stolen

Wow, and to think I USED to leave my doors and car unlocked.

Was it just the blade or the blade and head unit? What brand was it, and what truck was it supposed to be on? If I help you find it you need to come over and plow my driveway (around the broken snowblower that is!).

Good luck Mary.

It always seemed amazing to me that more plows aren't stolen this way. If it's a Fisher, the overwhelming choice here in New England, it only takes 30 seconds or so to pull up to it and take it away. With very few exceptions, any late model truck set up with a Fisher frame can hook up to any size Fisher plow from any type of truck and take it away. Unless you have the serial number from the unit, it will be very difficult to track down. Good Luck.

This was the 1st year that we locked our cars at the lake. Normally, I would leave my purse, keys, in my unlocked car which is about 15 feet from the front door. Over this past summer coolers, grills, tools have been stolen off neighbors decks. And several cars had been rummaged through and most of this has happened while the owners where sleeping sometimes just feet away.

mrylmbt did the police have any luck locating your stolen plow?

Hi all, is there a way to move this from the history forum. I don't know how i did that, but it would be better in the general discussion. we did notify the police. we do not expect to get it back. It was a fisher quick mount with the whole light assembly head. we just called around and i can see why people are stealing them instead of buying them, there up to $4000.00. ours was only 2 years old. it looked like new. we only plow our place with it and last year we hardly had snow.
I just wanted to see if maybe someone heard something, and to make people
aware of the thefts going on.

I was under the impression that the width of the trucks frames made a difference in the width of the head units mounts?

WG,
That used to be true in the old days but nearly every "off truck" Fisher plow set up, that is the part you see standing up in the driveway when not in use, is the same, regardless of blade width 7 1/2', 8' or 9'. Any Chevy, Ford, Dodge or other truck with the right setup (28 1/4 inch centers) can pull up, hook up, and take it away. That's why they call it a Minute Mount Plow and it can be done that fast.
