Sounds like the guy stopped and started back, but when cars started hitting the mill, he took off.

Will be even sadder for him if the saw has a serial number that they can trace back to him.

I couldnt help but think he might have been on the way home from a hickory and pecan job with occasional nail strikes and then this happens. Who could hold it against him ?  :D Maybe he was rushing home to report it stolen, probably lots cheaper that way.

Maybe the saw was stolen.  That's why he ran.  Gary

I think either the saw was stolen or the guy driving didn't have insurance.  From what I hear theres alot of ppl without vehicle insurance out west and so there is alot of hit and runs.
