I see it done all of the time. I have had some auctioneers pay me to be there sale day just to keep everything running.
List of common things done: 1)Guys will steal rotor buttons. 2)Screw the carb adjusting screws in or out all the way to make the motor not run. 3)Pull the wires off the back of the key switch so it will not start. 4)Unplug the safety switch wires so it will not crank. 5)Change the plug wires around on the distributer cap.
I could go on all day. The amount of crooked things done is amazing.
Was at a sale once that the auctioneer stopped the sale while two deputy sheriffs arrested a guy that had sabotaged some of the equipment. The auctioneer had been having that trouble at some recent sales he paid the sheriff to have some guys there under cover. The guy was charged with property destruction. He got six months in jail.
I told the kids if they have a sale then hire someone to watch the equipment day and night until it sells. Even have video cameras would be good too.
