    Does the company not have a secure compound, or secure car park?

    That ebay auction looks like it was started before the theft.

    Indeed - it had bids on it a day before the theft! :lol:

    And the vendor has 465 positive feedbacks as a seller over the last 6 years. There's just a slight chance the sale is all above board......

    And it is listed as 2012 rather than 2013 though I wouldn't know the difference.
    Faster than a tent.......
