[Amps] Stolen Radio

[dcoffman at iquest.net]

Just for smiles and grins, E-bay always removes Uniden HR-2510 radios from 
auctions, even if they are unmodified.  However they don't bother with 
President Jackson, Grant or other heavily modified out of band rigs.

I have seen homebrew amplifiers sold on E-Bay with as many as 9 3-500Z tubes 
intended for 11M service.  The scary part is some of them look like care was 
taken to make a pretty decent amplifier.

If you can prove it is stolen, I can't see why the wouldn't at least hold the 
auction until it could be sorted out?

Hope it all works out
