I got hit almost three years ago now and I am still PO'd and keeping my eye out for that thing.

I think what they do is come one night cut the cables and loosen the bolts. Then they come back another night and just grab-n-go!

Through some research I have heard that what happens to the motors is they end up in Alaska. Those guys go through motors pretty fast. It's a hell of a lot cheaper for them to buy some used 'hot' motor for $500 have it last 6mo then to spend $2 to $5k every year or two...????
