After 23 years in business & owning my own shop, somebody cut the loop for the pad lock on the walk in door & broke in.
Who ever it was, like they knew directly what they wanted & got just about every piece I had to a 1988 LT250R Suzuki engine.
I was rebuilding it for CorvetteZO6.
Bottom end is painted Charcoal Gray Matalic in color. ( like the color on L head block 5HP Briggs & Stratton kart engines.
So if you see on the net or E bay, somebody looking for an 88 year cylinder, flywheel cover & bolts or a water pump cover, they might be a good suspect to my bandit.
Other items taken.
New, ESR 330PV complete cylinder kit= cylinder has some slight dings on the reed mount gasket surface & the Wiseco piston box is a bit ruff looking where is been handled so much.
New, ESR 310 cylinder casting= no sleeve installed, just the casting, but they took the new replacement sleeve for it, so be looking out for somebody wanting the sleeve installed.
New, 88 year LT250R Suz, LA Sleeve #FL-5064 replacement sleeve & new Wiseco #571MO6700 piston kit.
Used & ported, but junk, water leaker Honda TRX450R head, that was laying on the bench with the ESR & Suzuki stuff.
I got my suspects here close to me I'm thinking about, so I'm following my ol hillbilly blood hound nose.
Everybody that knows me for many miles around, knows if they are in need of something, I'll help them out if I got to give it to them, so it dont make no sense that somebody would break into my place.
Same thing at my house, you come visit me, if you came hungry, you'll not leave hungry.

That's ashame Neil. I hate hearing about people getting robbed. Especially generous people. Hope you get it straight.
-
Major bummer. I hope they are found and damaged on the way to the pokey.
-
I'm sorry to hear that Neil. Some people are just freakin sorry like that! Not much I hate worse than a thief!
-
Sorry to here that Neil:( hope you find them and your parts!
-
Damn Neil that sucks!!...
-
yeah thats terrible Neil. I hope they are caught and you get your stuff back. Its a shame that people like corvettez06 got up in it too.
Well, my stuff they took, if I get it back so be it, because I look at it like this, good Lord allowed me to have it & if he dont want me to have anymore, thats how it will be, but I really would like to get CorvetteZO6 stuff back to do right by him.

Dam Neil that's bullshit. This sounds like an "inside job" to me. An ex-customer who knows where your place is and know what type of business you do, someone who called or showed up to your shop but didn't purchase anything. They knew exactly what they were coming for when they broke in.
-
Sorry to hear about this. I know how it feels because my first 250r was stolen from me. People that do stuff like that get jammed up eventually one way or another.
-
Freakin low lifes nowadays. Sorry to hear this Neil. No respect anymore for other people or other peoples stuff. People like that need a good ol' fashion beating. IMO Hope you solve the case.
-
sounds about right for NC im sad to say seems like B&Es have gone up all over the state. hate to hear you got hit Neil. hope you find the culprit also hope you have a better sherriffs department than we have here they were no help at all when the body shop where i work was broke into a while back.
-
That sucks Neil, sorry to hear.
Hope ya catch the thieving *******s..
-
Dang man, I hate to hear it. Pm coming your way.
-
Terrible. Nothing upsets me more than getting ripped off.
-
Man that sucks Neil, sorry to hear that. That is one reason why I really have a hard time leaving my quads somewhere else than close to me. That is what I hate the most the people who work there but off for what they got and do and other people just come and take it all and don't think twice but how much money they can get out of it. I hope they are caught and delt with correctly and you get your stuff back.
-
Thanks Chrisr for the pm, I sent you one back.
Neil
-
Sorry to hear neil... best of luck bagging this sh!t bag and getting all your things back as they were... effin low life loser thieves
-
Sorry to hear that Neil. On a positive note. I always enjoy reading your posts. Things like "my ol hillbilly bloodhound nose" just crack me up.
-
Bad things, shouldn't happen to good people like you, Neil. :sign0188: It's a damn shame. We'll keep our eyes and ears open, you keep us posted. :friendly_wink:
-
What goes around comes around. Its unfortunate that stealing is the way of some people. some how things will work out. Sorry it had to happen to you Neil.
-
WHAT? That sucks! And not to sounds ignorant but I wanted that 330 cylinder! WOW!
-
WHAT? That sucks! And not to sounds ignorant but I wanted that 330 cylinder! WOW!
Well its gone now as gone can be, & that 310 cylinder I was going to sleeve up.
I been working the last two days, fixing some old timey type locks for the doors. Next bandit might can cut the lock off, but they'll need something bigger than their body to break the door down.
Working on a new type alarm system as well, horns blowing & lights flashing, will be sure to wake up everybody within a 1/4 mile.

Some of those car alarm type things are crazy loud and abnoxious. Wake the zombies.
-
Crazy! I still cant believe someone broke into my house in broad daylight!
-
What goes around comes around. some how things will work out.
"Karmas a b*tch!" Don't believe in that one either. This one is always true for me, "Nice guys finish last."
People see good people as "chump" or "puss" or someone to take advantage of. There are alot of "ugly" people in this world.
-
Every time I see this thread bummed I can't wait to check it out hoping to see that neil got his stuff back...
POx thieves.
-
Tell you what, next bandit comes & wants to break in, they better bring something to do it with, because they wont be doing it with just their hands & it wont be easy.
My fault & I'm kicking myself over it, guess I was to trusting of everybody coming in my shop.

I had the same problem in the garage at my house. One morning there is a path of ATV tires and other stuff leading to the back yard and around the house. Boarded up the window and nailed the back door shut. 16 penny lockout
-
Oh yeah, when I get done with my new locking up plan in place up, they better bring a Bulldozier. It wont be easy or quick to break in.
Neil
-
sorry about this bad news. its probably someone addicted to drugs or someone you know with financial issues. they usually live close by and/or know you. shouldnt be too difficult to find. especially when they try and fence the parts. best of luck catching the bum(s).

I hate thieves!!!!! I went and got one of those cameras that sends pictures through an internet router to your smartphone everytime it senses movement. The cheaper ones that dont pan are only around 65 bucks and a nicer one can be had for around 150. If I have to worry about thieves I really want to find out who it is. Locks only keep honest people out. If someone really wants to get in they usually will. Good luck finding the bandit and hope they get hung by the nads.
-
Thats sucks, sorry to hear that.
-
Thieves suck! Itchy finger *******s. See my new post...
-
In some parts of the Muslim world they cut the hands off thieves. It is a little more lenient punishment than I prefer but it's a start.
