Stolen Equipment

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Hey folks, this is a copy and paste from an E-mail I just got, please contact the E-mail on the website listed and or PM me and I'll get in touch with Mike:

 

Please be aware of anyone selling or suddenly owning the following steel targets. The complete steel challenge set, 2 small & 2 large pepper poppers, 4 medium steel rectangles, 20 new GT paper target stands and other various steel targets. These items and others where stolen from my shooting trailer last night and the police have little hope of recovery. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Yup and you have some of them, or it's on the way to you via the Ray-Ray Express so were in this together, but the steel that was stolen is completely different...

That sucks alot. really has to sting with the price of steel these days. Hopefully, if anything - insurance will kick in and front some of the cost though- doubt that though.

check your local scrap yard

exactly what I was thinking. The guys who took them might not even know what they are for.

Oh man, that s#cks! hopefully they will catch the perp.

Those will probably show up in the bumper of a car, as metal has no memory or way to trace it.

Once they go in the forge, its impossible to separate them from all the other metal in the forge...it becomes one...That really sucks that someone stole that!

Most likely the owner has a decent insurance policy and it will be covered under personal property...

That will certainly depend of his deductible. Whats that much steel worth?

 

 

As others have said, I would check with the scrap yard 1st.

[AS350Driver 56]

Just got this in an email. This really sucks! I have been the victim of theft, and it is a real crappy feeling. I hope the catch the bastards!

Complete steel challenge set is about $4000.00 alone.

[BlueLineFish 615]

Skells don't shoot targets..they shoot each other. Guaranteed scrap. Quick money with no trace

[Maksim 1,504]

so scrap value of the steel?

He's the guy who runs the World Class Steel matches IIRC. havent dealt with him myself, but i've heard nothing but good about him.

[Murphy4570 15]

Scrap is around $11 for every 100 lb for light iron right now.

[tony357 386]

Just scrapped seven engines yesterday two trips..

 

190.00 1st trip

213.00 second trip.. each trip was in the 1700 pound range..

[CageFighter 236]

the thief should be hung up like a steel target so we all can do afew mag dumps w/ RayRay leading the way!

[hiker88 22]

I just saw the email from OBRPC. This sucks. I hope that they find the equipment and put the thieves behind bars. That's the kind of steel that suits them.

Tony - we should have shot them up first before you brought them to the scrap yard.

[Babaganoosh 192]

That sucks. That's Mike D's stuff I believe. He uses that stuff to run classes.

[Dan 177]

Are you kidding me? Here's what I see:

• Either the thief is a shooter him/herself and plans on using this set on their private land, unless they are as brash to bring them to the handful of clubs here in NJ risking raising suspicion.
  
• Sell for a whole $40 as scrap
  
• Sell on ebay/craigslist

It's actually Mike DiGennaro's, you more than likely have meet him, good guy, damn good gun game shooter and just an all around nice guy.

 

Oh, Al check your Email, taking about steel, I have yours..

[hd2000fxdl 422]

An update: Nothing new with finding the steel but the people who took it were selective in what they took. They left older stuff and just focused on the newer equipment, also they did take some some of the steel that would have been better for a scrapper, so this looks more like someone who knew exactly what they wanted and what it's for so it probably still out there.

 

I already did a quick scan of local sites like Craig's and Backpage and no hits as of yet. Also the scrap yards are on the lookout for anyone bringing something like this in.

[SpecialK 193]

Did you post this up on national gun forums like thehighroad.org, ar15.com, glock forums, beretta forums..... The more shooters that know the better luck you will have if it was taken for personal use.

[hd2000fxdl 422]

No I didn't but I will mention it to Mike and see if he would like to. I feel fine posting it here for him, but other sites I don't frequent or don't visit much at all I would rather leave to him to post.

[CageFighter 236]

maybe he should add it to the PAFOA.org site, since they are right next door.

[tony357 386]

Was this reported to local pd or state?

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Yes it was Tony...
