Guys, let it go and leave Frank alone. However abrasive he is , the dude bends over backwards to do things right. He cant always please all people, nor does he have to. One thing everyone can be certain of is that Frank has and will continue to handle the situation to the best of doing what is right. Unfortunately this means that some of our curiosities can't be satisfied, but this does not need to turn into a mob demanding of Frank whats is not owed to anyone here besides those at actual loss.

Really? Homeowners Claim!
If you have to pull a Homeowners Claim on a Airframe, I think you prorities are a little off. Maybe glow planes, or Foamys are more manageable?
It really sucks that we have to even get to this point.

After reading between the lines on this thread imo this is not really a "stolen" jet. I have no facts or involvement with this situation what so ever. If it was truly a well known vender who goes to many shows then is it possible this vendor has something to do with fei bao and there is some type of misunderstanding as to who owns that jet and those two party's will work it out end of story...just my two cents

Actually I think Frank was the one that teased the crowd with promises of pictures and a timeline release of information as well as a 80% of really knowing who the guy or gal was-Sure everyone has the right to change their mind but IMHO I think he brought a lot of unwanted attention to this event that suggests there may be a lack of security, disorganization and possible unsavory characters that it may attract among other things.

Here's the Closing Statement and then as far as I am concerned, this thread may be closed. I will not respond to it again.
The bottom line: the photo was crap in that it showed someone handing a box in that area. I embellished the" story" in hopes of flushing out the perpetrator,
but was unsuccessful in getting anything concrete. The photo did NOT enhance well enough to get a clear picture of who it was. We are NOT even certain that
the photo wasn't of one of the Vendors simply moving a kit from one place to another. With all that took place, of course I have my suspicions as to what happened,
but it would not be fair for me to share that and cause anyone unwarranted grief if I were mistaken. This is the first time in 31 years that this has happened, we will incorporate measure
to make it more difficult to happen in the future. So, this case is closed as far as we are concerned. The Police are involved now, and they are far better at investigating than we are!

So now you admit you don't know who was in the picture you so emphatically advertised you had clearly showing the culprit
Seems to me all your events security is suspect ?

I am reading this and thinking to myself, "what a friggin soap opera"! One thing does stick out in my mind and it's two posts that Mr. Tiano has made:
"I am 80% positive of the identification. Everybody knows this person, he is very well known in the market place. I think I will give this two more days and hope that "someone" contacts "someone" with information of the kit whereabouts.
Or maybe somebody will just call one of the people and say, here it is, no questions asked. If nothing by Saturday, we will release what we have.
This is going to end participation in any jet events for this person or persons!
So, obviously many think this is something to make light of, like it's a freaking joke? How about this? Just forget me posting anything more about it, other than this: I got the enhanced photos back today,
and it is definitely a person everyone knows. And the person is associated with one of the Vendors! Now ain't that sumthin???? I'll work it out myself with him."
Both of these statements made by Mr. Tiano cast a negative light on someone who obviously is well known by the jet community and is associated with a vendor. So basically he just implied that someone from a large vendor in the jet community is a thief. Am I reading this wrong? In my opinion it was incredibly wrong to even make these two above statements, but when questioned about what he himself took the time to post, he gets upset about it. Why not let the police deal with it and leave it alone? I am sorry but you have rung a bell that can't be un-rung now.
Let's say I was one of the well known vendors at your event and known to the community. I would be quite upset at the fact that you had indirectly just accused me or one of my employees of being a thief. Although I would know the truth about being a thief, the people on these forums now have doubt about every person who works for a vendor.
Just my .02

The puzzling part about the bluff is that it was directed to a specific individual(s). If one didn't suspect anyone in particular , why use the vendor relationship as part of the bluff? After all if the thief is not vendor related, he will immediately know the Frank had no clue on his identity.

I was at FJ Thursday and it was Awesome. Going around from tent to tent talking with the guys was very informative for me as I fly 1/4 scale aerobatics and would eventually like to get a turbine. I think it really sucks that there are thieves out there that screw it up for the rest of us because I'm sure security will be tighter and the honest Joe will suffer. I thought the event was well run and enjoyed it thouroughly. keep up the good work Frank, see you at Top Gun!!

Just remember "Bit Dog Barks the Loudest"
I think the ploy by FT was an admirable attempt to flush the lowlife. For you who did not like the ploy I sure hope this guy is not cutting the locks on your trailer or kicking your backdoor in next.
