Tools Stolen from GGLS Members

[keyrouteken]

TOOL BOXES STOLEN FROM GGLS MEMBERS: On or about March 10, 2017, person(s) broke into the covered truck bed of our 2015 blue Chevy Silverado pick-up and removed two black and red Craftsman tool boxes along with machined and rough castings for the RRSC CP 173.

These tool boxes were filled with both a large collection of Craftsman tools and specials homemade-in short, all the tools necessary to repair our steam locomotives when in the field. The tool boxes also contained our contact information and boiler certificates from GGLS.

A police report was filled with the South San Francisco Police Department on March 12, 2017. Should anyone contact you attempting to sell the tool boxes or contents, or if seen on Craig’s List or Ebay, please call Michael B. Smith at (415) 558-4536 or the SSF police at (650) 877-8900 and reference police report No. 17-1515.

Thank you in advance.

I feel sorry for you guys that come to these areas from places where you can leave your doors unlocked 24/7...

The real crime here is that these thieves have no clue what they have stolen.... As the economy falters petty theft increases, then grand theft, then the muggings and assaults for your personal effects. This country will never be what it used to be - honor is just a word from the past. I'm sorely saddened over this sort of news. Let's hope and pray for recovery.

It's the age of entitlement. Someone felt entitled to your tools.

All the specialized tools will probably end up in a dumpster because they will have no clue what they are.

Sorry to hear about it. Good luck.
