Stolen Cues

I recently had a one of a kind cue stolen and came across a player with it two months later. It was obvious that he had not stole the cue, and taking it back would have been as wrong as the person who stole it from me. I hadn't filed a police report, where I could have called the police and the cue would have been returned. So I bought it back for what he had into it, which was less than half of what it is worth. I had also bought two new cues. Every cue I buy from now on will have my name written inside the butt underneath the butt cap and I will file police reports on any cues stolen in the future.

Don't hesitate to file police reports!!!!
that is where I messed up.
Your statement on placing my name on the cue is one Great Idea! But I am going a step farther and getting a jeweler inscribe my name where it cant be removed! Thanks for the Idea!

Stollen car with cues and case inside.

My car was stollen from the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel in Colorado Springs last night (7/22/14) and my 3 butt x seven shaft Instroke case (the tooled leather case that looked kind of two-toned with light and dark leather) full of cues was in the trunk (along with a set of Aramith Tournament balls and a bunch of other shite). In the case I had a thirty something year old, perfect condition McDermott C8 that I had just gotten back from McDermott where it was refinished, a new Irish linnen wrap etc etc. Showroom condition, not even chalked. I also had a Predator Roadline Sneaky with a Z2 shaft; a Predator BK2 break cue and Predator Air cue that was owned by Tony Chohan; a custom carom shaft that had a 3/8-10 joint and would screw onto my McDermott cues that I had Shawn Putnam custome make for me. I will give a nice reward for any info leading to the cues, and an even better reward for any info that leads to me getting my hands on the thief !!

Was the car recovered yet? Details to help identify the car just in case it makes it out my way would help.

No, nothing recovered so far. It was a 1996 red Mazda Miata with a tan rag top and tan leather interior. It seems unlikely, but who knows, maybe someone will spot it. Features to help identify it include a SS exhaust that has the words Racing Beat on the tail pipe.

Lifted my cue case with around 3k worth of cues and accessories at The Clubhouse in Lynchburg VA. Only agreed to bring then back after learning they had the whole incident on camera. Beware of this lowlife if he is ever around at your pool hall. I will include pictures please share with your friends as crap like this should not be tolerated.... uploadfromtaptalk1408987024309.jpguploadfromtaptalk1408987037017.jpg

Recovered stolen cues!!

^^Big thanks to Johnthebassist!! It's people like you that make the world go round. I got a random call last night while I was in pool league, and he explained how he found my gear. He even sent me links to the ebay sales. I tried but he would not accept any reward, he said the story was good enough for him.

A quick follow up call to the deputy sheriff assigned to my stolen property case, and it appears that I will be picking up my 4 stolen cues as soon as she gets back from holiday vacation. So chalk this one up as a success story! Thank you Johnthebassist, and thank you azb Forum! Good luck to everyone searching for stolen items,, happy holidays.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to johnthebassist again :grin:

Local pro Kurt Kobayashi's cue that was stolen last night in Honolulu.

From Kurt's facebook:
It's a maroon George 3x6 case. My tad cue as in picture and a mezz dual force jump break cue. If anyone has any info please contact me or if it is returned to me I will pay a reward fee. I'm in the process of filing a police report after I finish watching my security camera footage so I have a better idea on the time frame. Thank you

I know this guy. The 2nd pic was taken at Gate City Billiards in Greensboro, NC. I'll make sure the regulars know. Thanks for the heads up.
