I seem to recall a youngster here in Perth borrowed an EQ6 mount from memory in a goodwill gesture by someone in Tassie.
The young fella was a student so I guess Mr Tassie thought he was doing the lad a favour loaning him the equipment.
As I remember, that was the last time Tassie saw his mount and no amount of attempts at communication got anywhere.
This was a few years ago now, but I happened to see a google review left by said rogue a couple of weeks ago at a shop I buy my car tyres and batteries from.
It's a small world hey.
Just saying
