'Priceless' Radio-Controlled Airplanes Stolen From South Bay

When talking to Rick Maida, don't make the mistake of calling his collection of radio-controlled planes a hobby.

probly some one seen you at salinas and wanted a landscape trailer

[Brian]

Ever heard of a thing called, INSURANCE?

[Adam]

Here's to keeping 'Priceless' items locked up and not parked in a trailer outside your house. DOY!

[Matt]

Don't be an idiot. The material cost is obviously secondary to this poor fellow. Yes, insurance would be nice to replace the material cost, but he said it himself, he's crushed because of what is undoubtedly thousands if not tens of thousands of hours of loving labor.

I agree with Matt i have alot of time invested in my rc aircraft and money too. I feel bad for him loosing the planes. the trailer can always be replaced. I dont ever leave any of my rc aircraft outside. As soon as i come back from the flight field i unload and there locked up. And my Aircraft aren't even as nice. but i'm protective over my possesions. My dad told me something once when i had something stolen "they must have wanted it a whole lot more then you Did otherwise you would have protected it alot better" He was right if you value something guard and protect it. Otherwise Someone else will want it alot more then you Did.

it's too darn bad since those parts are not going to be of *any* value to the thieves.

[Joe]

Dude, I hope you get them all back. And the idiot doesn't damage them, too!

Which part of "priceless" do you not understand? It's the hours of work involved here, not the dollar value. If you're not going to read and understand the story, don't post. Thanks.

It'd probably help if they included a license plate number, t'look out for...

Typical of what salinas now is, an outlaw town run by gangs....mexican gangs.
