Stolen Winch

[xtrm4x4wanab]

Working at harbor freight has its perks. i got a defective winch for practicly nothing and repaired it so it worked perfectly fine(pulled me out at redird last month and uwharrie 2 weeks ago). so tonight i went to an Evansville Otters baseball game and the winch was there when i left. i come out and its gone. someone cut the power and ground wires clean off at the solenoid and left them hanging. i had the doors off and they left the stereo, the head unit, the swampers, tools, and everything else, but took the winch. i know i paid near to nothing for it, but it still burns my chops that someone would steal something bolted so well to the front bumper of my jeep!:flamemad: i guess im asking you guys to keep an eye out for a winch without a fairlead or mounting channel to pop up on ebay some time soon.:helpme:

sorry about the rant...

Sorry to hear that.....
Were there any security cameras in the area, gas stations or anything like that, that might have got it on tape.

Next time, tack weld the bolts after you tighten them down. Sorry for your loss.
