[cool][#0000ff]Sounds like you are one of the many victims of a "pickup patrol" squad. They operate by having one driver and two guys in the back of a truck driving through busy parking lots, looking into the beds of pickups parked there. Whenever they see something they can grab quick they jump out and throw it in their truck and boogie.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]They have caught a few of these teams and found garages and storage sheds loaded with all kinds of stuff they got to sell at yard sales or swap meets. Of course they do occasionally advertise or take their goods to pawn shops but most of it is private sale and not traceable. One group was running truckloads to other states.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I quit trusting people a long time ago. It pains me to be so cynical but there are just too many no-goods who have no respect for the rights of others...or concern for the grief and problems they cause by stealing things that mean so much or cost so much to other people.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have long subscribed to the philosophy that "LOCKS ARE DESIGNED TO KEEP INNOCENT PEOPLE INNOCENT". If you create too much temptation, somebody is going to take advantage of it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Sorry for your loss, man. I just got a new Laser Mag Express from Cabelas, to replace the Electric one they could not deliver. Long story. I just tried out that new Solo motor yesterday for the first time and it screams. I would scream if somebody ripped me off.[/#0000ff]
