Those sorts of things aren't so easy to pawn, so you might ask if you
were being targetted for some other reason. Maybe it's a bit different
there, but there just aren't that many people around looking for o-
scopes and FPGA development boards. Certainly not enough to get the
"quick score". While it's possible that the thieves were just looking
for "expensive looking stuff", it's possible that the target was your
equipment.

Do you do consulting work at home, or bring work home?

Just something to consider. In all likelihood, it was probably just
bad luck that they took your development hardware.

Sunnyvale might be their next stop. The only barrier I see is the number of 
traffic lights to get past on the way there.

I'd watch Ebay for such an item, or items, turning up for auction together. 
Unfortunately if they know what the stuff is they probably know someone in 
your area that will buy it.

Wow. High tech burglars in Milpitas. Maybe it's time to move to Sunnyvale.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Bob

My apologies to those who'd consider this spam, but my house in
Milpitas, CA was burglarized and among the less mainstream objects
stolen were a Tektronix THS730 oscilloscope and a Digilent Spartan
3E-1600 Development Board.

If anyone comes across a suspect sale of this board for sale, please
let me know.

Thanks,
Tommy
