Subject: [AJD] OT Lock up your radiators...



I spent all day saturday at my property and left in the evening about dark, 
locking my gates behind me.  



    Today,  I dropped in to let my dog run around
and pick up a few items,  and noticed something funny about a 371
GMC power unit sitting next to one of my parts draglines.  Upon
closer inspection someone had removed the radiator. 
&$$#&$(!!   The Dragaline next to it with a BUDA
HP-326 had it's radiator all askew,  an unsuccessful attemt. 
200 feet away my D7 also had the hood off and the radiator about 1/2
removed.



    I am beside myself.  I am at the mercy of the
criminals I guess.  My gates were locked,  it is 1/4 mile
from the gate to the machinery,  an awfully long way to pack tools
in and radiators out..  They removed bolts that were 1/2 inch so
they had a decent tool set.



     Most of me want to find an antipersonel land
mine and plant it under one of my remaining copper radiators.... 
Scrap has taken a big nose dive dropping over 50% in the past two
weeks,  so at least they didn't get as rich off my stolen
stuff.. 



                             
Chris
