RE: Stolen Planes
"Keep an eye on E-bay, most of these idiots aren't too bright. Local thieves around here often try to dispose of stolen prperty there thinking it's safe and won't be tracked. You might even get to meet them to "buy" your stuff back. Pay-back's a m.F.

A comment about theft but not regarding this particular incident:
I own a hobby shop which has experienced losses over the years. Most recently I lost some engines which were taken out of a showcase, but the thief/thieves did not take the boxes in which were the mufflers, tools, and instructions, and in one case, the carburetor. bhady's comment above reminds me that sometimes we are our own worst enemies when we see an e-bay ad which might say "new Saito .72, no box, no muffler, no manual" and we think "Good Deal" instead of "How can it be that this seller has this new engine with no accessories and is willing to take any price for it?"
