Since the thread I have gotten well over 40 PM's from customers and members offering to help. I didn't want to make a Thread about this. If you all want to that's fine.

If this is something you all want to do. I will set my personal pride on the side line and make it easy all the way around.

On Tuesday March 13, 2012 at approximately 7:00 AM Central Standard Time, I was contacted by the gentlemen that I lease the shop from advising me that my shop had been burglarized and that the Bowling Green Police Department were on the scene investigating. When I arrived at the shop it was easy to see how entry was made. There was a brick thrown through a window into the office area and also into the side door as well. Once inside the shop I did a quick walk thru to see what items were taken. Needless to say that list grows EVERYDAY! There are several customer's cars that are inside the shop at this point and parts were taken from nearly every car.
The burglary occurred at approximately 8:19 PM Central Standard Time on Monday March 12, 2012. I had just left the shop at right around 7:00 PM. The video shows two subjects wearing hoodies that walk up and down the parking lot twice between KY-Turbo and the Storage Units. One subject walks up to the window in the front office and throws a brick through the window. Both subjects ran and hid near the business that has the surveillance video. After a short time the subject makes entry into the front office. Later a light colored four-door car with a driver can be seen across two fences sitting in the Catholic School Parking Lot. The video shows the two subjects going under the face, across the grass lot and under the next fence to load stolen items in the vehicle. All in all they spent just over an hour inside and out of the property. Eventually they started sitting items outside and the same vehicle drives up Nugent Street and loads the remaining items until there was no more room inside the vehicle. Luckily several blow off valves, wastegates, and one turbo were found in a pile outside that they did not have room to fit inside the car. The only blessing is they didn't have a bigger vehicle to haul anything bigger than what they took. There were very few LSX specific items taken. These people knew exactly what they were stealing!

Obvious questions:

Bowling Green Police Department gathered fingerprints from various locations throughout the shop and video was retrieved from an adjacent business. All parts that had serial number have been entered into the National Crime Information Center, or NCIC. Fingerprints have also been sent off and we are awaiting that information as well. It is obvious that this has set KY-Turbo back, thus it has set each customer back as well.

Was there insurance?

KY-Turbo had just expanded the shop doubling the capacity and the insurance company had a lapse in writing the policy. They were to send an agent out within the next week to view the expanded space and to give an estimate on the new policy

What happens to builds and customer's cars at this point?

I have spoken personally to each and every person that had a car or part here at the shop. I have assured each customer that I will do what is necessary to make things right. That being said, obviously this will not be an overnight fix. I am out of pocket the damages to each vehicle, build, or part that was stolen or damaged unless the customer's insurance agrees to cover that. If one customer decides to not accept this fact in a sense it will "rock the boat" and possibly "sink the ship." I would like to tell past, current, and future KY-Turbo customers that I have been in business and have built a name for myself and this shop and will not let this hamper the years of work and dedication that I've given to be at the point KY-Turbo was at prior to the burglary. Many shops have went under in the LS Turbo Game prior to this for various reasons and just walked away. I want to reassure you that is not the case, but this will take time to recover from. Please be patient with emails, phone calls, and my availability at this point. This past Wednesday, my Wife and I had our second baby boy. Reed Monroe Jenkins and Mom are both doing fine.

We are looking to to build a Smaller 2400sqft Building on the property out house is one. This will drastically cut my over head expenses allowing me to recover from this quicker.

Things are still very much up in the air at this point.
