Engine and 2 EFIS stolen from Belgium, help needed.

A friend in Belgium has had his new aeroplane trashed by some low life. The aircraft, an Esqual was butchered in the theft as the thieves tried to cut the front off the plane. This happened only a few weeks after the aircrafts first flight. The theft was from EBST, St Truiden on the 25th of May
The Engine is a Jabiru 3300 serial # 559 (33A559), in short supply at the moment due to the activity in the US with the light sport aircraft category.
The EFIS Grand Rapids multi function displays serial # 45 + 46 (MFD-01-03001 45 and MFD-01-03002 46)
Belgium has a small aviation community so it is likely that the parts from this theft may appear elsewhere.
The full parts list is below with serial numbers. Much of it certified equipment so will be fully traceable. If you ever have any info to help contact me by this board and I'll give you the owners E mail address.
