Yes, but the only reason I got it back was there was a witness who saw the thief. I hunted for him for 24 hours straight and finally one of his friends turned him in. Actually his friend went and got the cue from the thief and brought it to me. Both of them are nice guys. One was just a thief. The thief said he thought the cue belonged to someone else who had boosted his cue three months prior and he was just getting back at them.
