I had some radio equipment stolen out of my car last week. I belive it was either my neighbor (who also stole my cell phone 2 weeks ago) or my other neighbor/somewhat friend who is always asking about my radios and wants to borrow them. The radios stolen were:
*Pro-96 Radio Shack Digital scanner.
This was modded for Blue display LED's and has my name, call sign and phone # shown on the power-up display. It is unable to erase this without special software.
* Yaesu VX-5 handheld dual band ham radio. This has my call sign programed in the CW ID section. It is in pretty beat up condition, and only charges with the drop-in charger. 440 TX doesnt work either.
* Cobra 45WX Cb handheld. It is opened up for 120 channels and it shows the freq on the disply. It has a small solder pencil burn on the left side, near the channel buttons.
I live in Sterling Heights. I made a police repeort, but I was told that they wont investigate either neighbor since I didnt actualy "see" them take them from my car. They were the only 2 people who were near my car during the 5 min I was inside my house when my car was unlocked. The police also said that even If I saw them with my radios, they still probably couldnt prove it was them, and its doubtfull that they would do anything, besides I could try to take them to court. Even though my name, callsign, phone # etc are all programed in them, they say they wont be able to do much.
I will offer a reward if anyone comes across these. I belive if it was my one neighbor (16yo girl that also stole my cell phone) she has most likely sold/traded/pawned it off for her drug habbit.
Please email me if anyone has any info. kc8grq * yahoo * com
