I was "robbed" many years ago of my mobile. Tough nuggies on me. No Internet then.
Now, we can alert each other, BUT -
Still, like real estate, Location, Location, Location!
Where are you and where was it stolen? I am a "2" call living in "5" land. So location needs to be given. What I can help recover is if a listing is summarized in heading with State, City then gear.
I am in Austin, YeeHaw! Texas. Anything in Clifton, New Jersey is probably not going to turn up here. If I am kicking the tires on eHam or (help us) eBay, I can then check the item.
But for better help, try something like the following:
"Clifton, NJ - Yaesu 727 taken from vehicle in Mall"
details........
I want to help but often times, the geography isn't given.
