Sorry to hear, Bad News! You also need to post on oldgas.com as there are a lot of gas and oil collectors in IL. Pictures of the two machines would be a big help as well.

Sorry to hear about this Rod, It really sucks as I found out this weekend with my own storage issue. I'll keep an eye out in NE Ohio and western PA.
I hate thieves, they have to be one of the lowest life forms there is.  darn

Sorry about your loss.  That's so frustrating.  It almost sounds like it could be someone you know (or knows you) since they seemed to know 1). where your storage unit was located and 2). an idea of what they were taking.  Did the tire tracks indicate they had a trailer?  Was the slider a 35 or 55?  I don't think the machines or parts will make it to Texas, but I'll keep an eye out on my Craigslist locations.

I agree. Theifs and burglars are not worth called human beings censored

I hope the machines will return and/or the theifs realize that the best to do is to leave them back.

I looked and could not find where I took pictures of these machines. In the future I am going to take a picture of every machine right after I buy it. I appreciate everyone keeping an eye out for these two machines.

        I remember hearing about a theft several years ago.

       A group of buyers from overseas had a semi trailer parked at the Chicagoland show, and on the last night someone hooked up to the entire trailer and it disappeared.

       Does anyone here remember this, and more importantly........were any machines ever recovered or even the empty trailer?
