Title: VIR Sept 20-21 (Honda Generator)
Post by: Butters79 on September 22, 2008, 08:11:56 AM
This past weekend some jackass decided to rain on my parade by stealing my Honda EU2000 generator.  I do not understand what possesses people to do such a thing.  I was located 1 row off of the garaged  about the middle of the garages.  My trailer was a silver 6x12 with a yellow SV650 and a Orange RS125 under the canopy.  If anyone happens to have info please contact me.

Thats awful man.  People ask me sometimes if I'm just going to leave my tool box out at night or this or that and I always say yea, its just us track guys here, its like a family, so thats really sad that things still get stolen and now we have to think twice about leaving things around, its like were out in the real world, the paddock is supposed to be our break from that.

we had our laptop stolen from our hotel room at indy, first major item i've ever had stolen in my life, so i feel ya, it sucks

that announcement was made in error as the drunken owner left it in someone elses pit and walked away from it. he also then went back to have them announce that it had been returned.. another error. as the owner walked past the pit he left it at he was like hey thats mine i guess i left it here last night. thanks for moving it out of the street for me.

butters sorry about the genny. hopefully it will get returned soon.

Thanks to everyone.  I did not notice that the generator was missing until I was packing up in Sunday.  I was not using it so I just places it under one of my tables by my trailer.  Looks like from now on I am going to have to leave someone back to watch my stuff while I am on the track.  I am going to post a sign in my pits that says Theives will be either shot or run over by a pitbike. Your choice.  I just wish I could catch someone in the act.  I would run their ass over with my pitbike and have no shame.
