So I play for my trip to vegas today, win the trip. Team decides to go to a mall and check out some team shirts. I drive my Jeep, me and my buddies cues are in the back seat foot area and I put some news papers and stuff over the cases to make them not visible from the outside. We go into the mall, have a bite to eat, look at some shirts.

Come back to the vehicle about an hour later and I turn the key in the lock and it turns too easy as if it is unlocked, I then notice the small corner window is broken with a big hole in it easy to fit a hand in and unlock the vehicle.

So my heart immediately drops into my stomach, I have a $4000 custom Bernie Mikkelson with 3 shafts and 22 carat gold inlays and two other cues, my buddy has about $2k in cues himself and I am immediately thinking they are long gone. I open the door and low and behold my cue case is there, I grab it and open it up not believing this, the cues are all there, my buddies case is there as well with all cues intact.

Cannot for the life of figure out what they took until an hour later I finally notice my cell phone which was dead and I left in a cup holder is gone. Contract expires on the 19th of this month and it was already canceled. Doubt the guy even had time to first find a charger, charge it, and then use it and now it is blocked.

So some guy smashed my window, unlocked the door, opened it, stole a uncharged canceled cell phone I could give a flying fig about, and they left over $6000 worth of cues sitting in the back that became a whole lot more visable once the door was open.

I am out a $100 repair on my Jeep and I am feeling like I just won the lotto.
 
its the strangest feeling when you think your cue is gone... your heart drops right down to your feet.

im sorry that your out the $100 for the window, but that was the best one i heard for a long time, bums like that, that are always out looking for the easy way out in life , to lazy to work to get their own stuff and to have nice things, would not have even known what they had and the actual value of cue's .just shows you theives have no taste ! probably ause they can't steal it ! l:thumbup:

I had a similar experience over 20 years ago, I had a Meucci Original in my back window which was darkly tinted so you couldn't really see what was in there and someone smashed my drivers window in and stole my radar detector but left my cue in the back window and a case of about 100 cassettes on the back floorboard which used to cost about 8 to 10 bucks apiece back in the day.

The Meucci was worth a lot to me back then I would have been sick to lose it.
 
Thieves!

Celtic, I'm glad the thieves didn't get the cues!
You should notify someone at the Mall about this so they can take a LQQK at their Video and see if maybe a license plate or identification of the individuals maybe made, I'm sure the thieves Troll the area frequently!

I feel you on this. I have three such stories.

One - our car was broken into and they stole two bowling balls and left my wallet with $700 in it.

Two - my car was broken into and they left the cues and stole a worthless 20" monitor - the heavy big kind from 15 years ago that I was taking to the recycling place.

Three - my friend's car was broken into in Holland and they stole his CD case and left two dealer cases with more than $30,000 worth of cues inside.

and Four, not a car story but also in Holland, we had just come back from doing shows in America and my partner had over $40,000 in cash in a knapsack and we left the cafe and he left it there. It wasn't until an hour later that he realized and went back and it was still sitting there................

Sometimes you do get really lucky. Good for you and your teammates Celtic!!! And congrats on winning the trip to Vegas.

That one made me laugh, they likely thought it was valuable since your car was locked, reminds me of the guy that had a working freezer he wanted to get rid of so he put it out on the curb with a 'free' sign on it and it sat there for 3 days so he replaced it with a sign that said $100.00 and someone took it that night.

It's so funny that you posted that. The wife and I just did this over the weekend. We had a dryer that still worked, but just wanted to give it away. It sat in front and on Craigslist for about a week with no interest, I joked about putting a for sale sign on it. I put $50 on it on Friday night and this morning I left for the pool room and it was gone. ha ha. Guess the "Free, Works Great" sign was not convincing enough.

Reminds me of a neighbor that had a liter of puppies that he wanted to give away. He posted a sign, "Free Puppies" and after a week did not have any takers. The next week he placed an ad in the paper, "Puppies for sale, $50.00". The puppies all sold in a few days.
 
Sounds like a good omen for your team in Vegas. Maybe the pool gods are giving you an early sign. Better make it worth their while. :)

BS...
He just emptied out the luck barrel. THere isnt any thing left in the tank to pay for those good rolls!



Serioulsy.... wow...
 
One night when I was about 16 I was running from the cops across a railroad bridge that was over water. The cops were about 100 feet behind me. Just as I got even with the bank of the river they started shooting. I dove over the 4-foot railing and landed on my back in some cattails and a few inches of water. I felt this sharp pain in my back and thought I was shot. I thought the cold water running down my back was blood.

After I managed to get away I went in the back of a bar where I knew the owner. When he came in the back and lifted my shirt he found a piece of a cattail had puntured my back and pulled it out. A band aid and a week later I was all healed. Johnnyt
 
Who cares about all the BS about the cue ball. A good update on players and action going on would be helpful. All this space used on talk about cue ball.
