My thoughts exactly

I'll keep an eye and an ear out.

Holy crap thats fu**ed, that list would fill a truck

what do these people think we are all idiots and dont speak about things like this happening and tell the people who owned it when they start offering a deal to good to be true. hope they catch them and flog them within an inch of their lives F*&%$@g, A*&^%$#@(S and thats being polite!!!!

Screw it, bring back the Guillotine.....off with their heads. Man thats a whole lot of things to be stolen, did they take an entire shipping container?

B@rstards... bet this stuff turns up on ebay.. will keep a look out.

Vince.

Sorry to hear this fellas.
I really hope you guys find them.
Good luck.

Bloody Oxygen thieves i will be keeping an eye and ear out i hope the scum get busted.

How would these low life's off load all this stuff?
The model community in AUS is too small not too notice cheap planes on the market.
Alarm systems, truck to move it all.
It wasn't a new shipment was it?
Something in there that should not be there? that Model sports did not know about!

Ruff count 110 products stolen

Holy crap - they didn't muck around.... There are some good models there. Will also keep a look out to see if stuff is getting pawned off up here in the NT.

I hope Brian and Dave don't suffer too badly, that said, it is thousands of dollars worth of gear there. I can't believe there are people within the R/C community that would do such a thing.

Have heard of 90 size helis going walkabouts at some of the bigger comps down south too....

A$$hole$

That is terrible. I will keep an eye out on ebay. It is hard to imagine they could move this stuff very easily without using something like ebay. Bastards!

:7aa: + :22a: + =

Has anyone heard anything else regarding Dave and Brian's gear??

Hey just caught this, any news?????
Lee in the NT
