A brand new Orange Eden 4, size 28.

Wing stolen in southeastern Connecticut.

Send whatever leads you have to the reporter but DO NOT try to take this wing away from anyone or try to investigate on your own. We have solid leads that the people involved are very dangerous. Be careful.

If the theifs start it they could be hurt since the cage is not with it.
 
01/16/2007, Rio Puerco near Albuquerque, NM

Two Paratour RDM 100 SD Machines.

The blue unit had a serial number stamped on the motor crankcase--80802, it did not have a seat and harness when stolen. It is a used motor and looks it. 

The black unit -- serial number on the crankcase is 0044, had a seat and harness. The unit is also used and shows its use and abuse. Both units have been "busted" several times and the cages have prop strikes. Don't send flowers; I'll get through this.

PS They left my wing and a prop that were near the units. I don't think these people know what they have, so watch for accident report
