Buddy of mine came home from work today to find the rear of his building had a vey big hole in it and his H was gone.Looked just like someone drove it right through the building.So he called the police and they came out and made a report on it.Well we were sitting outside wondering why whoever took it just didnt open the door and drive it out when we heard an engine running that sounded an awful lot like a Farmall so we went ot investigate and found his H somehow wedged up on a tree stump running with the back tires up in the air just spinning and rocking back and forth.It would jump a little when one tire would hit the ground and then the other side would hit and just kept going for about an hour and half or so.It finally ran out of gas and we jerked it off the stump and pulled it back to his house and put it back in what was left of his building.Police came back out and did some paperwork and that was that.Only two things we can think of could have happened.Some kids got in there and didnt know what they were doing and accidentally started in gear and then ran for their lives,but there was no sign of forced entry, or somehow this thing started own its own!So what do you guys do to keep something like this from happening.Hes normally in the habit of taking off the coil wire from the mag but for some reason he didnt.he just used it yesterday and had planned on using it this evening so I guess he didnt waste time on it.
