Its not the first time it happened to me, but I simply cannot build a building big enough or a fence high enough to keep all my stuff out of harms way. I appreciate your comments about the reward, but I am serious. I want this stuff back. Thanks again,John Pearson Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16773-stolen-mack-bx-truck-parts/#findComment-68165 Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 John, I feel for you. I can tell when the price of scrap is up when things start missing fron my yard. These bastards will steel a hundred dollar part just to get two bucks for scrap. In your case it looks like they knew what they were after. Use words like "Rat Rod, Hot Rod, Rod Guage" in your search on Ebay and Craigslist. Good luck.

We were moving to a new shop in January, and this truck would have had a much better home, but too little, too late. Maybe something will turn up. I hope whoever stole it, chokes on it.-John Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16773-stolen-mack-bx-truck-parts/#findComment-68174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhasler Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 A few years ago my boss borrowed a Bobcat from a friend to do some work at the shop. While the Bobcat was sitting in the yard someone broke in and stole it and a bunch of other stuff. About a year later the police, during a raid for some unrelated investigation, found an assortment of stolen property. The Bobcat was among the stolen property that was found, it was recovered and returned to it's rightful owner. The best part was that while it was missing the thieves had done a lot of work to it, repainted it, and put a new set of tires on it! I wish you luck in getting your property back and hopefully it's in better shape than when it was taken. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"

fxfymn Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I'd post this on as many truck related sites such as ATHS, SPAAMFA, and the Brockway Club as you can think of. I don't think any collector/restorer would buy this if they knew it was stolen. You need to get the word out as much as possible.I guess you better plan on going to the Allentown and Hershey flea markets as well.Good luck and I'll keep my eye out in VA for you.

Turns out, the yard does have video surveillance, and they are pulling the tapes to see what we can find.
