What happens to such a plane after it's stolen?
What is it used for?
How does it stay undetected after every airport in the country is notified it's stolen?
Just curious.

Thanks all - John's son-in-law drove down and picked them up - he had to get back to work asap - As for what happens to the plane - I figured it flies
straight to mainland Mex - lands on an airstrip in the jungle and shuttles drugs after being repainted and numbered- never sees an airport.

Right.
I'm sure the plane landed at an airport.

I always thought about taking one of the wheels off. Pretty difficult to takeoff like that.
Take about 10 minutes to remove one. Nose gear probably easiest.

Or make it so it'll fall out of the sky if the failsafe is not reset by the knowing (owner) person prior to liftoff. You may lose the plane(bummer!),
but you also lose the culprit.

Or what about having a 'tracking emitting device' that would law enforcement to easily tell where it is as soon as notified of stolen airplane? After
all it's wide open up there. Nowhere to hide for quite some time.
But that's all in the future. Right now it's better to prevent theft from the start.

the trucking industry perfected a GPS system that would run for almost a year and had it's own battery. Seems they were having trouble with trucks
and equipment getting stolen. You then subscribed to a computer program where you could tell the wherabouts of the system 24 hours a day. After
having a boat stolen in Mexico I fantasized about having one on the next boat and thought about how much fun it would be to just pull up on your boat
with 5 or 6 of your biggest friends.

I have the same thoughts, but I think a 12 gauge and more will be much better

In the past 25 + years, I have heard and seen many planes after midnight ---
I was sitting out on my front porch in early April when one went over maybe a 1000' in the air--about 10:00 PM
