    Default Trailer Break-in near Cincinnati, Ohio

    The Continental Motorsport Services race trailer has been broken into TWICE in the last week. They got in by prying open the side door. On the first break in, they took our pit toolbox full of tools. The second break in, they took our LongAcre scales, LA digital pyrometer, case of Redline 30W Race oil, case of Redline 40W Race oil, helmet toolbox (with tools to install radios and HANS anchors), Makita cordless Drill, battery charger, battery jump starter, torque wrench, and other things that we haven't thought of yet. The door is beyond repair.

    Based upon what was taken, I think that they are car people. Among all of the good people, there is always a bad apple in the orchard.

    If you hear of anyone who recently "acquired" these or similar items, please contact Jim Morsch at 513.459.8888 or 888.459.4588.

    Please share this information with the car people you know.

    Given the equipment that we are missing, our driver, Steve Jenks, will probably miss at least one race.

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I had the opportunity to meet Jim and Steve at PIR. Both very good people. Being an Ohio resident I will keep an eye out on Craiglist, Ebay, etc. I hope someone will come forward.

    I hope a fellow racer catches the thieves before the cops do.

    Stealing from anyone, even more so someone who is simply nice people, who do lots to help racers out is just plain nasty and deserves appropriate treatment.

    Thanks everyone for your kind words and keeping your eyes open. Add a LongAcre Impact Wrench double battery and a Braided Hose Cutter to this list. I"m sure that there will be more items we find missing.

    Ugh, sorry to hear.

    Start searching craigslist and see what turns up... Might want to reach out to Steve Colletti up around here and let him know in case someone tries to sell something to their shop.

    If you need anything around Dayton checked out, or knee caps broken, let me know.

    That really stinks, people suck.

    Maybe run a wanted ad on craigslist for one or two items on the list of things stolen. Unlikely these morons would respond but who knows, what are they really going to do with the scales?? Hope you catch them!
