My storage unit in St. Petersburg was broken into on or about Wednesday, May 12th. The following items were stolen. Please be on the lookout for them.

C6 LS7 block, VIN ending in 0055
C6 LS7 crank
1 pr. C6 LS7 heads, complete, one head shows minor damage to combustion chamber
1 pr. exhaust manifolds w/cats.
H-pipe
Radiator support
1 pr. DBA 5000 2-piece gold hat front rotors
1 pr. DBA 4000 1-piece gold hat rear rotors
1 pr. Carbotech Front 1-piece pads CT1185-S (1521)
1 pr. Carbotech Front 1-piece pads CT1185R-S (1521)
Doug Rippie Motorsports brake line kit
SPA dual Boost/Fuel Pressure gauge
SPA dual EGT gauge
AEM Wideband gauge
Elite Engineering tunnel plate with thermal blanket

All in all, about $4500 worth.

Please be on the lookout, and spread the word.
 
I'd look at whoever may have known it was there. The avg thief looks for electronics & easy to move stuff. Your list is pretty specific to the LS performance crowd.
 
Does your storage unit had cameras and a controlled access?

I agree with Tracy. It sounds like someone that knows you or that new the parts were there and what they may be worth.

I'd be looking around at the speed shops, hi-performance shops, flea markets, Swap Shops (pawn shops) and on Craigs list to name a few.

Where is your unit located?
 
Damn, that sucks.

Who have you mentioned to that you have a storage unit and what was stored in it? Whoever is on that list are your primary suspects.

And yes, I believe some storage units do use security cameras.

Been a while since I have used a storage unit, but do they offer any sort of insurance on the contents you place there or are you entirely on your own?

Hope you find out who did it and can PROVE it to the authorities.

Most of your higer end, gated, controlled access units do. I had just such a unit for several years.

CCTV cams all over the place and controlled access (althoug it was easy enough to breech the gat by simply pulling the cotter pin...ask me how I know;):lmao:).
Just remember to smile when you do it:thumbsup:
 
Yea, obviously the work of someone who knew what you brought in. Either from someone you told or maybe an employee who saw you dropping it off and happens to be an LSx fan.

Good luck getting your stuff :(
