Last Sunday, in Columbus, Ohio, his trailer was stolen. In addition to that, the coral vendor that travels with him, Eye Candy Corals, lost their show tank due to someone breaking into the show and bleaching his tank.
I am asking EVERYONE to PLEASE WATCH E-bay, Craigslist, Amazon, and any other selling site. Help him to locate this stuff. This is a man who drives from Minnesota to go to shows all over the US to provide us with items that we need for our hobby. I am attaching the email I received from him. Please help us locate these crooks.

Some of you have, some of you have not heard...my truck was stolen in Columbus, Oh last Sunday morning. It was before a swap set up so there was a lot of stuff-stuffed in it.
A LOT of this is very unique to me and to the industry. I am throwing out a hail mary pass that if enough know about it, can tell a few people, list it on your boards, check your local Craigs list, Ebay, Amazon, STORES, maintanance firms large or small....someone might see something.
I have a few photo's to show some of the items
To me things that will stick out
-The coral/glow sticks...NO one has them in quantities. They are 18" up to 72" long and in green, orange and red.
-The cubes I store things in are from Target called Itso cubes. They are white and have 2 bolted together. They are 14 1/2", all the way around, obviously 2 of them will be 29" long/high. They stack pretty nice and hold a LOT of stuff. Hydor, Mag, Maxi-jet and other pumps and power heads. There are prices on the upper side of many of the cubes.
-The drawers that also stack nicely are from Iris, they have not been made in 5-7 years. I checked because I wanted more of them, the company just giggled and said I was a bit late. They are filled with Elos, Radium, Ushio, XM MH se bulbs, test kits, cleaning magnets and lots of parts
-5' silver truck box
-2-black Contico boxes approx 34x24x24"
-Tongs 12" angled with red coated tips, 24" tongs no coating
-Skimmers from Coralife, Hydor, Aquatic life
-UV's from Coralife and Tetra and replacement bulbs
-2/3/4' T5 bulbs, 13/18/24/28/55/66/96w PC bulbs
-Salifert and SeaChem test kits
-Leds 6 to 48" long from Marineland, Aquatic Life
-4' Coralife 4 bulb T5
-Black plastic tool box filled with Ushio, Phoenix, AB de MH bulbs
This could go on for pages, do what you can to get the word and photos out. Most of this is going to stick out, with who ever might get some or all. I will offer a reward of up to $1000 depending on what is recovered.
thanks, Dirk
