4 of them? How much does one of those things weigh? 300, 400, 500 pounds?
That was a serious project those people pulled off. Had to take several hours. Surely somebody saw something.

Around 480-540lb. They took 3 out of the crates, cut the controls and took the other one off a boat.

Sounds like someone new what was going on there. Wonder if they had a recent employee let go? I say that because we went through a nasty firing of an employee and then for the next month or so things were stolen from us...nothing was proven but we all knew.

that is crazy, that people would stoope so low to steel. is there any way to check the numbers on the motors or look and see if there are new motors on old boats. i am sure it is people needing money fast so the word will be out that there are new motors for sell cheep. look on ebay and sites like that to to see if any motors are going cheep. that realy stinks sory for your head ach and lose. hope the people who did this gets cought and get what they deserve.

Unreal. Hope they catch the bastages. Personally, I think they're mistake is that they stole 3 engines. They might be able to get away with hocking 1, but 3 is going to be a problem. Especially when the new owner has a problem with the motor and takes it to a shop only to find out is "hot". Unless the crooks are planning on using them personnaly and never taking them to a reputable engine shop, I'd say they'll get caught.

if u catch em tie one of the motors around their neck and send them to the bottom of the lake.... that is completely apauling to think that someone would do that.... i just dont understand what the world is coming to...i would check the local business around u that are close and see if any of there security cameras were pointing at your dealership and if so check them.... i am a Criminal Justice major and thats one of the first things we are taught to look at in a theft....

man that is some stuff there,they'll probably part them out,if they take them to have them worked on the computer should show them stolen,the computer themselves will be useless.but the other parts priceless,being close to the parkway they could be anywhere..
