I sent that tanner guy a email about a carter pump and this is what he sent back.


"There is a guy in Spokane with one like you are looking for. his number is 5093298057. I passed on it because I already have one and it's not a very desirable pump."

sorry to hear about your pump...i drove through Spokane last Tuesday morning (glad I didn't have my truck or youall would be looking in my garage..LOL) on my way to Seattle to visit my brother. I ran across a Wayne 60 in Idaho that is just standing int he guy's driveway. It wasn't for sale, but I strongly encouraged him to move it inside or get it bolted down.....Will keep an eye out here in Montana for your pump.

Welcome to Oldgas Justin!
You joining up here will be a great thing that comes out of the bad situation.
I hope that someone finds it and if I come across it, it will be my pleasure to get it back to you and have the idiots charged with theft.
I don't think you should've sold me the glasses back then because you wanted them for a reason, and heck they are yours to decide what you wanted to do with them until these JA's came along and stole it. I was looking forward to possibly seeing it all done up some day in Carter so hopefully it will get found and you will be happy and I'll get to see the end results and that will make me happy.
Feel free to call and stop by next time your out here on the west plains!

I just went through the same thing, with signs. If anyone is dumb enough to try to flip it with a Carter ad glass even I could spot it. Really sorry about it. Good luck getting it back. Some times the thought of money will turn two thieves against each other.

The guy is really serious about getting his pump back.
Now offering a $2,000 reward.

Hopefully he gets it back, for that amount of award he should be able to.

I found this today and don't think it is the same but who knows.

I don't think so, several items are different in ways that could not be faked easily. Suck as, the base of the stolen one is in good shape. The base plate of the one for sale is rusted. Yes there are ways to make parts rust quickly. But most thieves aren't that savy.

I hope the owner finds his pump. I remember when my ATM card number was stolen and used to buy satellite service. I called the satellite company and tried hard to get them to give me the address that MY card had paid for, of course they refused. I planned to knock on the address front door with a baseball bat in my hands.

I think we are doing the seller of the above listed pump a great disservice by suggesting that his pump may be the missing stolen pump. Different face style, different nozzle, different look at the globe holder area and, as already mentioned, different condition of the base.

Good Eyes guys! My bad for not seeing those differences.

Easy to throw someone under the bus, & if your wrong call 911

If I was him I would check all scrap yards it was probably a drug using piece of garbage looking for money for his next binge. I had a tenant steal some items out of my garage then when evicted came back and took all copper pipes out of house.
I checked all scrap yards in area and he had ticket for copper a few days later.

Good point. Sad but true.

I just got word from Justin that he recovered his pump today, mostly intact and complete!!!
