Default Reward Offered To Help Catch Thieves - Indy Area

Hey All,

I just got broken into here at the shop and had a couple things taken.

First was a set of American Racing Headers for a 2002 F-body, race version 1 7/8" with a very specific collector on the y-pipe.

Second was a set of Strange front and rear brakes for the same car, but for a 9" axle and large Ford bearings.

Last is a BMR k-member and lower A arms.

It was just about 4AM when it happened and they used a 12 gauge shotgun to blow out a window next to the front door. The parts were in the open area near the door. Another odd thing is that I got a phone call from a FL number just 5 or so minutes before the alarm company called. Not sure if that is related or not, but checking into it.

So I am offering a reward up to $2000 for anyone who helps me get the parts back as well as a conviction.

Man I hate thieves.

Please let me know if you have any info and have a great day everyone.

Mike Norris

Definately shitty news Mike. I've got a lot of friends in Indy in the LS scene and they have even more friends. I've put the word out to the best of them. Hopefully we all will be able to beat the bushes and put this piece of **** in jail.

Wow that sucks, hope you find them, I will keep my eyes open.

Its scary they used a 12 gauge that area is usually very safe.

Thanks for spreading the word everyone. No one that has come through recently would have caught my eye at this point. If folks could check their local Craigslist sites for Chicago, Louisville, Cincy and so on it would be great.

For what is is worth a new HD security camera system linke dot my home and ADT is set to go in. So if it happens again I should have some high quality pics and video :-)

Have a great Christmas weekend everyone.

Mike,

You can use a site called search tempest, and it will search all the surrounding craigslist areas up to a certain mile distance for you. Tons faster than logging into a bunch of different sites.

Isnt much but it should help.

www.searchtempest.com

Ill keep my eyes peeled also

Randy
