Thief in Sarasota, FL
Early on Wednesday 9/26/12 in Sarasota Florida my trailer was broken into at my home. A Word Jet Models (WJM) Rafale was stolen. It is painted all black. You cannot miss it. It has a Jet Central Rhino turbine with a Fly Eagle door sequencer and brake valve. A Futaba 14 channel 2.4 receiver was inside. There can't be many planes like this in the whole country, and maybe none like it in Florida.
Also stolen was a Gold Wing 100CC MSX in the Yellow and Blue Matt Hall scheme. It has a DA 100 in it with a 7 Channel Futaba 2.4 receiver. The thief did not take the wings or wing tube.
A Futaba 10CAP radio was also stolen.
If anyone shows up at a field or tries to sell any of this stuff, it is not his and is STOLEN. Please call the Sarasota County Sheriff and report it. Let's catch the Bast$%rd!
Turbine serial # JF170-299
Thanks for your help.

Sorry to hear about things like this, I do hope they, he , she gets caught!
The Police really don't mess around over there, and I'm sure they will catch up with the thieves!

Thanks for all the advice. Spent the day visiting hobby shops and all the pawn shops in the area, giving them potos, serial numbers, case number, etc. The owner's of the pawn shops indicated that the thief would likely go out of state if they are pros. I think they were amateurs, but look out Georgia!

Just to answer the question asked, I rent an apartment and did not have insurance that covered my loss. I figure I am out around $11,000. It will take a while to recover.

He lost several items totaling $11,000, not just a jet.
He guy ran into some bad luck... back off of him.
I doubt you insure your hobby.

Hope they catch them scum bags. It would seem there's more of this going on then ever before here lately. Even in locals that you never heard of stuff happening Something tells me it's gonna get worse before it gets better. Let us know of any new developments
