NWTA Trail machine stolen!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,



On the heels of the good news about the arrest of a suspect in last summer’s rash of vehicle break-ins comes terrible news from Barrett Brown about a theft from the Northwest Trail Alliance of their new ST240 single track trail machine, it’s trailer, and several other trail building tools.



The machine was stolen from Stubb Stewart State Park’s maintenance yard after hours on Tuesday, November 29, 2011. The ST240 is a very unusual piece of equipment, there are only a handful of these machines in existence. I’ve attached links to the NWTA forum showing pictures of their machine and trailer as well as links to the company website for more pictures of the machine itself.

If you have any information about the stolen machine, trailer or tools – please contact Joe Rykowski of the Northwest Trail Alliance at 503-877-5637.



Thanks for your help!

This is very unfortunate.

Heard about this today.

Someone would have to be crazy to steal that, and expect to sell it without getting caught. Talk about unique.

Agreed Torx!
The thing that really pisses me off is that this impacts every one of the users of TSF. Barret has done more for us than many people realize, including creating these machines and for someone to just jack it is like a slap in the face.

Not quite the words I'd use, and those words aren't allowable here.

That is one seriously interesting machine. I'd love to see it running.

As you said this is in many ways worse than stealing from a single person, they have taken from a LARGE and diverse group of people. May karma have it's way with them swiftly!
I hope it's recovered quickly, and in good condition.

From what OSP was saying, it sounded like somebody just nabbed the trailer it was in.

Also, there was a possible sighting of the trailer in Ocean Park, WA, on the Long Beach peninsula so people in Washington definitely need to keep an eye open as well.
