The sad part is these tractors have probably already been sold for scrap.

Possibly, but this seems to have been target specifically at these tractors, so i suspect they had a sale for them lined up.

They would be very wise to notify the Toy Farmer (host of the National Farm Toy Show). Their show is November 2-3-4 in Dyersville, IA. I would bet $$$ those tractors get "fenced" there...... Dyersville is only an hour from Boscobel.

I hope Mr Gebhard had insurance that would cover his loss, and it would good if he had an identifying mark on them somewhere that might help in recovering them. I sure hope so.
It's a shame that someone would cause this kind of stress in their lives at their age.

Not much lower than stealing from old folks.

Check and watch your local Craigs list, local sell & buy news paper and ebay for the crooks trying to sell them.
