Probably someone local. Had this been someone with the ability to move allot of hot iron in a hurry, everything would be gone. Whoever took your heads wanted them for themselves, not to resell, etc. Just my $0.02 after reading your post.
It was funny, they left the parts for the rest of the engine setting on the floor in front of the bench, but there was a cork bulletin board that had been setting in front of them that they put back...

And they moved a set of Shubeck lifters and Ross pistons for that motor, plus the matching intake for those heads and left them there...

If they were "scrapper" there were several heavy items that would have been easier to grab...

If they knew what the heads were, why leave the other nice pieces to go with them? If you just wanted the heads why leave the other stuff you could sell?

If they were just stealing stuff why not take all the other stuff, or the three big loaded tool boxes or the new welder?

It makes no sense to me. The garage is in a rural area south of Indy,...

I am just sick about what it has done to Bob, its a killer for him
