Military Thieves
Well, went to work on my blazer today that was stored at the hoby shop on base. Pushed it into the garage and took the cover off the engine. My buddie calls to me and asks why the hell I left the valve covers off? I come over and look and lo and behold my radiator hose is cut, Thunder series 800 cfm polished carb, MSD billet ditributor, edelbrock elite polished valve covers, Coil, 6al ingnition box, MSD HP wires, ece drop spindles, my toolbox and I'm sure other things yet to be discovered, are all gone. My intake bolts are gone and the corners all dinged up where they tried to pry it off.
I am so mad right now!! A locked gated enclosure on a military base and my S#!t is stolen by another military member. So much for Honor, Courage, and Commitment. We would have had it running today too. Of course I hadn't put full coverage on it because it's not running and I signed a waiver with the shop that they are not responsible for damages. We found the footprints where they guy jumped over the fence but CID said there isn't much they can do. Between the engine, trans, and miscellaneous parts, I've spent close to 10K on this thing in the last few months and now this. @$#%$# Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.
