Ian,

To fit such an engine as a mod or on a new homebuilt, somebody will need the serial number. I suggest you write to the BMAA CTO and PFA Chief Engineer asking them to put a watch on any paperwork listing that engine serial number.

And given the likelihood that the serial number will have been overstamped, perhaps every Jabiru engine whose paper work crosses the authorities desks over the next few months should be physically checked to see if it is stolen engine.

If such thieves quickly learn that the aviation community really does pull together in such circumstances in order to put them behind bars, they will be much less likely to consider raiding any other sites in the future.

I've see a number of 'lost' items being reported on PPrune. If any have been recovered through infromation from the aviation community, it would help to have that fact published on PPrune and elsewhere.
