You know who you, are. Bring it back, put it under the east workbench and no questions.

Give 'em a fair trial. Then shoot 'em. Stealing tools is like stealing a horse from a cowboy. Tough to work without your tools.

I hope you get your tools back, but I doubt you will.

I have had a lot of tools stolen from me over the years, caught every one of them in time, even though I have only got about half the tools back.

A Boroscope or Borescope is a fiber-optic cable with a lens and a light disperser at one end, and a lightsource and either an eyepiece or a camera lens at the other. It's used to see inside of isolated cavities that would otherwise be visible only after disassembly. Want to see inside a combustion chamber? A borescope lets you look through the plug hole and see around in there. Think you dropped a washer into that intake port? This is an easy way to find out without disassembly.

The Sony that I have was many $thousands when new, and has an steerable articulating head on it that lets me push the 6' cable into a turbine housing and inspect blades without splitting a casing, displays on a 12" color screen, and has digital recording capabilities. Meanwhile, you can buy a decent home-use piece from Harbor Freight for a less than $200 that's more than adequate for casual use peeking inside car assemblies. Handy for looking into wall for wiring and plumbing, too. Everybody needs one. Apparently.

Now wait a minute here...

Jim, I gave your readio to Roger at the GTG after Third Coast 'cuz he said he would be seeing you.

Doc, Sean had me give the boroscope to him. Something about hunting gerbils with Stretch. I dunno what that means.


Quick Reply: If you have my borescope, bring it back to Roger's Edit: We caught the bastage!
