I'm pretty sure some kid yanked the thing out of my survey chariot (or it was leaning against it) in Radford, VA yesterday. I was measuring the house I'm doing and was talking politely with the neighbors and such and didn't really notice that anybody was near the vehicle. I was out of sight of it, but that is typical. Nice suburban neighborhood too.... Rats... They didn't bother the cool stuff either, like my robot, data collector, checkbook or money I had fairly visible...

Anybody got a cheap old Schonstedt they are willing to part with? Email in profile is good.

Carl

Retrace your steps. Someone is always stealing my stuff and then returns it
where I least expect it.

I've done that twice. Clients did too. And neighbors. GONE. I'm usually really good with stuff, especially my own stuff... Dagnabbit.

??Found my yellow box. Old man had it and didn't look at the phone number. I think he was half guarding it and half teaching me a lesson. He moved it, but at least I got it back. I didn't even stress about it last night...

That'll learn me.

Just the box? What about the locator?

Sorry, that's what I was actually implying. I found the Schonstedt.

Good news.

If you want old/cheap/Schonstadt, you can only have two of the three.

I forgot the rules... thanks!

I'm just glad the neighbor had it.

Okay, I'll take a cheap Schonstadt. It can be new I guess; just so it works well.
