Just a warning about something that happened to me.
I have been trying to sell my Rancher here lately. The other day I got a call from a guy that wanted to come look at it. So I gave him directions to my house. I got the quad out and ready for him to look at. He should of been there in about 30 minutes but after a hour he still was not there. He finially called saying that he had a flat tire. He did not have a jack and wanted me to bring a jack to him. So I loaded up a jack and headed towards his direction. I get to where he was suppose to be. I get there and no one there, so I call his cell number. It came up on caller ID. He said that he was lost and told me to go another 5 miles down the road. I get to that location and no one there either. I started to get nervous, now when I call he does not answer. I called home and had my Mom keep an eye on my Rancher, since it was still sitting outside with the key in it. She said that nobody came by, but she went outside and swept the sidewalk.
I called a former neighbor that is a deputy sherrif. He told me that there is thieft ring going around that calls on 4-wheelers that are in the paper. Then they get directions to your house. They either never show up or try to get you farther away from your house, and come in and steal you quad.
Just thought I would pass on what I have learned. Do what you can to protect yourself.
