I can identify several of these parts,they have marks that I'll reveal to anyone who emails me in private Does anyone out there think they[the thief] would have the stones to bring these parts to the octo or classic meet in june?

Where are you located? That would help.
Also, I'll keep an eye out, but I'm sure there are already a few people that might be suspects in this theft.
Chop their hands off or force them to live with bamboo chutes shoved under their fingernails permanently.
I hope you get your stuff back.

^^^who got them? Everett can pull the ads from the archive and compare to the stolen ones, but I find it hard to believe that the thief would be dumb enough to try and sell stolen parts here. We will be watching... |

judging by what was taken,there well versed in buses and knew what to take and where to get it 
its horrible if you suspect someone you trust,nos/rare parts for bd's should be obvious to real bus guys and they'l crop up,hope these scumbags get done good and proper!!!

Tcon stated "shortened set of safari windows" meaning post BD frames made to fit BD which is what is shown in his photo.
The Frames that were recently advertised were BD frames. Note the hinges and lack of such in tcon's photo.
I wouldnt suspect the advertiser .
Bummer on the theft. Good luck.

Please spread the word about the robbery.
Everett....any chance we can make this a highlighted ad on the classified home page....I'll pay.
Tim is one of the good guys......although we haven't talked in years his hospitality and enthusiasm will never be forgotten.
