       Deep gap, NC bunch of OPE stolen

       Guy in the chainsaw repair group.   =  Charlie Sauder 2 hrs
       This morning I went to my shop to load equipment in the bed of
       my truck, as I always do on a Tuesday morning. Today when I got
       there I noticed my door had been forced open with a prybar. I
       hadn't been there since Friday ( I do estimates on Mondays). All
       11 of my chainsaws, 2 backpack blowers, and an electric impact
       wrench totalling around 10k had been stolen from my shop over
       the weekend sometime. My shop is located in Deep Gap, NC. They
       were so kind as to leave all my climbing and rigging gear, as
       well as hand tools (nothing stolen you would actually have to
       work with to make money off of). The list of equipment is all
       Stihl brand unless otherwise noted, and is as follows:
       MS 460 CHAINSAW. SERIAL # 172446205
       BR 700 BLOWER. SERIAL# 511996361
       MS 192 CHAINSAW. SERIAL# 296643879
       BR600 BLOWER. SERIAL# 507502349
       MS201T CHAINSAW. SERIAL# 182498221
       MS362 CHAINSAW. SERIAL# 180914414
       MS880 CHAINSAW. SERIAL# 182096460
       MS440 CHAINSAW
       MS261 CHAINSAW
       395XP CHAINSAW (HUSQVARNA, 32" BAR, PARTIALLY CRUSHED MUFFLER)
       MS200T CHAINSAW
       MS362 CHAINSAW (STIHL "LIGHT" 20" BAR)
       026 CHAINSAW
       I am offering $1000 reward no questions asked for the return of
       all equipment, and $150 reward for any info given that results
       in return of equipment or arrest. Maybe that is easier for you
       (thief) than trying to sell all of this to people that don't
       know its value. There has been a police report filed and we have
       footage of vehicles coming in and out of the buildings. Please
       share this everywhere you can, and keep an eye peeled for a saw
       thats being sold too cheap, thats all I ask. There have
       apparently been a slew of break ins in this area. An area I have
       always considered to be safe and full of kind people. This is my
       livelihood that was taken from me, not just a hobby. We all work
       hard for our possessions and money. This has to stop. For my
       huge network of tree workers on social media: this equipment
       could be anywhere, please let me know if you find any suspicious
       or overly cheap postings in your area. I know this hits home for
       a lot of hard workers out there. Thank you.

       *****UPDATE***** Last night I received a call from Watauga
       Deputy Will Watson that 10/11 of my saws had been found, and 1/2
       of my blowers! I was absolutely ecstatic. They were found in
       Lenoir based on a lead I received because of all of the facebook
       activity and shares! Thank you all so much, the overwhelming
       amount of shares, prayers, and thoughts I received truly
       restored my faith in people. I cannot express my gratitude in
       everyone that shared and commented, the kind person that
       contacted me with the lead, everyone who offered saws for me to
       use in the meantime, Farmers Rentals for being unbelievably
       helpful, and the Watauga and Caldwell Sherriffs departments.
       Specifically Deputy Watson going above and beyond the call,
       staying late, and quite literally driving the extra mile to make
       this happen. Wow. I am beyond thankful. I have taken steps to
       assure this cannot happen again, AND THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES ARE
       BEING CHARGED ACCORDINGLY. I am still missing the HUSQVARNA
       395XP, BR600 BLOWER, AND SNAP ON 1/2" IMPACT WRENCH that I did
       not mention. Keep an eye out for those 3 things, probably around
       Lenoir, and contact me or Deputy Watson if found. I got so much
       more back than I ever could have hoped, and so much support from
       the entire community. Again, thank you all. ****END OF
       UPDATE****
