Some reports of stolen radios are woefully lacking in essential information. A few recent reports, on various lists, failed to note such things as:
1. Does the radio have a DTMF keypad?
2. What color is the case?
3. Are there any exterior markings?
4. What antenna- regular, stubby, or custom?
5. What type of battery is attached to it?
6. Does the radio have a display?
7. Is the radio an FM Approved model?
Of course, a report should include the complete model number and serial number, as well as the model name. Incredibly, one recent report cited a stolen Motorola HT750 radio, serial number x, but neglected to mention that it was a "rugged option" version that has a gaudy yellow case intended for firefighters. Gee, that's a pretty significant little tidbit to leave out!
