Watchout for these tools

Hey guys, dont know why I never posted this in here:
I had around $6k in Snapon gear stolen earlier this year. Despite watching CL and pawnshops, I cant seem to find it. Most had MGH engraved on them or a tag with MGH.

Here is the basic list off the top of my head:
Snapon 1/2" TECHWRENCH
Snapon 3/8" TECHWRENCH
Snapon Metric ratcheting wrench set 10-19mm
Snapon Metric wrench set 8-24mm
Snapon Metric Flare nut set
Snapon Metric Deep 3/8 socket set 8-19
Snapon Metric Shallow 3/8 socket set 8-19
Snapon 3/8" 936 ratchet normal length, stubby, long with flex- all chrome
Snapon 1/4" Deep and Shallow socket set Metric
Snapon 1/4" T936/TL936
Snapon 1/2" Metric socket set 10-24mm
Snapon 18+ 24" breaker bars
Snapon 1/2" 936 ratchet
Snapon Pick set (red and black handles)
Snapon 1/4 3/8 1/2 knurled standard and wobbly extension sets
Snapon Screw driver set (red and black)
Snapon Pliers set (4 piece needlenose,cutters,pliers, adj pliers)
Snapon Metric Tap and Die set
Snapon 1/4" air grinder + Carbine burr set
Snapon 3/8" Impact gun
Snapon 1/2" Impact gun
Snapon 3/8" air ratchet
Snapon 3/8" and 1/2" metric impact sockets
Snapon hose clamp pliers, wire strippers, and snap ring plier set.
Snapon Breakerbar set
Snapon KRA4059 in red (older)

Non snapon- Flywheel socket, rear bearing puller, several random engine assembly tools, Mititoyo 6+12" digital calipers. 29 piece drill bit set. 1/2" Milwaukee drill corded.

I know there is more, need to find the list I made with the model and serials.
Insurance would barely cover $1k of these due to me not having reciepts (bought mostly off CL and ebay) and no updated photos.
Always lock your shop. Never invite strangers in. I have cameras to install now

If anyone ever come across them, ill make it worth your while. Anyone have some spare tools? Ha...
At least they did not touch my matco and craftsman boxes...

i'll keep my eyes peeled for "MGH", having tools stolen is almost as bad as having your car jacked. stupid thieves.

Thanks guys, its in cursive if that matters. What was even worse was I had just bought... 90% of the tools :-\, quit my job 3 months before it happened, and still have only replaced around $1200 worth of them... Sooo using the trusty craftsman for now.

I posted this on another forum I am on and sure enough, a local fellow in the next town posted he had seen someone selling some of the matching tools with MGH on it at a fleamarket style sale.

Looks like I am never getting them back... Oh well-

ALWAYS LOCK YOUR SHOP.

That sucks!!! I finally talked my Dad into giving me all his tools. About 10k worth, now the trick is figuring how to get them from Miami to Seattle..
