Never so much as even a bad lead on the case. The investigator suspected that they had been taken to Alabama to be sold or used by the theives. I hope this business has better luck recovering the machines than my friend!

You have to know where those mechanisms are on each machine in order to do be able to move them,,,,unless they weren't set...???/ just wonderin where the keys were….could this have been an inside job??? someone had to have known something about these machines….as noted earlier, these machines have to be free wheeled in order to be moved.

Guess they'll quit banking on the assumption that no one would steal a zero turn due to the fact of their weight and hydrastat drive... (Early models couldn't be "free-wheeled").... Hmmm, sure do wonder who could've figured out how to have pulled this heist successfully..... Well well well….

They were prety brave to have stolen these right there on hwy 31....escambia lawn may better take notice and put their things up too...they are just down the street and we have always wondered why they leave their merchandise outside This was at least a 2 man job…these mowers are extremely heavy and would have been really hard to push up on a trailer…I assume they brought a trailer with them to haul them away.

It would be risky to sell them openly in the local area. I would imagine a few summers up at the prison farm will help these persons get their mind right. I bet they get caught!

They could as someone suggested have taken them to sell in another state. They also could have taken them to one of these properties with multiple families living on them and are using them to move their many acres. Or they took one of themselves and one for 2 other relatives. So many people here have property with barns to store them in and even their property is surrounded with trees and no one would ever see them again. They are high priced mowers that most people could never afford just one, and too many people anymore think, oh well, just take what you want. I hope they catch them and they serve some good time do some chain gang stuff for many years. I'm really getting tired of thieves. (GRRR) 3 of them were stolen. They could as someone suggested have
