$2,000.00 Reward For stolen Cognoscenti Cue.. Please Read!

John Barton said:
And I hope she feels guilty every time she hits a ball with that cue. She is worse than the thief because she made us all accomplices in her robbery. She perpetrated a crime just as surely as did the original thief. The difference is that our laws call it a civil matter instead.

That won't happen. She bought another cue and doesn't use the cogs anymore, or at least someone said that. I believe it was a $1700 Judd cue she purchased- she clearly had no intent of ever paying the reward and probably still doesn't.

If everyone gets pics out of that cue- make sure no one ever buys it. It would serve her right if the cue just rots in a case.

I am wondering why we have yet to hear from Rick or anyone on the forum that knows him. :confused: I believe Pizza Bob had mentioned speaking with him a while back. I feel that the lack of closure to this situation might be a deterent to someone else stepping up in a similar situation and doing the right thing as Rick did.

I have posted several times, having heard the full story from Rick. We talked about it in VF. It's Rick's business if he chooses to pursue any avenue...not ours. Rick did the right thing, and unfortunately got screwed. I know both parties, but I have no idea why Gina did not pay the reward, as it was offered.

This becomes a "mind your own business" situation for all of us. Rick is in the driver's seat. If he chooses to stay on the sidelines, he should be respected for that.

If this "situation" is over, she has refused to pay, and Rick got stiffed on the whole deal, we need to find a way to make it right for him. I'm willing to send dollars to aide, but it would be nice to hear the final outcome.

I'm sorry but I disagree. If it is none of our business, it is none of our business.:p As Scott said Rick has choosen to handle it as he sees fit. He oviously feels he does not need our help.

Bingo.....regardless of whether or not Rick would take dollars....and if he won't, that's his choice.....but I'd still like an accurate accounting of the events and why promises weren't met.....people need to know and be able to learn from the lack of character shown....

I'm just wondering, AZB helped a victim (Gina) and then created another victim (Rick). Am I wrong with my logic?

You're not really saying that AZB is culpable in this??

7-11 posts a missing dog reward in the window, are they liable for a welched reward offer?

I'm not saying that AZB is liable. My apologies if I worded it wrongly. It's just that the victim has now shifted to another person.

To my eyes, "we" meaning the AZB community are done here.

She owes Rick and everyone knows it, What more can or should we do?

We can keep this thread alive and on the front page while we continue dog cussing her until she does the right thing. IMO
 
She won't pay unless the law makes her. Which they won't. Best thing we can all do is blackball her everytime someone sees her at a bar, poolhall, tournament, show....anywhere in public.

I hope Karma bites her in the tail.

Does anyone have Ms. Knight's email address or home address?


Those that wish to, could write and communicate their feelings.

Dave-

You're right. The AZ community is done here... to a degree. As far as monetary compensation to help Rick recover the financial loss he sustained in this ordeal, it is not our place to do such, the same as it was not our place to reimburse anybody when shevchenko's Purpleheart and Purpleheart South West was grabbed by customs/USPS/whomever or any one of number of other deals that have gone sour here. It happens. And it sucks when it does happen but that doesn't mean that we have to be the peace corps of the billiard community and go and reimburse everyone who gets screwed.

What we can do is continue to shine the spotlight on those who are responsible in these given situations in the hopes that others will see the true nature of those responsible, in this case Gina (and to a degree, Eydie).

AZ is NOT responsible for the crime nor is it responsible for providing compensation for any funds lost. Gina made a promise. Eydie extended that promise to the world. Gina then went back on her word. There will likely never be justice in this case but regardless, the community needs to know what to expect when they deal with Gina and Eydie. It may not be as it seems.

In my opinion the community needs to know to expect controversy when they read your posts. :p :( Eydie is not responsible for the reward not being paid. All she did was convey a message to the community. It was not her promise. It was Gina's promise.

Pharoah,
I agree that the reward-offering person should be shunned.

I however, also think there is no sympathy due to someone who bought a stolen cue. If you are not sure of the lineage of a cue, DON'T BUY IT. All of those people who continuously deal in used cues are providing a thriving outlet for people who steal cues. Sorry to have to say it.

Until they have pink slips for cues or some kind of registration; I'm NOT going to buy anything used unless it's from a buddy I can trust. I've had a cue stolen, and I'm not going to support the cue-stealers. If you want to be a "cue collector" or a "used cue dealer"; then you are part of the problem; not the solution. Feel free to rationalize it any way you wish; but that is how I feel. JMO.

Agreed. This was a nightmare for Eydie on so many levels. Completely unfair to blame her.
