CUE INVENTORY STOLEN- South Bend Ind.

Dave from D&D Cues called me this morning to inform me that his Trailer had been broken into and all his Cues, Cases, and equipment had been stolen. The only thing they left him with was the Lathe and equipment/supplies that were locked in it's cabinet. He has no internet access to post this himself so I'm trying to get the word out ASAP.

Dave had my complete inventory of Cues with him. About 50 or so cues. He also had a large inventory of Sterling Cues and Cases.

ANYONE in that area that can contact local pawn shops or otherwise help out would be much appreciated.

As for MY Inventory: It is documented on my webpage here:
http://ncsdc.com/Cues/BilliardGallery.htm

There were 24 Jacksons, a few Vikings left, Helmstetters, Malis, and Sterlings... but mostly you should be able to recognize the JACKSON cues. They aren't really a common cue-maker, so someone with several of them would be suspect. Especially if they don't know much about the company. Some are 1-of-a-kind and will be identifiable as "ours" because they vary from the production cues. If you see or hear of ANYONE selling (several) Jackson, Viking, Hemstetter, or Malis... try to get a name/number contact info etc... ,

**If someone could post to the BD Forum (I'm not on there yet).. or any other Billiard Forum they can think of. ... PLEASE Help us out.

Thanks,
Dave from D&D

I had my case and three cues stolen out of my truck a few weeks ago... now I don't feel so bad. :(

I assume you guys have called the police?

I hope these bastards get caught.
 
Police notified.. already looks like they don't give a sh*t

Yes, the police were called immediately..

Of course the first thing they say is "we don't expect to be able to find these guys"... I guess it must be to cover themselves...

But, I wish they'd at least lie and say "We'll get right on it"... instead of immediately indicating their low "expectations"...

Thats weird.. someone breaks in to steal viking, viper, varner, etc.

I guess easier to sell production cues than breaking in to steal someones black boar collection.

Still stupidly sad though. Sorry to hear.
 
I'll keep my on the lookout for them...South Bend is about an hour away...someone may come around looking to offload them...I'll spread the word around aswell...
 
Yes, that is strange, I had some cues stolen awhile back, whitch i recieved all but one back...one shaft was banged up pretty bad, but it wasnt a total loss..I hope the athorites there take the situation as serious as they did here, both guy's were caught in a couple weeks....

Like they knew what was in there??? I don't get your point... The website is just of MY STUFF that was stolen... not his inventory also.

Oh... and guess what? The Vipers, excalibers, varners... were almost all sold..I guess they didn't have any value.... They might have not been worth stealing to you.... :rolleyes:
I just haven't updated the website in awhile... since Dave has been carrying them to shows for me...

I guess $30K worth of cues, and equipment isn't worth getting too excited about....

Your right I should just forget about it.... :mad:

I have a lucasi Le 18 I believe, I recently sent to a cue maker on az to get the joint fixed, I noticed you have one on your site, is it for sale? id like to have a matching pair, my son, he likes that lucasi in perticular and I have been wanting another one so he can have a matching pair, with this in mind the joint on his cue now will be differnt from the production to designate it as "the playing cue"...he still needs the matching break cue so please drop me a line if its for sale...

Sorry to hear about your stuff. I am down in cetral Indiana, half way between Ft. Wayne and Indy. I'll get word out and keep a lookout too. Best of luck to you.
 
I am sorry to hear about your loss. I will keep an eye out for any unsavory cue sellers at my events. Please send me a list of the stolen cues to vikingtour2@yahoo.com also include any pics.

Stories like this remind why I lug cue case after cue case into my hotel room every night while I am on the road.

Typically yes people know what they're stealing before going through the effort. Do you think someone who doesnt know anything about bowling balls would break in and steal a trailer full of bowling balls? Cues arent much different.

And a production cue will be easier to sell than a custom cue.. so that's true too.

I didnt say or imply you should just forget about it and yes it is worth a lot of money which is why i said that someone doing that is sad and I was sorry to hear.

Nothing is worth stealing to me. I understand you're upset but dont be a pr!ck. And even if you insist on being one I still hope you get your belongings back.
