Wasn't sure where to post this so I tried here.
I hesitate to post this because it's not my stuff so I won't post particulars. My neighbor is not always at home, in fact seldom is. It's not a primary home. He lost the house in a brush fire nearly a year ago, but still had lots of equipment in the barn.
Two days ago I noticed a door half open, so I got in touch with him and no one was supposed to be there, so I went up to take a look. His 40hp Kubota, and 2018 Polaris Razor are gone with lots of evidence that is was stolen.
They had come in the night before apparently with a flatbed and loaded them up and hauled them off. That's around $60K worth of equipment. The Polaris had about 2hrs on it.
Now keep in mind this is NOT a place visible from the road, nor easy to get to, and no one would know what was in the barn unless they had been there before as a worker etc.
This property sits behind heavy iron gates that are on automatic controls, that the thieves bypassed (won't say how).
Sheriff's fingerprinted so hopefully will gain some ground there.
They also told us they busted a gang of illegals from Guatemala some months back that were from Bakersfield, and operating in our county (very rural and farm/ranch oriented) but were caught in LA. These guys were pure pro's at what they did. Now there is a new gang operating out of LA. I won't get political, but I hope a certain southern building project gets done REAL soon.
Guys take down your serial numbers, pictures, and add a security system, with cameras that cannot be easily reached. My poor neighbor has had some real bad times here, and he's rethinking "country life". Sadly.
