BURGLARY: Mokena/Tinley Area... Romito Racing Engines right off of 187th and Wolfe road was burglarized the other night. Here's the post another guy made:
They got a set of Eagle Rods(LS1/LS2), and Diamond(I believe) 402 stroker pistons for an LS2.(Hence my WTB ad on here 
)
As well as a set of my buddy's fully ported BBC Dart Pro 1 heads.
Anyone that knows Ray knows he's a straight up, legit kind of guy...And it's going to put him out of business if he has to replace all of this on his dollar...His insurance may or may not cover it.
Keep your eye's peeled...The stuff stolen for the most part is no common off the shelf stuff...Should be easy to spot.
If for some reason you need to get a hold of Ray and can't, PM me and I'll get the info to him.

Romito race engines theft 
We too were victims of the incident at Romito Race Engines. We lost the bottom end assembly consisting of a Dart Big Block engine short block with a callies crank, comp cam and jesel belt drive. If anyone feels that they may know where my short block is please feel free to contact me, cneace@vsihp.com. All tips and information will be kept confidential!
As this has affected more than just my family and Rays, i am asking for all to PLEASE CALL IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS! SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING!!
Ray is a great guy with a big heart (as a matter of fact his whole family). I feel sorry for the people who did this to them and us. As we are friends and clients of Romito Race Engines, we STILL LOVE YOU AND BELIEVE IN YOU RAY!!!

Daaaaammmmnnn!! That sux! I had my heads done at this shop and i will agree with everyone that Ray is a great guy. It really sucks that this had to happen, but even worse that it happened to Ray. I know I'll be watching for the stolen merchandise and hopefully the guy who did this will be caught and castrated!
