Everyone keep a sharp eye on Craigslist for that area. Also all hobby shops within 100 miles of where trailer was found need to be alerted that people may come in looking to sell boats quickly for pennies on the dollar. When Paul Stirton's trailer got broken into a couple of his boats showed up at a hobby shop and a customer recognized them.

Guys,

If someone coukd post a clear pic of all of Ken's boats, that would help everyone keep an eye out for them.

 

[James Schmidt]

Man this sucks, all of us in the Saginaw Mi area will keep an eye out. Ken if you have individual pics of each boat, please post them. We will try our best to help.

Did the local PD contact this Terry Calkins that had the picture of the boats on FB?

A Facebook link to boat pics on Ken's page added to original post

Too late now but install a GPS Homing device in your trailers hidden. Drag racers have been doing this for awhile now. Hope you get some of the boats back fingers crossed.

 

[T.S.Davis]

My musician friend recommended adding a few of these to the the boats. Not every piece of equipment but if you had these scattered about your fleet you would have a shot at least.

Great News......last Sunday we recovered 18 of the 21 stolen RC boats

With the help of so many people, Jason Sims and I drove non-stop to Michigan and met with some guys who came forward with the boats and some of the other RC gear.....(They were not the thieves) Sorry for the delayed announcement, but we are still hopeful to recover the remaining 3 boats and possible other gear. Really can not disclose many of the details, please understand & appreciate that I can't give any more information for now, but just know how happy Fede and I are to have these boats back at home in the trailer that had also been recovered 5 days after that terrible day at the Embassy Suites. So many thanks to everyone's help, generosity, & sympathetic ears for these trying last 8 weeks.......Yes I actually have my smile back !!! Now Fede and I can start planning next year's racing

This certainly seems like some kind of miracle....The turn around in our misfortunes definetely proves there are many good people in the Detroit metro and Michigan area. Thanks again to everyone.

[Darin Jordan]

Fantastic news, Ken!

 

[BrianNeumann]

Awesome! Im from metro Detroit and have been watching Craigslist for any suspicious boats. This incident really made me mad. I feel a little better now.

 

[Ken Haines]

Thanks for the words of encouragement through this whole ordeal.

It meant a lot hearing from everyone here and elsewhere.

Still missing a few boats and a bunch of equipment, but I realize I am very lucky

to have gotten back the 18 boats, some of the RC gear and even the trailer.

I think there is a good foundation now to get back to racing again....at least starting

next spring.

I will post the 3 missing boats soon, but just wanted to thank all of you for

the terrific support.

Ken & Fede

Btw....the picture was taken moments after the return of the boats !!
