[Elecraft] KX3 Stolen at Hamvention

[Jerry]

Greeting all,

I've got the correct S/N from Elecraft this afternoon. It is S/N 6168. There
has been a lot of chatter about this incident, and my intent was not create
a very long thread. Here is what happened:
1. The radio was in a small fabric bag in the trunk with other things. I
don't believe the thief knew what he had grabbed at the time.

2. The thief also grabbed a portable computer which had some very sensitive
and excellent information that someone could use to steal my identify. The
entire hard drive was encrypted using Windows 8.1 Pro Bitlocker. No need to
discuss the pros or cons - I am not concerned about the KX3. What I am
concerned about is the computer. Catch the KX3 and then I may get the
computer back. If that happens and the encryption is still not tampered
with, then my life suddenly gets so much better. I have spent the majority
of the last two days doing damage control changing accounts passwords etc.
It's a good exercise that has made me so much more appreciative of the pain
that others who have suffer from ID thief. My fortune is; I have not been
hit yet and by tomorrow, I will have this all under control.

3. So my request to all of hams is this: if you come across this KX3 in your
wanderings about the internet or anywhere, please give me a phone call (not
e-mail) at 540-583-0475.

Best regards,

Jerry Knowlton, W1IE
