Theft

4543 · 11-20-2012, 02:14 AM

When we quit racing we put our corvette and trailer in secure storage. Guess there is no such thing. Came to the trailer to check on things today and found that someone had been in the trailer and helped themselves to a lot of stuff. The only good news in this is the sheriff got some really good DNA samples. Please keep your eyes open for the following stolen from central Texas. Biggest item is complete Jim lewis 350/270 complete carb to Pam with msd distributor. Would run 1.00 under. Two munsinger converters one for 200, one for 350, two Pro Star front wheels with Goodyear frontrunners, two 8 in rear Prostars with old Goodyear radials, two aerospace front calipers, lots of MSD spare parts and a lot of other stuff that I can't remember yet. We had been talking about racing some next year but doesn't look like that will happen now. Please watch out for this stuff and contact us if any is located. Thanks for your help. Mike McMahan

Watch Craigslist for your parts. I hate thieves and hope you catch the ____'s!

Also watch www.craiglook.com, which is now claz.org....you can specify a search range by zip code and it searches Craiglist, racingjunk, etc....dont stop watching racingjunk, but this is another option.

Hope they find and hang the worthless thieves.

Sorry about your loss, I hope they catch them and you get it all back. Any damage to the car or trailer?

Not that I pay alot of attention of what goes on over there but the OP might want to go over to yellow bullet and tear someone a new one. Look for the thread in trash or be trashed titled
'More Theft"

Rob, Thanks got the heads up. I did not even know that forum exhisted. I don't get into conversations with that type of keyboard cowboy. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am honest and aboveboard in everything I do. Just for the record there is no insurance. I posted here hoping that someone might hear something and I might get some of my stuff back. Mike McMahan

I will keep an eye open here in the Dallas area

Thanks to all of you who have contacted me or offered to watch out for the parts. I have been contacted by another racer who lives about 30 miles from here whose trailer was broken into I believe last week. Just a heads up so that you Central Texas racers can check your trailers security. I am still finding things missing and will try to post a list next week but items to be added are a new set of Performance welding merge collecters, MSD 7AL2, lots of hand tools, air tools, air compressor, etc. Thanks again.
