Is Eddie Wheat involved with this somehow?
Hell no. Even Eddie Wheat wouldnt keep his own cue!

Brian,
Speaking of Eddie Wheat cues, I'm still looking for those Wheat Bucks.
Send them to me and I'll give you more tips for your kids to drop down the heat register.

threads like this show the mind set of America and explain why the lawyers are all too busy.
This thead is also very motivating to me to move out of america and go where things are more relaxed and not so tense.
i hope it works out in the end for everyone,

I have some counterfeit Wheat Bucks. Would those work?
Mr. Sutton: Kelly (JYD) suggested taking a dremel or similar tool and grinding a big "X" through the cactus so that it's very obvious the cue is not genuine. Sure it might be a bit severe but I thought it was a good idea, simple and straight to the point.
At this point I am just extremely curious to know who built the cue, I wonder if the people at Southwest have seen this level of forgery before?
That's where it really sucks, it was sold to a local poolroom owner who sold it to my friend. The room owner bought it in good faith thinking it was authentic so that's where the trail really ends, the poolroom owner trying to help out a roadplayer/dirtbag by buying his "valuable" cue at a decent price and getting burned.
I have never seen a copy of a Southwest with a cactus on it that's just brazen theft if you ask me, I can't believe someone would go to those lengths. Many cuemakers started out or have made a Southwest "looking" cue at some point in their career as they are very pleasing to the eye, but the logo/ trademark infringement goes to far which is why I didn't really blame them for keeping the cue. For all I know they could be building a case against a known forger and they are using it as evidence, I'm not going to call them and stick my nose where it isn't wanted though.

Forgive me for asking, (perhaps its obvious to everyone else) but what exactly does this post mean?
Are you saying that the original poster, the cue owner, and all else in this thread who think that Laurie's actions weren't appropriate... that we're all wrong?
I'm confused.

Well if in fact it is Laurie's actions that are in question, then YES! Laurie is a very good business woman with unquestionable ethics IMHO! And if it is in fact Laurie who's holding the cue, I'd bet it was in order to show it to her attorney and see what could be done to remedy the situation. If this cue is going to be evidence in a court case, I wouldn't expect it to be returned any time soon! I think people here have blown this WAY out of proportion and given it much too much in the way of opinions. Don't think they don't confiscate phony Oakley's, or Tommy Hillbillys or other designer items. I've seen them load up van loads of the stuff!
Dude, Tommy Hillfiger has never confiscated anything in his life. It is wrong. Who cares about the cue since it is fake, but she is in the wrong. If it is the quality of fake she is concerned with then she should be responsible for replacing the pin. She could even photograph it for record or request permission from the owner to show to the authorities.
Withholding property that is not yours without legal approval is not right.

I'm not going to sit here and pretend I know all the intimate details of this transaction gone awry. I don't. I'd be willing to bet that there are quite a few details were AREN'T hearing. But...
If the story rings true as told, that no explanation or compensation was offered and you think that is acceptible, I would have to seriously question your business ethic.
