Aircraft part strippers

To those who have ever stolen parts from another's plane, may you be cursed with a terminal condition,long, lingering and expensive and just before you snuff find out something terrible has happened.

I take it, somebody has taken an affirmative donation from you/your plane.

I would hunt them down- we have enough challenges in the sport, that we don't need this too!!!

I agree Leon, I'm sorry to hear this mate. :(

We had a prop go "missing" some time back at our airfield....low and behold it was a pilot who stole it! :evil:
He was found out and the prop was returned a week later under ultimatum....(good thing)....BUT....I was dismayed that those who knew the identity of this sad despicable rat refuse to lay a charge or reveal his identity!

Name and shame them I say....to save others from their criminal intent! :evil:

Bad news to hear this Leon, hope the culprit is eliminated from the sport soon! I assume the incident occurred at our home base, which causes concern as my aircraft is locked up for the next few weeks :( Strongs mate!
