Hi All,
I know this is basically a U.S forum, but it does get looked at worldwide, so I thought I would pass on an email I posted to all Aussie jet flyers on the weekend, concerning stolen jets and gear.
This has happened a few times over the last few years, and nothing has turned up in Auss that we know of, so maybe the gear is going off-shore.

Thanks for your time in reading this notice:

G'day Dave, Please let John know I will also be keeping eyes and ears open for him. Like you say its a small world especially the jet community when it comes to these sort of matters. Fingers crossed that hopefully we will be able to trackdown these mongrels and see that karma takes care of em.... see you at Wang next weekend mate.

Cheers- Marty
