Ha! I'd enjoy a demonstration of the fuel holding capabilities of those bladders after having sat dry for four years. Fuel Bladders? How are the avionics (or lack thereof)? But the seller doesn't claim that the avionics are "in great shape." I've flown without avionics for years. Flying with cracked fuel bladders would be much different. I doubt, however, that anyone is likely to be dumb enough (like me) to try strapping two new engines on this plane. It's parts. Like another poster said: $2k is all it's worth. There are eight days to go. I suspect it's worth more. --kyler |

Wonder if the person had insurance?

The engines/props were stolen off a twin that had been sitting for 4 years (the auction of the plane is on Ebay). Just wondering if the serial numbers are in a FAA or maintenance database somewhere and could be traced as to where they are now. Any other ideas how to find them? If they were shipped out overseas, would there also be a record? Thanks. Monty So I guess nobody knows a way to trace stolen engines. I suppose if the owner gets a tip he can always check their engine serial number in person, but that's about it. Is the FBO or airport liable for vandalism or theft from aircraft which are paying to base at their tiedowns? |

From the looks of the panel, the thieves got a lot more than just the
engines. -- Jim Carter "MontyJ" wrote in message om... Stu Gotts wrote in message . .. And that's about what it's worth right now.

Have you ever noticed many of the things that sell on Ebay can be purchased new for less money? They can be stolen for even less. Does it matter? I use "worth" to mean "what someone's willing to pay." E-bay is a fairly good tool for determining that. Your valuation of the object has minimal impact on the rest of us. --kyler |

Nobody seems to mention that side of the coin very often. |
