    Year of misfortune

    As some of you might remember, I lost both my parents earlier this year. Followed by I was layed off at work and am still looking for work. To top it all off, my storage unit was broken into a number of months back and a bunch of items and documents stolen. A large portion of those stolen items were my Marauder New Old Stock parts horde, many of which were hard to find discontinued items. I was devastated to tell you the truth and couldn't bring myself to even talk about it for some time. After finding that the police are not interested in actually solving crime or recovering lost items, I finally have to move on. Should have gotten the storage insurance but I never imagined this would happen.

    Let us know how we can help… And I will keep my eyes out for Marauder parts being sold. Let me know of any part you need. I am happy to share my hoard if I have a part you need. Again, sorry about the loss of your parents.

    Jesus man I loathe thieves!!! Fingers crossed you see some of those parts surface and can link them to the culprits! We are a close family and as long as I have been here there's always been that camaraderie.

    Thank you all for the well wishes.

    As much as I love the better quality of my Redline Marauder floormats that are in my car which have held up nicely and are of good quality, as a purist, I had two sets of new old stock original Marauder floor mats. Both NOS sets were among the stolen. As a purist, I would like any leads on a set of original Marauder floormats with at least minimal wear. That would be much appreciated.

    Also, since I use the JLT cold air intake kit, I had my original air box and tube etc. in storage. They were also stolen. Please let me know any leads so I can still have the original equipment should I eventually desire to go back to stock. Used is ok.
