A word to the wise when PLAYING POOL

Watch your stuff, and as a friend told me long ago when you are playing Tournament put your Cues, and Case UNDER THE TABLE you are playing at during your turn during tournament play.

Reason is if a stranger (THIEF) wants to steal your stuff, the got to walk up to you table, bend down, and go under the table to commit the crime in front of your very eyes.

I am posting a report on a CUE THIEFT recent I say on another Pool Website.

No Names, or Place where it happen is there to protect the owners identity. But the message was the owners back was turned, and someone went into HIS Case, and stole a CUE!:mad:


"I hate that I seem to post up 2 or 3 different peoples Cue's that magically walk away from it's owner every few months.

*** ******, ******* Regular, had his cues stolen this week.

They were taken right out of his case and the case was closed back up again. He left without knowing they were even gone.

Cue was Made by **** ***** of Oklahoma,

Beautiful Stick with Blue Points on Butt End. 18 Oz

$100 Reward for the Return.":mad::mad::mad:





I love my Cue Claw, but I think I am leaving it home, and using the Under The Table Method to protect myself from becoming another Victim.....
 
yes, and for all you grown men and women out there... here are some other things to consider.....

use the "take your keys out of your car" method to reduce car theft

use the "lock your doors in your home" method to reduce burglaries and home invasions.

use the "don't let your girlfriend go out partying with the town stud" method to reduce being cheated on.

and last but not least.....

use the "common sense" method to survive in today's world:eek:
 
Trust no one!

From growing up in a rather nasty unsavory place I can tell you the best thing is to trust no one. My case and everything in it not in use goes under the table. When I use the washroom it and all equipment go with me. I always leave a pool hall with other folks especially after dark. If you do let a friend watch your cues and they still get stolen do you want to have to deal with the thought that he/she may have been involved? Even if they are not you could end up wondering and who needs that. It is better to be reponsible for your own actions and way less likely you will go home empty handed or with that nagging question, was I set up???
I see WAY TO MANY cues just laying around all the time and I am always amazed...
JMO!!!!

By all means, protect the identity of the innocent victim. Heaven forbid someone has information that could help this guy.

The cowboy has impressed me again!!!!

Yeah, me too. He never fails to astound me with his insight.


BTW- watched The Hurt Locker last night and figured they cast that dude after you.:eek: You crazy bastich.......
 
There are two main places to play where I live. One is a dive nothing gets stolen the other is a nicer place with security personnel, cameras etc. cues are stolen all the time.

I know a guy who bought his cue three different times from the pawn shop. Moral of the story don't be careless with your cues.
 
How about this.
Can an electronics engineer design a chip to go in the cue somewhere and a receiver you can put in your pocket and program it to sound an alarm if your cue is x amount of feet away!
Or as a last resort put a little high explosive in the butt to explode at x amount of feet away? Just kidding about the last one but it would make you feel good.

I like the way you think.

That's the problem with the mall to many claymore mines covering the escalators!
 
Claymore mines! Yup had some experience with them in the Nam back in my Corps days. Just poke one them into the table and put your cue behind it.
For those of you unfamiliar with a claymore just Goggle it and you will get the picture.

All you would need is a electrical blasting cap inserted into the butt of the cue and a .... Guess I better not reveal all my tricks.

Think the idea of when you are playing, and putting your stuff, (case, break cue, jump cue, etc.) under the table your are playing on will stop a lot of theft. That was the only purpose of the post wasto prevent more victims in the AZB community with an idea.
