    Not even a thief wants them

    Sad to say a friend of mine had a couple of saws stolen a few days ago, but we had a laugh about at least one thing. He had 5 saws in the back of his truck 2 ms 460's and 3 assorted husky's and it seems all the thieves were interested in were the Stihls. Now everyone knows Stihl saws are the best in the world but I would'nt have they would have passed on the husky's all together.

    Well maybe it was just one thief and he did pretty well for himself if he had a 460 in each hand. Like to use one of those to make sure he didn't have hands to steal again. Oh, that sounds cruel. Leave him one so he can eat.

    When I first saw the title of your post I was sure you were gonna say Poulans. Personally, I like Poulan saws, the old ones, but I've been looking on ebay and some of the Poulans got no bids at all and they were started pretty cheap. If a person wouldn't bid 7 dollars on a saw he probably wouldn't steal it either..

    He probably stole the two 460's cause he knew he'd need them both to keep one running

    I'd agree that it sucks he stole the saws and needs to be missing a hand or 2... but at least he knew which was were easy to sell to a pawn shop, on craigslist ect. still sucks ass though

    BTW if i were a theif, id steal the stihl's and leave huskys too... i could get a lot more wood cut with the stihl's

    Seems like the husky boys got their feelings hurt.
    Even this thief knows Stihl has the best resale value bar none.
