Burglaries are on the rise here in the Minneapolis area. Just to give you an idea, there have been three wedding gift boxes stolen by thieves during weddings. It seems people just don't seem to care about others and want to spoil their day. There was over $25,500 stolen from our hanger just 2 years ago. The 912 engine and avionics were taken off my Kolb Kolbra one night. Let's get the word out that this kind of activity is unacceptable and keep an eye out for people doing this to our aircraft. If we keep watching, this kind of thing will stop.
