That really sucks, Ralph. I feel for you.
If it were mine, I would do the following to dissuade the a-holes from trying to
sell their booty or use it in an as yet unregistered Exp A/B:
1) Post a free ad at barnstomers.com and also Craig's List, eBay or anywhere else
that you can think of that an aircraft engine might appear for sale.
2) Advise all EAA chapters in the area.
3) Post at all the airports in the area.
4) Advise the FSDO and their inspectors.
5) Advise all the DARs in your region.
If it was stolen to replace the engine in an SLSA, then it would require an A&P
or Repair Station to do the install, so I would also contact all the FBOs and
A&Ps you can find in your area.
None of this will guarantee return of your stuff or apprehension of the culprits
but anything you can do to squelch the a-holes' plans would be worth the effort,
in my book.

Ralph=2C
You have my sympathies=2C too. I hate effin thieves. NO punishment is t
oo harsh for them=2C IMO.
Adding to what Thom said=2C I would also recommend the following=3B
Since these losers often sacrifice cables=2C hoses=2C harnesses=2C etc=2C
their haste=2C I would also contact
EVERY "company=2C vendor=2C retail outlet=2C etc"=2C that sells replacement
parts for items stolen. Ask the
owner if they can notify you if someone within a 20 mile radius of you buys
a likely related part.
Often=2C once these vermin think they've gotten away with the crime=2C th
ey start shopping around for
the parts they either destroyed in the removal=2C or left behind (e.g. radi
ators=2C oil coolers=2C etc)
In this day and age of technology=2C the thief knows better that to post
the engine=2C prop or anything with
a traceable serial number=2C on Barnstormers=2C etc. Do Not look there for
your parts.
HOWEVER!!!!! Stealing your engine just MAY have been the financial boos
t some POS needed to
finally begin his build own project!! I would contact every airplane kit
sales company that the 912 would
be a good engine for.
Here's another important point=3B This a.hole knows there ain't NO way h
e can sell this engine whole!!
This means he will either part it out (not likely)=2C or he will always mai
ntain possession of it=2C and therefore
he will restrict the access to the serial number. I would contact the FAA
=2C and see if they can somehow notify
the FBI if there are any 912 engines registered in your area for the next 1
2 months. The pig surely knows
that in order to register a plane with the FAA=2C he will HAVE supply an en
gine serial number. He will not
give out an accurate number that can be traced=2C but rather he will be off
several digits.
If you do your homework=2C you WILL find out who these lowlifes are. The
ir need to make use of their
stolen merchandise can often be detected by watching when they buy replacem
ents parts.

Dear Al,
serves you right. You should never go to London unless you wish to be attac
ked.
You cannot step outside the Savoy these days without some ner-do-well remov
ing your fingers- with a chain cutter to steal the rings from it.
Robbers have often been known to cut- the pearl from your belly button-
or the diamond from your nostril with a Stanley Knife while you wait for a
bus.
It is no good going to the police. They are almost entirely working with th
e thieves. The Police will direct someone who asks the way down a dark alle
y where they will be attacked,beaten up and robbed.They then share their il
l gotten gains between them.
The tourists `hot` spots like the Tower of London or Buckingham Palace are
worst. I have myself been attacked by a `Beefeater` at the Tower. I was bat
tered on the head and held at the point of a pike while another `Beefeater`
colleague- robbed me.
The only consolation is that everywhere else is so much worse. My wife had
a Druid leap upon her while walking around Stonehenge and a turbulent pries
t stole her handbag in Canterbury Cathedral.
Other countries are much, much worse.
The best advice you can accept is to stay home in Nigeria where everyone is
a friend and you can always borrow someones computer to send silly message
s to the rest of the world.

Kolb list guys=2C
It's interesting that this subject of aircraft theft is now pertinent on
this list.
The topic of aircraft security was just brought up on the Aeroelectric list
a few days ago.
My advice is=3B take the time to make a few official looking signs that a
dvise
ALL who enter into the areas they are being video taped!!! You don't even
need to actually tape them.....just put the fear of God in them that the ar
e
on camera!!
My sign would read as follows=3B
ATTENTION!!
YOU ARE BEING TAPED BY A HIDDEN CAMERA SURVEILLANCE
SYSTEM. REMAINING IN THIS AREA FOR MORE THAN 3 MINUTES
ACTIVATES A MODEM TO NOTIFY POLICE.
YOU HAVE 2 1/2 MINUTES BEFORE THE POLICE ARE CONTACTED
WITH THIS LOCATION!! GOOD BYE!!
You don't actually have to have cameras. All you need to do is make them
THINK you have
cameras!! You can make a super easy=2C motion detecting=2C flashing LED li
ght attention getter!
Picture yourself as a thief....you walk up to a hangar=2C airplane=2C car
....whatever=2C and a
motion light starts flashing and lights up illuminating that sign. There's
only two ways they
would stay there=3B no way & no how!!
BTW=2C the thief that took your engine KNEW what you had!! He is going t
o be a local airport
bum=2C guaranteed!

I'm not so sure that is accurate, Ralph's U-Tube video was a great advertisement
for a motivated theft ring....as it showed his hanger and airport. When I post
my first U-Tube Video it will be scant on location details. I will invest
in a security camera as well.... Lesson Learned !

Harbor Freight recently had a system with 4 cameras, a monitor, and a DVR
for cheap [maybe less than $200].
A while back, I called a local alarm company and got them to give me about
10 old cameras with mounts that had been removed from a bank. We installed
them all over our field [dummy cameras] along with a bunch of warning
signs. It has worked so far.

Ralph,
Very sorry to hear this news. These guys cant understand the efforts that a home
builder puts in to build these wonderful flying machines. As Ellery mentioned,
If caught they should be hung upside down like a Wind Sock.
Hopefully your insurance helps you some way. I will recommend you to post it on
the other matronics lists too so that you can build awareness among fellow builders.
Wish you the best!

Years ago I owned a "Tire & Brake" business. Harbor Freight sells fake
security cameras=2C with a red blinking LED light on the front. I mounted
a couple of them on the outside of my shop. Never had a problem.
I'm sure if Ralph and his buddy had a couple of these fakes mounted in
plain view=2C we wouldn't be having this converstion! : (
IIRC=2C those make-believe cameras were only a few dollars=2C maybe $10 e

I still maintain=2C a couple of these cameras and a few of those 'official'

Hang him from the rafters with handcuffs. Maybe with some padding, I don't
want the cuffs to hurt very much. They might distract his attention from the
art work I would be doing on his legs 'n stuff with a propane torch.
