From Diamond DA20?
PH-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] are glider registrations. Motorised gliders, here. But nothing keeps you from searching the actual registrations on the www… 
Dimona HK 36TTC. Almost the same thing as the DA20. Same airfoil.
Nothing’s sacred anymore…
If the frames were nicked that could be because it is far quicker to unscrew the firewall bolts than the dismantle the rubber mounts while the engine is suspended from a winch. Saving time was important; they cut through hoses worth €100+. Also, if I was doing this and nicking them for go-carts, I would nick the frames too to divert the attention. But whatever, it doesn’t look like the engines will be parted out. The market for Rotax parts must be very specialised. It looks like they are going into Rotax powered aircraft and the buyers will know they are probably buying a nicked engine. This was outside the UK and there are regimes where there is no CAA inspection involved on homebuilts so nicked parts are easy to use.
Another two 912’s stolen, this time from Fenland! What is the attraction to the 912?

I hope someone catches them and can administer fitting punishment away from the prying eyes of the Human Rights brigade!
Perhaps we need a place on this forum for publishing the S/N ’s of items stolen from aircraft, his would enable people to check quickly if they are offered parts from unusual sources.
If people are post all the serial numbers, then a google search will find the EuroGA thread instantly. We have excellent SEO; David is an expert on that.
Anybody who had something like this stolen would google on the S/N.
For the Rotax engines there is no better place to report them than at Rotax themselves, they publish the (long!) list in a document among their technical documents, service bulletins &c.
But for other items I am not aware of similar repositories so that would indeed be a good idea.
I have made this a sticky thread, so if someone contributes serial numbers (I can back-edit them into the posts above, if supplied) do drop them in, and we will see if the thread collects any useful mass.
We had a similar all-night ‘opening every toolbox’ etc theft orgy on a farm building, the proceeds of which (£20K+) included a scrap (unknown to them) Sensenich prop. Police were fatalistic from the start. When some of the stuff appeared on ebay, my very sharp eyed step-son deduced the seller’s general location. Subsequently an individual Police officer was very helpful in pointing out to us an unusual electricity pylon in the background of one pic that might be spotted from the air.
We took the plane over, found the pylon, and orbited the site until we positively identified a shed also visible in the ebay pic. We photographed it, avoiding loitering and thereby raising the alarm, and presented Police with the evidence. Officers were by then under pressure from our rabble rousing had no option but to act, and raided the place recovering some of our property. A miscreant was arrested but let off. A while later, a similar episode developed at another location, more of our property recovered, and another scum let off on the weakest “bought it in a car boot sale” alibi. Conclusion: Police officers, individually dedicated and courageous as they are, won’t act against this type of criminal unless you absolutely force them into it by doing the detective work for them, and then you run the fine line of becoming an undesirable in the eyes of the law yourself.
A UK perspective, of course.
