Hi Everyone,
Equipment (Leica TS12) was stolen yesterday, Tuesday, May 10th at approximately 10:30am, corner of W 67 Avenue and French Street, Vancouver, just east of Granville Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The following equipment was stolen Friday, May 6th at approximately 3:30pm in Richmond, BC, Canada: TCR403 Ultra (S/N 252433), Leica DNA3 Digital Level (S/N 334058).
Yet, another incident took place earlier in Surrey, BC, Canada. Total of three incidents with very similar circumstances in short period of time.
Please contact Evgeny Petushkov, P.Eng, BCLS at 604-816-4292 if you have any information.
That's a real PITA, sorry to hear about it. My first suspicion would be an inside job, or someone casing your crews.
All three incidents happen to different survey companies. But you are right in that it seems like it is people with knowledge of survey tools and their value.
Time to put out a bait survey setup and hide in the bushes and let swat take em down............
The equipment was possibly stolen to order.
