Equipment stolen from parked airplane (FL)
MANATEE —Navigational equipment was stolen from an airplane parked at Manatee Airport.
To get at Scott Mitchell’s Garmin GNS-430, a combination communication radio, navigation radio and GPS with moving map, valued at roughly $10,000, the thieves had to cut through thick Plexiglas on the pilot side window of his 1968 Mooney single-engine airplane, which was parked under a rented shade hangar.
The Manatee County’s Sheriff’s Office filed a report on the case, but had not located the machine Friday, Mitchell said.

Witnesses Saw Man Pouring Suspicious Powder On Mailboxes (Ohio)
Witnesses saw a man pouring some kind of powder all over mailboxes on Wayne Avenue in Dayton Friday evening, police said.
The powder was white and came from a small, plastic vial, police said.
Police said they do not know what was in the vial and postal inspectors were called to investigate.
Even if the powder is harmless, the suspect could still face federal charges for tampering with a mail box, police said.

That’s interesting Velveeta.
Updates appreciated.
I wonder if someone is going to use the equipment and/or use the equipment to disrupt communications...or just fencing stolen property.
