Two Precision basses Austin TX

Two Pbasses were stolen from my trunk in south Austin July Fourth. I Really want to recover these. The Lake Placid one is my favorite Pbass that I have ever owned. They should be fairly obvious to spot as they are both pretty unique and have been fairly upgraded. It's not real obvious from the picture but the LPB has reverse tuners and a threaded bridge to go along with the tort guard and bridge cover. As for the other, block and bound precisions are pretty tough to find period. Please let me know if you see them.

Sux.
I had a 64 T-Bird stolen in New Orleans in the mid-70's. It was left in my van for 10~15 minutes in front of my apartment so I was obviously targeted.

PS:
Do these have Serial Numbers or small, very unique markings for positive ID?
A lot of criminals have no brains and don't think of the obvious.

Thanks guys. I was out looking for them locally and came across an old ovation bass. I thought wow I used to have one just like that. looked at it closer and noticed it had a drumstick strike mark in the same location mine did. Turned it over to find the music store sticker that I bought it from. It was the same bass that was stollen from me 17 years ago in Lubbock. Was pretty crazy coming across that bass again after all of those years in a different city. Guess thieves do take stuff out of town to hock it. So Thanks for keeping an eye out in the rest of the state. You may very well stumble across them.
