Mike - really sorry to hear this - I suggest you post a picture of it as well on this thread - I know I saw that on your website when we were talking about the SCoT unit.

Sorry things are coming to this. Most people I've been associated with over the years would take the shirt off their back to help another. Sure hope our community can help get this back or at least prevent whoever did this from making money from the stolen item. I've seen post about cars being stolen also. So sad!

Such a sad state of the world today when people will stoop to such things! Nothing is safe today from being stolen. I hope the culprit is caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law!! A good beating,at the least, is justifiable in my book..........

I'm hoping whoever stole it was dumb enough to think they can sell it. My fear however is that someone wandered in off the street and stole it for recycle value. This is what happened to a guy I know in the Northeast. Thieves broke into his shop / warehouse, stole several hundred pounds of valuable antique car parts, used a crow bar to tear the chrome grills off some vintage MGs (including irreplaceable and extremely rare pre-war grills), loaded it all into a beat up MGB that was in the shop and used it as a battering ram to break down the door and escape. The police finally responded to the alarm two hours later. Nothing was ever recovered.

It would be worth watching all the local recycling yards and offering a substantial reward for the blower's return. The owners often don't care about stolen goods so they need a good reason (read "money") to return the item and side-skirt a police report.
