SCARS member Chris Probett experienced a home break-in involving the loss of valuable property that included items of sentimental and personal value to his entire family. Here are images (in a pop-up window) of some Abbotwares radios taken from his home. It is hoped that someone will recognize one or more of them, and that it will result in the location of the person(s) responsible, and the possible return of what was taken.
Thanks,
Jim Ryan
SCARS President
