141 Tiny Terror combos have been stolen...


Thieves broke into Orange HQ at Borehamwood on Saturday night (16th August) and stole 141 Tiny Terror combos with a total retail value of £62,000. So far, 121 Tiny Terror combos have been legitimately shipped into the UK and 2 pieces to Hungary, no others have been shipped anywhere in Europe…

If you are offered a Tiny Terror combo or hear of somebody else who is, please contact info@omec.com to help Orange and the police with investigations. There will be a £3000 reward for information which results in the successful conviction of the criminals who carried out this theft…

As one of the smaller amp companies I hope this doesn't affect them too much (assuming they weren't insured).

Seems like a labour-intensive operation. YOu'd probably have to redo all the serials if you wanted to offload them, and then where? I imagine the US would be the best market, but then they'd have to be shipped...
The places where you'd run the least chance of getting caught selling them are also places where you wouldn't make much for them -- like Bulgaria.

Hah, £3,000 reward, that'd almost get you an Orange stack.

how could 141 be stolen if only 121 have been shipped into the UK?

As in there have only been 123 shipped to dealers and are registered. The further 141 are no registered and shipped to retail.

Key word regarding the 123 amps is legitimate.
