:'( i hate thieves with a passion, scum won't work & take from those that do. if caught the courts are usually leniant on them, which is no deterrant. bring back the lash.. 8-)

OK stop looking everyone. I put a reward ad in the Mossman paper and the guy who found them called me today. Managed to get all four rigs back home safe and well.

yeah the bloke initially declined to accept any money, and seemed decent enough. Obviously he should have taken them to the Cop Shop but I didn't hassle him about that, I was just glad to get them back. Beats paying $3500 to replace them.

cheers,

steve
