I was excited to see a new Polaris dealer near by, in Austin, Texas. They originaly only carried tractors and Polaris Rangers, and now built a new store off a major highway and had a great setup and picked up the Polaris ATV & PWC line. Not only did they have a great store setup and lots of parts & quads in, but they were closer than the other Polaris dealer which is just horrible in many ways. They also had great customer service.

Last weekend we had a storm. Apparently, during the storm, someone broke in and stole 5 Sportsman 500's still in crate, and also stole the truck they used to transport crates, equitment, etc.

They theifs had good taste, 4 of the 5 stolen are really hard to get, espeically around here where everybody wants the more-rare editions. They stole:

(2) Polaris Sportsman 500 Ducks Unlimited
(1) Polaris Sportsman 500 Remington Edition
(1) Polaris Sportsman 500 Yellow
(1) Polaris Sportsman 500 Green
(1) Truck, not sure what it was

I don't know how much insurance will/won't cover. I guess good things don't always happen to good people.

you know i seem to recall the same thing happing here a few months back, all i cam remember is that they broke into a polaris dealer and they took a uhaul truck and they loaded 4 or 5 quads and took off, and as far as i can rememeber they never caught the guys,i also was told that this isnt the first time this happened, the only reason i know about this is that they cut the phone lines to diable the alarm system, and i work for the phone compiany

The dealer has insurance. This should act as a reminder that we need insurance on our quads.

First of all, it could be that these guys aren't really thieves,but instead work for some quality control agency and are sparing the consumer, from having to own a Polaris. It could also be, that these guys really are thieves and after realizing what pieces of **** they stoled,will return these quads and vow to never steal another Polaris again.

The detectives that came out said that they were professionals. They easily hot wired the loader to move the quads on top of the truck, but the truck they stole has some anti-hot-wire system or somthing that according to the detectives, very few people can hot-wire. They also all wore gloves and they could find no prints.

But in the end, I think Sledder is right. I'll give you the dealer's phone # so can you share your motive with them. Then they can pass that on to the detectives. You never know, you could be the hero here!

This is to Sledders parents, please do not let him use the computer anymore he has been bad and does not play well with others. Although you might try to get an educational program to help with his spelling.

Sincerely Yours
Mr. MEDSKER

Speaking of educational programs, learn some sentence structure!
