We are a tree service and had our bucket truck broken into. They broke the padlock and stole 5 EXPENSIVE chainsaws. I'm looking for your help. Word of mouth travels fast and if you come across someone selling chainsaws please help us. We will give you a cash reward for the return of them $1000. This took place in Vernon CT. The truck was parked at a customers house. These are the items stolen.

Keep an eye out if you are anywhere near Connecticut or Mass, I know I'm going to.:msp_sad:

I'm going to call Kyle and see if I can't get a more detailed description of the saws...

I just got off the phone with Kyle and two of the saws have unique markings on them:
The MS200T has an old syle 020T starter on it and has "Elvis Lives":msp_tongue: inscribed on the filter cover, I know this saw well.
The other saw I'm familiar with is an old school silver tag Stihl 044 with a "Magnum" decal on the top cover and a newer Windsor Speed Tip bar.
I'm always scanning CL or swap meets so I'll be keepin' an eye out for them. :Eye:v:Eye:

Yes the Stafford swap meet is comin' up in a few weeks, I'll be looking for his saws there for sure. I don't know what I could do about it even if I do see them? I know there will be cops there, but I wonder if even they could do anything?:msp_confused:

Hmmm, Have I ever met you before, besides here?:msp_unsure:

You're not one of those 2 dudes last year I saw pounding on trailer and truck doors at 6AM sayin' "You got any saws in there!"? lol...:msp_tongue:

I have not met you. And I'm definitely not one of those #######s doing that. I have seen them many times though.

Sucks to have stuff stolen!

They have insurance? Good chance to get into some XP saws.

If the saws have been reported stolen and serial numbers were given then that should be in the report, accessible from any officer's computer.

my dads work truck was stolen and found at a crackhouse in mo.

How do you manage to get all 5 saws stolen at once, what else did they take?

Where were the saws when they were stolen?

Serial numbers and a police report.

 

[JHctRednek]

Sucks to hear about the stolen saws. I will keep an eye out down here in the south east corner. I usually go to the zagaray farms swap in may out in colchester, the pawn shops down here usually don't have saws but I'll be on the look out during my usual rounds.

Keep us updated.

Worth a try?

SkippyKTM if you want to send me a list of serial numbers I would be happy to put an add out on CL or BP looking for "a large saw, prefer MS660 or similar", and see if one or both show up.

As you well know, moving a big saw, is much more difficult than selling a 50 cc on CL as the market is limited so the perp probably isn't going sell them quickly unless they go cheap.

I can also get the list of serial numbers to Beaver Brook Saw Shop in case someone comes in looking to sell or trade. I know the owner and his NE Stihl Rep very well, I'm sure he would get the serial numbers sent out to any local Stihl dealers for them to check.

Wish him the best let me know what if anything I can do.

Take Care

Glad that you asked, that would be a great help! I just got the numbers for the 2 newer MS660's they are both only a few months old. The serial numbers are 173568366 and 171279438. The numbers for the 3 other older saws unfortunately he doesn't have.

Serial numbers and a police report.

Yep, and I wonder what a Jonsered 2121 is - likely a misprint for 2171?
