That’s a good approach.
He did say he’d return it in a couple of days.
And yes. I did lend him my cue. LEND. To be returned. But if you’re that confused about it, can you lend me 5 bucks?

Fred “Scooter” Goodman is a thief. Here’s how he stole from me:
- Thread starter berber
- Start date

In order not to disappoint myself I do not borrow or lend cues. I have given a few away. Off topic I do not offer cues to be sampled as they come back banged up or dinged. I lent a lawnmower to a neighbor...after while he thought it was his. Done.
Was his name Homer Simpson?
I learned the hard way that one should never lend anything to anyone in the pool room, to include cues, if they are okay with never getting paid back and/or, in this case, returned.
There are a few trustworthy souls, fortunately, but they are too far and few in between in the pool world, sad to say. Today, I am owed close to $300 from various sources over the years, never got paid back, and I consider myself lucky. I quit lending money to anyone in the pool room, especially those who enjoy games of stake.
I'm sorry this happened to you.

You thought yourself his "friend". Now you know. Just be glad it only took a shaft to find out the truth.

@maha is spot on
"your first mistake was thinking he was an old friend. second was giving him anything of value."

scooter didnt know who you were when you met again
it means you were never close and any "relationship" was/is all in your head
you may "know" him for 20 years but he didnt know you
For you, not so much other people. No code whatsoever
Known? He didn't know your name, you said it yourself
To be fair to you, it shows you just joined last year, the rest of us have known for years about him and its been discussed many times
This is the guy you lent your cue to "for a few days"? No offense, but you paint this guy as morally bankrupt then you are surprised he victimized you? If I knew all this about this guy, no shot he'd be leaving my sight with anything of mine of value, especially sentimental value. It's been over a year and a half. It's time to come to grips with the fact you'll never see that cue again. Shame on you for letting him "borrow" it.
'a fellow sportsman'. now that's funny. this ain't cricket bud. that dude is just another scuffler pool player. 10 posts in and you're looking for sympathy? why else post this?? there are 'pool people' people i've known over 30yrs that i wouldn't lend a dime to. Confusing a poolhall acquaintance with a real friend usually leads to this.
He's all of 10 posts in AZ, 9 on this one alone. A scuffling gambler did somebody wrong??? Alert the media.
