Hard times are on us and so are thieves.

I sadly report a stolen kart from a good friend. Please help out if you see any kart similar to this.
Hi All,

On Monday, a person came in and bought a used Rotax kart from FTK. Today we were notified that the check was a forgery and all his personal information was false. His listed name was Andrew Chalupa. He is about 5'8" and 230lbs. with a bald head.


Please keep your eye out and call FTK immediately if you happen to see the kart around.

It is a 2008 birel M32 with a Rotax on it. It has a My-Chron 4 and an XL unpadded Tillet seat. It was Andy's personal kart, and it still has an FTK sticker kit on it, #51 and my name flag tag stickers on the sides.

Thanks,

Andy Seesemann

sorry to hear this -

One of our local Rotax teams recently had their whole trailer stolen in Santa Clara, CA:

I know they were not Birels - but just a reminder to all in the Rotax series to be on the look out.

Unbelievable!!!!

The police found the stolen van with my kart and lots of other stuff purchased with fake checks.

I already have the kart back in my shop.

Thanks to all that called and emailed.

Andy

Glad to see you were lucky to get your property back.

My only hope is that they caught the guys and that you prosecute. Sad to say but so many times these cases are either dropped or there is a simple slap on the hand for these creeps....

Good news this time is that the good guy won
