Steve,

Look up in the sky - maybe their 'treadmills' were running and they took off.

How many snowmobiles did you have in England then?

Bad luck anyway:frown:

Never had one in England, that may be why they weren't stolen?

Both my snowmobiles have been stolen.

In all the years in England I never once had a snowmobile stolen.

I suspect it was the fancy decals and go faster stripes that lured the bandits in. Its your own fault for tempting them with your fancy European ways

Well that sucks big time.

So sorry to hear that Steve, what an awful welcome to Canada.

Thanks for the karma people...Although they are only snowmobiles they were my ticket to the outdoors/snowy/fast movin' new life for the winter months.

As I've been told on numerous occasions since I got here, "If you want the winter to go quick, do something enjoyable outside, don't get stuck inside and wait for it to end."

Still, something may come good out of the insurance, one never knows.

Don't wish to be seen as the forum pedant, but it's spelt with an 'f' Kate.

Bad luck Steve - they could have at least left you one:mad:

Good luck with the insurance claim - I'm sure that will be a good thread:thumbsup:

Sorry to hear this Steve -:( did you have a chance to at least try them out? or has there been no snow yet?

Winter passes quick enough if you have a hobby, you could try scrapbooking....;):lol:

Karma sent :)

That's the other thing, I never even had a chance to sit on one.
I already have enough indoor hobbies, and anyway I'll need to get away from the new screaming baby that'll be here in the Spring.
