Frankie Hernandez stolen cues

If you have an expensive cue I highly suggest calling your insurance company and purchasing a personal articles policy. They're not very expensive (mine is $30 a year), come with a zero deductible and cover most perils, including theft. Even if you claim them through your homeowners it's subject to your deductible - and most homeowners policies now come with a $1,000 deductible.

The thief has only been identified but not really "caught," and Frankie definitely didn't get his stuff back I don't think based on what is on his facebook page that I saw.

My understanding, and I could have misunderstood some parts, was that Frankie's cues and case were all stolen from his truck (along with an ipad and some baseball equipment). A few days later people saw the cues and case for sale on a guy's facebook page for $20 for the whole lot of the pool stuff and let Frankie know, who in turn called the police. Police took a report, but estimated the total value of the items at $900, which in Frankie's opinion was done to keep it from being a more serious theft charge (above $1000) which would add to the serious crime statistics for NYC if it were above $1000 and NYC is trying to show a reduction in serious crime, hence their "cooking the books" on what charges they file if they can get away with it so they can make it look like serious crime is down.

The police basically also told Frankie that they can't prove that this guy stole his stuff, or even that he has Frankie's his stuff, or even that the stuff in the pictures is even Frankie's stuff because they don't believe that Frankie can positively ID the stuff from just the photo and so there isn't anything they can do to pursue in anyway until Frankie can get a solid ID on it in person somehow.

Within a day of Frankie filing the report the guy who is the suspect went to court for sentencing on another charge and got a 1 to 3 year sentence and is currently locked up on that unrelated business. The police need to have Frankie be able to ID the stuff in person by either seeing it himself or maybe someone else buying it from the guy and giving it to Frankie to ID before they can pursue it but that isn't looking so likely since the guy will apparently be in jail for a while. Frankie said he was going to contact the guy's friends and family listed on facebook to see if maybe they have access to it and will let him look at the items or something along those lines and that is where things stand at the moment from what I can tell.

Edit: I see that somebody has quoted part of what he said on facebook above while I was typing my post.

That sounds like a previous mayor of St Louis "reduced crime". He just gamed the stats.

Meanwhile I'm not advocating this but I'm familiar with a case in which a guy did something to a girl and some of the girl's relatives with outstanding warrants turned themselves in to the PD so they could get locked up with the guy.
 
I think Frankie should get a paralegal to get his cue back...
...he can get a lot of witnesses that it is his cue.
..and tournament pictures and videos.

What I don't want to see is Frankie running into the guy when the sentence is done...
..Frankie would be doing more time than the thief...:eek:
