So I was going to fold a printing job today. - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

So I put the paper in the tray and turned the folder on and went to turn on the vacuum switch. Nothing happened, and then I looked in the bottom of the folder cart and noticed that the whole air pump assembly was missing. Then I started looking around and noticed that many tools and metal press covers missing.

Robert...do the right thing and call the cops in on this matter. It won't stop if you don't make it stop.

She has until tomorrow to bring back the missing parts. I suspect that my $1500 vacuum pump is in a scrap yard somewhere. The police WILL be called tomorrow. I am also making her leave. She cussed me out and said that I will never see her or our Grand kids again.

For everyone else here, JP and I have been talking about this situation for some time. My daughter has been stealing the wife and I blind. The folder pump was in a storage room and that's why I didn't notice it missing until today. I have a folding job to do that I will have to do by hand.

Can you use some Appalachian Engineering and rig a shop-vac to it?

I can't believe you said that jp. That's exactly what I thought, we have a small shop vac, and I put it in the truck about an hour ago to take to the shop tomorrow. I guess great minds think alike.

LOL That type of engineering is in my blood. I've witnessed my dad do some VERY unorthodox things to cars in the past, just to keep them on the road, to include hard wiring a switch to operate the electric fan on an old Ford Escort. I'm sure that if you need a smaller hose, that Lowes or another box store, would have the reducers needed...just make sure to add duct tape to really complete the job.

I'd second the cops if you can't get ahold of the main culprit, just in case you have to go through insurance to get some of the stuff back you'll have an itemized police report for valuation.

The culprit is my daughter.

What really pisses me is that the pump she took to the scrap yard was a very specific pump designed to work with my paper folder. I am going to have to try to rig something until I can find another one.
