Fellow racer burglarized....
I saw this on another site, I figured that I would cross-post it here just in case:
------------
Shawn Gann, shop was burglarized while he was competing in the NHRA race in Florida. Blake Gann (Shawn's Father) the shop owner is offering a reward to anyone who can give information to the recovery and prosecution of the thieves.
They vandals took multiple Suzuki GSXR motorcycles, 11000, 1000's etc, customer motorcycles, Shawn's outlaw bike and the Oakley pro-stock bike Shawn rode last year. They also took two complete sets of MAC hand tools. Please help Shawn is an independent racer who cannot afford this loss. If you have any information please email me or call (810) 750-1279 home, (248) 486-9613 Work.
This is very important that all of the bikes and parts be found. They do not have insurance to cover this. Please tell everyone you know and if you see any strange new motorcycles or parts and your local track please let me know. Shawn and Blake's shop is located in Stoneville NC near the Virginia border. But these parts could be anywhere in the US.
Please Help! If you just want to give information and not you name please do!" - Paul Powell, L/S Racer

Ah, what is it with these racing organizations that can provide adequate security for contestants?
You can look at type of racing and see how much $$$ is invested in these hobbies.
Why cant they hire decent security?

Back in 97 my race trailer was broken into and robbed. They took my bike, tools, spares, riding gear etc. The amazing thing bout the whole thing was the reality of the cost of my loss. When I sat down and made an itemized list of the tools, gear, spare parts etc. it was amazing to realize how much money I had in the trailer not including the bike.
It took about 2 months of work with Farmers Insurance but ultimately in the end they were fair and paid exactly to the penny what I lost. In tools, gear and spare parts alone they paid me just over $30,000.00. And then they paid me for for bike. I got ripped on the bike as they only paid the value of a stock bike and not for the mods. I knew that would be the case and therefore no shock. What I learned out of all of this is to keep a list, take pictures and frankly I send pictures and an updated list to my agent every year.
Also I lerned that you need to really talk to your insurance agrnt to make sure you re covered.
Thought I'd share the info.
