| Deep gap, NC bunch of OPE stolen | |

| Guy in the chainsaw repair group. = Charlie Sauder 2 hrs | |
| This morning I went to my shop to load equipment in the bed of | |
| my truck, as I always do on a Tuesday morning. Today when I got | |
| there I noticed my door had been forced open with a prybar. I | |
| hadn't been there since Friday ( I do estimates on Mondays). All | |
| 11 of my chainsaws, 2 backpack blowers, and an electric impact | |
| wrench totalling around 10k had been stolen from my shop over | |
| the weekend sometime. My shop is located in Deep Gap, NC. They | |
| were so kind as to leave all my climbing and rigging gear, as | |
| well as hand tools (nothing stolen you would actually have to | |
| work with to make money off of). The list of equipment is all | |
| Stihl brand unless otherwise noted, and is as follows: | |
| MS 460 CHAINSAW. SERIAL # 172446205 | |
| BR 700 BLOWER. SERIAL# 511996361 | |
| MS 192 CHAINSAW. SERIAL# 296643879 | |
| BR600 BLOWER. SERIAL# 507502349 | |
| MS201T CHAINSAW. SERIAL# 182498221 | |
| MS362 CHAINSAW. SERIAL# 180914414 | |
| MS880 CHAINSAW. SERIAL# 182096460 | |
| MS440 CHAINSAW | |
| MS261 CHAINSAW | |
| 395XP CHAINSAW (HUSQVARNA, 32" BAR, PARTIALLY CRUSHED MUFFLER) | |
| MS200T CHAINSAW | |
| MS362 CHAINSAW (STIHL "LIGHT" 20" BAR) | |
| 026 CHAINSAW | |
| I am offering $1000 reward no questions asked for the return of | |
| all equipment, and $150 reward for any info given that results | |
| in return of equipment or arrest. Maybe that is easier for you | |
| (thief) than trying to sell all of this to people that don't | |
| know its value. There has been a police report filed and we have | |
| footage of vehicles coming in and out of the buildings. Please | |
| share this everywhere you can, and keep an eye peeled for a saw | |
| thats being sold too cheap, thats all I ask. There have | |
| apparently been a slew of break ins in this area. An area I have | |
| always considered to be safe and full of kind people. This is my | |
| livelihood that was taken from me, not just a hobby. We all work | |
| hard for our possessions and money. This has to stop. For my | |
| huge network of tree workers on social media: this equipment | |
| could be anywhere, please let me know if you find any suspicious | |
| or overly cheap postings in your area. I know this hits home for | |
| a lot of hard workers out there. Thank you. | |

| *****UPDATE***** Last night I received a call from Watauga | |
| Deputy Will Watson that 10/11 of my saws had been found, and 1/2 | |
| of my blowers! I was absolutely ecstatic. They were found in | |
| Lenoir based on a lead I received because of all of the facebook | |
| activity and shares! Thank you all so much, the overwhelming | |
| amount of shares, prayers, and thoughts I received truly | |
| restored my faith in people. I cannot express my gratitude in | |
| everyone that shared and commented, the kind person that | |
| contacted me with the lead, everyone who offered saws for me to | |
| use in the meantime, Farmers Rentals for being unbelievably | |
| helpful, and the Watauga and Caldwell Sherriffs departments. | |
| Specifically Deputy Watson going above and beyond the call, | |
| staying late, and quite literally driving the extra mile to make | |
| this happen. Wow. I am beyond thankful. I have taken steps to | |
| assure this cannot happen again, AND THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES ARE | |
| BEING CHARGED ACCORDINGLY. I am still missing the HUSQVARNA | |
| 395XP, BR600 BLOWER, AND SNAP ON 1/2" IMPACT WRENCH that I did | |
| not mention. Keep an eye out for those 3 things, probably around | |
| Lenoir, and contact me or Deputy Watson if found. I got so much | |
| more back than I ever could have hoped, and so much support from | |
| the entire community. Again, thank you all. ****END OF | |
