Copied from another MRR forum: From their Facebook page; "Hi guys, We’ve got some unfortunate news to report this afternoon regarding the shipment of HO scale Procor tank cars and N scale CP FP9A locomotives to two of our US distributors. We have just been informed by our carrier that a trailer containing these shipments destined for the US was stolen from a local trucking yard sometime in the last couple of days and is still missing as of this afternoon. An investigation has been launched, but as of now we don’t know where these shipments are and whether or not they will be recovered. While it is believed the models were stolen here in Canada, it’s possible they could appear in the US as well and that the thieves may try and sell the product to either a dealer or otherwise sometime in the near future. With that in mind, we’re asking dealers and the modeling community to please keep a lookout for any suspicious offers or shipments of these models and please contact police should anything come about. Thank you for your help. Regards, Jordan and the Rapido team."
Dang, that sucks! Keep an eye out on Epay, and other selling sights.... Especially if the seller has 10 or more!

I can't believe they actually found it. It must not have made it very far. The thieves were probably looking for TVs or other electronics, and once they saw the trains, they probably just abandoned the container.
If they only knew that those trains were prolly just as valuable as a TV or most electronics today, they may have went farther. Oh well, glad to see the trains are in the proper hands.
Yah but, TVs and electronics can be sold in a lot more places. Model trains just aren't as popular. I only see them at second hand stores before Christmas and are so decorated. Glad to see they were recovered.
