Hi everyone!
This post is to rant about the increasing menace of what I can only describe as "scrapper thieves". Let me explain;
My good friend, Ed Bateman provided me with a rebuildable T-137 for my 1947 WDX. As luck would have it the engine that he had was T137-12345! How cool is that! It's even pretty close to being the right year for my truck. Needless to say I was pumped at such a find and off to a machine shop it went for a rebuild. I just went to visit my engine today after an extended period of being out of the country only to be told that my block had been STOLEN! I thought the guy was kidding me until his apprentice walked in and confirmed the story. Turns out they had put the block which had been stripped of everything but its water distribution tube outside while they were soaking it with some kind of solution to help get the tube out. When they came out to take the block inside it was GONE. LOUSY STINKIN' THEIVES have STOLEN something that meant a lot to me for the paltry sum of $0.30 per damn pound! I'm just so damned sick of being FLEECED, CHEATED, EXPLOITED, MISREPRESENTED and now, to top it all RIPPED OFF that I'm ready to pull my hair out! Rant officially ends here although I will be stewing over this for a LONG time. Thanks for letting me vent. No one else but you guys would understand.
