Stolen Coke Machine

[Funtronics]

I need some help. I store my soda machines that need restored in a old storage unit on our property that is 30 miles from my house. It is an old building that we don't use anymore, but still good enough to store my machines in and lock up. Well over the weekend someone broke in and stole several machines from me. One of them was a Coke VMC 27 on an enclosed stand and the other was a blank Ideal slider that was white and was complete. I would like to ask everyone on this site that if you see any of these machines listed somewhere or someone tries and sell you these machines please let me know. I had other machines in the building, but they knew what they were taking. I am located in central Illinois. Any help on this would be great. 
Thanks

Have you got any pictures of the machines so that when one pops of those models pops up for sale, we can look at the marks on the machine if they are yours.

That sucks Rod...we'll be keeping an eye out for sure..

Glad that's all the got...

         Bummer!

         Whoever broke in was not a collector risking jail so they will be for sale, and probably outside your area so SMC is a good place to post.

         Also, they chose to steal 2 machines that are probably worth more in parts than complete.

         So if someone is selling a slider rack AND a 27/33 drum, it should also raise some suspicion.

         We'll be on the lookout Rod.

Hopefully they are recovered!  All it take is a lurking guest/ thief  to read this though. Should this be moved to an area that requires at least 100 posts? Or the Soda Jerks section?

Sorry Rod!

Sorry Rod!

It's probally someone local and won't be on this sight or know about this sight. They will more than likely sale it on Craigslist, auction, or other sights. They left good tire tracks and the sheriff is taking finger prints.

I am in the New York area, if they pop up this far away I will let you know

Sorry to hear that Rod.
I hope they are caught.

We have a Great Group of people on this site, and from what I have seen so far, The people on this site ever seem to "Miss" a machine for sale or parts on Craiglist or Ebay.
We find them all.

Unfortunately, Sometimes with break ins, it is people you know, or have done business with..... Try to think back if you ever had people in your storage building showing them a machine for sale, that seemed shady...
I am sure you are already thinking hard.... Hope they turn up.
