Good article in Washington. Pay attention to what they were
looking for as the cruised areas searching.
Possible chain saw chop shop under investigation
By Eric Stevick, Herald Writer
MARYSVILLE — On the street, he's known as “the saw guy.”Now
detectives with a north Snohomish County property crimes unit
are investigating whether the Marysville-area businessman was
running what amounted to a chop shop for stolen chain saws.With
a court-approved search warrant in hand, they paid an
unannounced visit to the home-based online business last week.
The man has not been arrested or charged.The investigation is
continuing and the business owner has been cooperative, said
sheriff's detective Glenn DeWitt, a member of the north county
property crimes unit.Detectives recovered seven items, including
a boat motor and chain saws, that had been reported stolen in
Snohomish and Skagit counties. They also are sorting through the
serial numbers of roughly 200 other pieces of equipment found on
the property. The business, which sells chain saws and parts
over the Internet, reportedly made $166,000 in 2013.It came
under scrutiny in recent months during other burglary and theft
investigations. One woman told detectives that a lot of drug
users take their stolen loot to the “saw guy.”In early January,
a Snohomish County Sheriff's Office patrol deputy stopped a car
near Marysville. A man ran off. Deputies found heroin,
methamphetamine and a notebook titled the “Stihl book” in the
car. Stihl is a brand of chain saw. The book included a ledger
listing makes and models of different chain saws, weed eaters,
leaf blowers and other equipment.Among the items recovered last
week was a blower that was stolen from a city of Marysville
truck.One burglary suspect reportedly trolled neighborhoods
looking for homes where wood had recently been cut. That was a
sign that the owners might have chain saws. Detectives believe
the thief hit cars, barns, sheds and open garages.In one
instance near Cathcart, the alleged burglar entered a garage and
stole several guns from an open safe. A sheriff's vehicle was
parked in the driveway next door.Detectives believe the business
owner and a co-worker would break apart many of the chain saws
brought to them and sell the parts.“This is similar to cases I
have investigated related to chop shops where suspects were
taking apart cars to sell for parts,” DeWitt wrote.Law officers
are looking for a man and a woman suspected in multiple
burglaries and thefts related to the chain saw case.The
investigation involving the business owner also will be
forwarded to prosecutors to decide on whether charges should be
filed. Potential charges could include trafficking in stolen
property.DeWitt said there were concerns that the man was not
following sales and transaction rules for second-hand
businesses. Those include gathering identification from people
offering merchandise and logging serial numbers.The detective
urged homeowners to keep track of serial numbers for items that
could be attractive to thieves.

If so, he also has many more parts that are not from old
chainsaws . . .
