Last week the lock on my hangar was cut and all my tools and spare small recurring parts bins (screws, nuts, electrical connectors, etc) were stolen. I’ve been at this airport over five years without one single of theft occurring. Unfortunately my hangar wasn’t the only one broken into that night. Several others experienced equal or greater losses. No airport cameras. The city is now going to install a basic camera system by the gates I’m told.
There have been a series of hangar break-ins at several nearby OKC airports recently so hopefully the police will eventually catch these folks. My loss estimate is nearly $4,000. This sucks !
My home is almost an hour’s drive to the El Reno Airport. Now I have to have to load up the car with the tools I need and hopefully bring ALL the correct tools for the job. I’ve lost more than the valve of the tools and supplies stolen, I’ve lost faith in the ability to keep things safe at the airport.
Interesting side note: they took my extension cords but left one old cheap extension cord and plugged it into my old boom box and refrigerator to keep them working. I guess they didn’t want my old junk and thought cold water was important.
Thankfully they didn’t bother the RV.
