Stolen parts alert!

[RichardT10829]

sounds too specific to be scrap hounds, i normally find copper and lead get better money than steel (here in the UK) sounds to me like they were stolen to order.

I would check www.milweb.net and see if anyone has posted up items alot of military hardware gets put on there from all over the Globe so its worth watchin.....if you email the admin for the forum he can keep and eye out for you (rather than post up stolen bits which will inevetebly spook any theif into melting it down)

That stuff was taken to fill an order no doubt.. Copper and Brass is the usual target and with the HUGE drop in price the ferrous would be worth stuff all.. I took over a ton to a yard 3 weeks ago and received the princely sum of $15.00.!!!!!!!
Its gone up since then the the price still wouldn't cover the cost of their fuel driving to nick the stuff.. Maybe an add asking for "Stuart bits wanted" may turn something up.???

...about this. First the guys who took this have a use for it. Likely they are doing restoration of vehicles. Worst of all one of them you know or have met one of them, and he has seen what was there and told his pals. Then there was a chat and someone said "Hey we can use that, he'll never get to it (or miss it)".
Run it through your mind who you had over and what they didn't take and why. The other thing you have to remember is there is no mercy in this hobby. I can't tell you the number of times I have told a friend who asked what my next project was, what I had in mind and the next weekend or day it was gone. He went out and got it. And this is just the little guys in the hobby. It's the high rollers.

Man. I could write a book.

Can I read your manuscript before your agent sees it?
