the thing is i wouldn't doubt that they stole it for scrap. but the i think the ones took it are a couple of illeagles that are always driving around in a flatbead dully asking everyone if they have scrap metal that they can have. the resone i think it is them is because they have a history of taking things from peoples yards and even vacant houses and they are always in the neighbor hood.

I use to have a GM 12-bolt.  When I was still in college I drove all the way to Chicago to get it.  I say 'use to'.  Came home one day and somebody had taken it.  I HATE a thief.  My guess is they took it to use (not scrap)  as they left the 7.9" S-10 axle that was sitting next to it.  I hate to think some a-hole is out there driving around with my 12-bolt under their car.

Also had someone rip the Sun Tune II tach out of my Nova.  They didn't even cut the wires, they grabbed and pulled and broke the fill panel that goes under the steering column.  Grr that makes me angry.

Sorry someone dragged off your engine.  If it just happened, you might stop by a few of the local recycling yards.  You might see it sitting right there in the pile.
I am what Willis was talking about.

i wish i was that much closer to it but i'm on the other side of the highway so i'm still a few miles away from it but i am closer to the race track also so that makes it better. you know we need to do another run to that yard sometime.
