You guys got to help me if you can. My brand new D&D Firecat 800 was stolen Sat night/Sunday morning from Houghton Lake, Michigan. We were staying in the Comfort Suites Hotel and it was taken from right next to my trailer. I cant believe this happened, I should have known to put it back in the trailer.

REWARD TO ANYONE SUPPLYING INFO TO ITS RECOVERY!!!

This isnt something you see everyday so it should be easy to spot if its taken out. Let me know if anyone knows of a D&D 800 engine for sale, or a Boondocker kit, etc. It had the following on it.
D&D 800 Engine
Boondocker EFI controller
Single D&D Pipe
D&D Silencer
Poilshed Tunnel
Track had 68 ice pixx and 102 trail studs in it. Easy to spot.

PLEASE KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN, I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

You can call me with any info, 248-330-5511...Jeff

UPDATE: SLED SEEN IN MANCELONA, MICHIGAN. Got a call from an arcticchat member last night who saw the post. He saw the sled at Starvation Lake Bar Sunday afternoon. That is in between Mancelona and Grayling, Michigan. if your in that area, please keep an eye out.
I have made up a flyer, if you are in that area and willing to post some up for me , please PM me and I will send to your email...thanks.

THANKS GUYS, WE WILL GE THEM IF WE KEEP LOOKIN.

man this is sad to hear,there have been some stolen sled out of detroit,but have been changing the vin numbers and registering them.

lovethepowder · 01-24-2006, 08:39 PM

I would like to catch some these idiots that steal things. They're just pathetic losers that are too damn lazy to get a job. It'll kick em' in the butt sooner or later. Whoever stole it probably won't be able to handle the power of that sweet sled anyways. Hope you find it.

YamahaRyy · 01-24-2006, 09:26 PM

something that nice will be parts in a matter of hours. not to be mean, just realistic

rgoers · 01-24-2006, 09:33 PM

Man, so sorry to hear that. It boggles my mind that there are low-lifes like that in this world. Real sad...

I guess a lot can be said for a sturdy cable and a padlock. I've never done an overnight ride, but I do carry a cable and lock in my sled, in case I have to leave it somewhere. Heck, I even lock my sleds to my camper in my driveway. Call me overboard, but it's stories like this guy's loss that open our eyes to the fact that there are butt-holes in this world that walk around and pretend they are human.

Probaly not much sense in looking for it in NY, especially since we don't have any snow. But; I do spend a LOT of time on eBay, and I will certainly keep my eyes open there for any parts, etc. from that sled. Should be pretty easy to spot.

I actually hope that the police find the thief first though... Being stupid enough to ride it should increase the chance of that happening!

PolarisINDY500 · 01-24-2006, 09:45 PM

locky, who are you posting that for? how do you know him, or did you just pass it on??

that sled is t|ts...to bad its stolen...i hate fu_ckers that do stuff like that

sled_head25 · 01-24-2006, 10:26 PM

SnowRida · 01-25-2006, 04:18 AM

Or they may just joy ride it and ditch it somewhere. Hope the guy has some type of insurance on it. If not, wow, he might be out of luck. Hope that they find it!

locky · 01-25-2006, 04:25 AM

PI500, I just ran across it on the net. I thought I would just post it to help the guy out.

PH1 · 01-25-2006, 07:33 AM

The obvious question has to be asked. Did he leave the key in it overnight? Do AC's have keys? Can they be started without one? Thank goodness for my D.E.S.S.

Common IRS JR., we wont tell..... oh and we're going to need your adress too.

But are you guys serious? All cats have the same keys? I'm glad i have my DESS!

groaty · 01-25-2006, 02:36 PM

cat keys are not all the same but a lot are very similar. my dad has a bunch from all the cats he has owned, he keeps them in case he loses one. you have to kinda force it to turn to get it to work. ski-doo was smart by putting the d.e.s.s. on there sleds.
