Proline Theft -- Look out!
Quoted from another forum I am on. Please pass this on to any other automotive forums you may be a part of!
I am posting this here just in case anyone sees any of this stuff for sale anywhere. Some of you may know who Proline is some may not. Proline is located in GA. and that is where Tim Lynch and Steve Petty build some of the baddest turbo hot rods around. They were broken into yesterday and now have a list of what was stolen. This was posted by Eric Dillard (co-owner of Proline) this morning. Keep your eyes open I hate a thief

That much stuff stolen, from a performance shop where the average goon wouldn't know the difference between the junk and the really good stuff?
Inside job. Totally.
I hope they find whoever is responsible. Thieves are the lowest form of life on Earth, next to child molesters and rapists as far as I'm concerned.

When I find out which one is reponsible, the police better get there first.
I really don't want to go to jail. It hurts more when it's people you trust with your goods. Kinda becomes personal.
It's now delayed and what is left is now in a different location.

Several years ago I had the doors stolen off a commercial truck of mine. We were able to figure out who it was, The doors were at a body shop getting ready for stripping and paint, The ferry hight and vehicle length stickers were the clue. The guy who stole them was reaLLY SCARED of a good friend of mine, ( Brian is huge and had the persona to go with it ). Brian went and talked to the guy. No idea what Brian said, he would not tell my the straight of it. The guy was not beaten.
the following day the guy with his friends showed up and replaced the doors. I was hard pressed not to bust out laughing at these clowns.
As tumba said it would suck going to jail for the retribution against a thief.

The question here is how the **** did they get all of that stuff out? If I was an average burglar I sure as hell wouldn't be able to load up 3 crate motors, some engine blocks, not to mention those transmissions. Did they have a U-Haul truck and a crane? Damn.
Must have taken them FOREVER.

You'd be surprised how fast a handful of motivated individuals can work. A truck with a hydraulic liftgate, carts or pallet jacks or something to move the bigger pieces, I bet they were in and out in less than an hour.

In any case, someone on the inside had something to do with this. I'll bet dollars to donuts to it.
