Thieves hit Strasburg RR

Hi,
This is not narrow gauge, Sorry. However, theft is theft and letting as many know as possible to be on the lookout for the stolen goods is important.
I received the following e-mail from the PRRsignals group on Yahoo

"Last night, thieves forcibly broke in at the Strasburg Rail Road's
engine house, and took the following items:
The number plates from engines #31, #90, #475.
Classification lights from engines #31, and #89.
1 new classification light.
6 rear end marker lamps, 4 kerosene, and 2 converted to battery
operation. 1 photograph of engine #89 on the Green Mountain. Side view
with specifications. 1 Strasburg Rail Road rule book. Red loose leaf
format. 1 Small (about ½ normal size) locomotive brass bell and yoke. 1
ICC steam locomotive defect chart.
They also forced open (and destroyed in the process) a steel door to the
back shop, but we haven't spotted anything missing from in there yet. It
appears that there were two perpetrators in that they left many
footprints and tire tracks in the snow. Pennsylvania State Police are
investigating. They seemed to have a specific "shopping list" in that
they took only railfan collectibles, and only specific ones at that. We
at the Strasburg Rail Road ask for the help of the community to return
our property to us, and to bring these criminals to justice. If anyone
has any information, please call the Strasburg Rail Road at
717-687-8421. By the way, anyone know of a source for reproduction
number plates? Seems like there was someone in Virginia, but I don't
know for sure. "
