    Default Rotax 582 Bluetop stolen

    Hi Guys! We had a enclosed trailer with a Buckeyed Powered Parachute inside it stolen. They cut the trailer lock and took the enclosed trailer. If anyone is purchasing a 582 send me a PM and I will verify the serial number is not stolen. Thinking they will part out the engine and sell it?

    Policed recovered stolen trailer! An informant heard about someone bragging about a trailer they stole with a "parachute airplane" in it. Police followed the lead and found our stolen trailer. Crossing fingers it wasn't damaged.

    I despise thieves. So do my German Shepherd dogs...

    Hope you get your property back in good shape.

    Well we got the trailer back. Jack is broken off and axle is bent. Everything else seems to be okay. Looks like he took out the parachute and couldn’t figure out how to put it back. I guess they found lot of trailers and stolen goods. I am sure he will be back on the street in a couple months.

    That's pretty good Dustin. If it had been in CA the thief would have been released hours after being caught. In fact, here they are caught two maybe three times in one day!
