LXD75-8"SC Telescope & Equipment Theft Report
Last updated: 31 December 2007
Sometime between 16 December 2007 and 27 December 2007 some
jerk or jerks broke into our Southern California home and stole my LXD75-8"SC and most
of my observing and astrophotography equipment. I drove from Arizona to California to pick up these items on 27 December but discovered them missing when I arrived. Please let me know if you suspect you
have come across any of these items.
Here is a detailed listing of the items taken. All items were in excellent condition.
