Terrable news and I am sure you have been through all the reasonings as to why they stole them as they would not be able to easily sell the cars or gearboxes. FT200s do not come up for sale often and The engines and a few bits are the only things easily sold on. The Gear box builder should have a record of the crown wheel and pinion numbers even if the box numbers get taken off. When my car eas stolen (purley because it was in the trailer when the trailer got stolen by professsional trailer thieves) most websites were happy to post the fact that it had been stolen for free, so e-mail all the sites you can.
It can not have been easy to take them without wheels.
