Garage Done Over (SL6 - Berkshire)

[rxe]

Not a great first post, but here goes. Last week a bunch of scrotes broke into my garage and cleaned out quite a lot of the decent stuff. I'll list it below, just in case anyone is offered it. If anyone is living in the SL6 area - be warned, there is an absolute crimewave going on. Loads of people have been done, all after garden machinery, horse trailers and the like.

 

So, what did I lose:

 

Stihl MS880, 25" bar - very good condition, light use only. Nothing to really identify it, apart from the fact that 880s are pretty rare.

 

Stihl 046, 18" bar - good used condition. It was running an 8 pin sprocket, which is non standard

 

Stihl 024, 15" bar - good used

 

Stihl HS81R-30 hedgecutter - good used

 

Stihl TS400 cutoff saw - well used, pretty scratched up

 

And most annoyingly, my milling 070 AV. Not a great looker, but totally rebuilt by me. It had a 3/8" Cannon Superbar at 28" long, which should make it pretty unique in the UK (getting a 3/8 bar in Stihl "large" mount was hard...). It was also set up with milling chain, which combined with the lack of a chain brake, may make it rather a challenge for the unsuspecting idiot they sell it to. I've attached a pic from the last milling expedition.

 

I'm keeping an eye on ebay (the 070 and 880 will be pretty obvious), can anyone think where else I should be looking? I'm not so upset about the modern stuff: insurance + cash will fix that. The 070 really makes me mad - mainly because they'll probably chuck it it out as unsaleable.

 

Off topic, they also got a 5kW generator and 2" trash pump, both of which were very new.

 

Thanks for looking, and lock your stuff down....

welcome to he forum...sorry to hear about this....and sorry it had to be your first post!

Like an idiot, I haven't noted the serial numbers. The dealer that sold me the 880 and HS81 is still in business and might have recorded them - the others were bought from a dealer long since gone.

 

Yes, before you ask, I've spent a frantic weekend noting down the serial numbers of every bit of kit that I have left!
