10ER 78476 - stolen and recovered by police

[curmudgeon]

Hi,

The Victoria Police (British Columbia, Canada) has recovered a stolen 10ER, serial number 78476. They're looking for the owner.

Anyone who recognizes this tool is being asked to call the Victoria Police non-emergency line at (250) 995-7654 and select option 1 for the report desk.

See article on CHEK News.

Thanks,
-Steve

Thanks for posting this, I had missed it.

Not that far from me (25 min) but thankfully not one of mine.

No casters, and the perps were trying to tow it behind a bicycle .
They definite weren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

This raises the question, when you steal a 10-ER are you charged with one count or five counts?

I have to wonder if the bicycle was stolen too.

Looks like the owner was not found.

It's now listed for sale on the Provincial surplus auction site:
