For you guys in Southern California

Well amigos,
Today is my 75th birthday and I woke up to find someone broke into my garage and stole my car -- my grim reaper gas rigger --two 29.5 zen engines-- all my gas props -- transmitter -- tool box with all the stuff that took years to gather -- I was going to go to Legg Lake to do some serius testing today -- at least the police found the car in about an hour -- only because the guy who stole it found my LoJack info in the glove box and left the car on the street about three blocks from my house -- so please all my friends in the LA area keep a look out for my stuff

Happy new year

Henry

That sucks.Hopefully there will be enough guys seeing this that they are bound to turn up.Had that happen years back in a much smaller form,it hurts.

Mike, thanks for the heads-up. That is SO F*&K'd UP !! Henry is probably the coolest, friendliest, warmest gent on the scene. He always gives me and everyone else a hug when we meet. The creep(s) that took his gear probabably have no idea what they got. I hope they get caught & Henry gets his stuff back. I'll keep an eye out & spread the news to the SoCalFE guys (and lube up my tree shredder )

[Chilli]

No problem Bro. I figured you would want to know and did'nt know if the word got out to the FE guys at Legg.

Hope you find the little weasel. I think the shredder would be self lubricating in this case.

So Sorry to hear about Henry he did seam like a nice guy. Prayers do help, it is like sending good energy.

But thief's do not care about any one but there selfs. Karma will get them. The jerk that broke it to my house and stole about $8000.00 worth of stuff. He stole a I pod with GPS in it and got caught with a hand gun in the car he was driving. He is a two time looser and will be facing a lot of time.

Man oh man these morons have no idea of what they stole and the time that went into the projects.....time for Chopper Reid to sort them out.

A Kind word ( and a gun) gets you more than a kind word by itself !


AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2010-09-27, 1:43 am. E.S.T.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after
you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my
girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather
important message.
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your
pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was
wearing the jacket for a reason.. my girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd
tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45
ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening.
Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!
I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with crap in your pants.
I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and
wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us
again].
After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire
episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other
people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153
gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your
wallet. [That made his day!]
I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ..... after I
broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI,
while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.
The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number
etc.).
;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution
is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort
through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the
opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in
life.. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours, Semper Fi,
Alex
