TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XIII
Dan, unlikely either of those things happen this weekend. If I do get to ride, it'll just be to run small errands, Mountains and Foothilss got snowed on again last night. Still a little dangerous up there.
No ****! Wow.
well that just plain sucks Russ. I'm sure that bad boy is gone forever.
Thieves should be killed on the spot.

With all the electronic wizardry I'm sure they have gadgets to spoof all that stuff and make it work.
I saw a story on this a couple of weeks ago. Chev/GMC are particularly susceptible. One guy goes under the truck and operates the hood latch. Guy 2 opens the hood and plugs a module into the ECU. 30 seconds. Drive it off, the passenger is working to disable On-Star.

I found out if you hook a tow truck line on the end of a big cheater bar on the torque multiplier and pull 90 degrees to the Huey, it... pulls the helicopter over, those suckers are tight. It did break loose when the Huey was on one skid, around a 30 degree bank. Quite a racket when the wrench & pipe & hook hit the psp it was parked on (perforated steel plate) and the Huey slammed back down. Wasn't my idea, honest, watched the sergeant in charge do it. To the best of my knowledge, we never lost a bird to maintenance. Pilots got rid of a few for us though.
