Stolen radio alert. VHF Astro Saber III

[ElroyJetson]

I had a VHF Astro Saber III stolen from me at the Melbourne, FL hamfest of October 21st and 22nd, 2016.

I had four swap tables both days and some time between the late afternoon on the first day (Friday) and mid-morning on the second day, (Saturday) I discovered that I was no longer able to locate that radio. And I definitely did not sell it.

It's a fully featured VHF ASIII, Serial number is 310AXL0471.
Flashcode is 599108-1C5E00-1.

There IS a known suspect. A person known to be, in some circles, a one-man crime spree.
I will not reveal information on him in a public forum.

There's a reward for its return.

Hope you get him.

Cancel the alert, the radio has been located. It was not stolen, it was misplaced while at my swap table, and ended up in a bin of radios that I sold off really cheap. That was my mistake. I found the guy who bought all those radios from me and asked him to look for the one in question. He found it and it will
be returned to me.

I will be paying him the reward. It's only right to do so.

Crap we almost got a confession out of him. All those hours of trying to persuade him went to waste. Good to know someone who bought radios from you found it. Still hope in humanity.
