We have had to weld special brackets around our diesel air horns as some of the local Hispanic truckers have been using them on their 18 wheeled trucks. We have lost several in all probability to these type of thieves.

Now, what would anyone use a bell for other than a collector? You need to walk around your museums and think "what would appeal to a thief?" And do your best to safeguard your stuff.

Ted, have you spread the story on Railway Preservation News and other boards?
