It seems that my fully equipped backpack with my KX3, serial 0076 is missing
from my garage.  I don't hold out any hopes of getting it back, but I
thought I would pass this along anyway.

Start checking you local Craigslist, pawn shops and eBay. Also, give the
police a call, because at least around here, the pawn shops are supposed
to call certain items in. I wish you luck. I've had ham gear stolen
before (when I was a broke kid, by an older "friend" [KA9ALC, SK]), and
it sucks.

Hopefully, "it seems" will be the operative term,
Dick. It often is in my case: Most things I can't
find -- especially in my garage or shack (off the
garage) -- eventually turn up elsewhere in my
possession.  Sometimes having rigs that fit *in*
something is a disadvantage.  But I must admit to
a certain lack of organization :-)

Be sure to report this to  the police.  Since it was inside your home
(actually, your garage) at the time of the loss, you can probably get
reimbursed by your homeowner's insurance, but you have to report the
loss to the police before most insurers will pay. Depending on your
policy, there may not be much deductible, if any.

Check the local pawn shops, Craig's list, eBay, etc.  - you may find it.

Was anything else missing?   If not, then that is an indication that
someone was looking for that specific item.  Ask other hams that you
trust to keep their eyes open.

Someone stole a TS-120 from my Chevy Blazer several years ago.  I got it
back a couple of weeks later, with blown finals.  I was able to
determine who was responsible, and gave him the choice of paying for
factory repairs or going to jail.   He was a CB "good buddy" type teenager.

HI Dick:

Ouch!  I hope you are able to recover your rig.  Certainly, it's  
disappearance should be reported to local police.

Now.... someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but each rig has it's  
serial number as a menu item... and I'm assuming that there is no way  
for that to be changed... or easily changed.  Clearly, at some point  
in the manufacturing process, a serial number is applied to the  
memory in the rig.  Is that "burned-in".. or is it in some memory  
area that could be altered?

At the very least, Elecraft has the data record of the first buyer of  
each unit.  I suggest it would be a good thing for anyone who sells  
his KX3 or K3 to inform Elecraft, to document the transfer of ownership.
