Scrap Ram/Memory Theft

We had a theft from our shop last week. Someone made off with 50+ pounds of ram that was in 2 mail tubs. If any yards in the tri-state area get in a large amount of ram from their door trade please let me know.
Some hard drive logic boards of unknown quantity off of fiber channel drives were also taken.

hmmmm sry about your theft, something tells me you won't have to worry about too many forum members in the future. not this one for sure.

What do you mean by this?

I think what's being said is you won't get much biz from the forum????.........Not sure but that's the way I read it....Sorry for your loss you might wanna lock your stuff up better

This material was stolen during the business day. Not when we were closed. It had recently come in and was going to be moved to our secure off site warehouse. We will be installing cameras shortly.

It means just what it said . You just insulted the entire forum and all its members by implication unless, you have some reasion for suspecting a forum member. any and all people who even mention the thought os theft or even lean toward crooked or shady deals are imidiatly ostracised from this forum and imidiately ban for life. after FARTHER investigation, you find it WAS a forum member we will back you 100% but, to implicate a forum member out of the blue is an insult to us all. just my .02

Any theft from any of us is a loss and I would hate to see that happen to any of us. He's edited his post now, but it originally was saying it could be a forum member who may be familiar with the shop. It was just the way it was worded that would offend many.

Sometimes we have to be careful of the way we word things, same as we have to be careful the way we talk to people in person. Saying something the wrong way could cost you business. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, just came out wrong??????????????????????????

thank you Chris for editing your post, if you find it was a forum member let us know. like I said I for one will back you 199%.

Something like this is almost impossible to trace.......Unless you recorded the serial numbers of each stick of memory this one might as well be chalked up as a loss..........Just because I have 50lbs of memory does that make me a suspect..........I wish you luck just playing devils advocate

Mike almost all of the memory in the lot was of a specific type and some was marked by us.

I hope that you catch the SOB that stole that. I hate a liar, and i hate a thief.

Oh, and i didn't take it the wrong way. I totally understood what you meant. Reckon if i woulda seen it before the edit id know what everyone is hollering about haha. Internet, it's scarey. You say something, someone takes it the wrong way, people get all butthurt and BAM, big ole poop fest.

Thanks for understanding it the way it was meant to. We have had tons of positive face to face interactions with members of the forum. I posted here at the suggestion of the local authorities.

Hopefully it will turn up......You've done all you can do it looks like

Sorry for your theft. Now let me point out a theft your doing as we speak. You pointed out that you had the ram in 2 "USPS" tubs? Those tubs correct me if im wrong state property of USPS. Using those tubs for anything other than mail is theft. Not comming down on you just wanted to make you aware and everyone else on this matter. THe tubs are considered federal property and misuse can land you 3 years in jail and $1000 fine. Here is a news story on it. Illegal use of postal tubs costs $50M a year, could bring jail - WSMV Channel 4
