I'm glad so many AZ ers have viewed my thread and in hopes a lot more will ,to get the word out on my case.I'm just surprised that I have no feedback?
 
I will keep keeping an eye out for it. I am surprised you haven't heard anything too. It is one of a kind and if anyone sees it they know it is yours. I am guessing he/she is keeping it far underground. Hope this has a good outcome.

Thanks

Thanks for your concern, just maybe someone may see it some time.
 
nfortunately, something so valuable, (or will be in time), so unique, and so noticeable, will be put "away" for many, many years before it sees daylight again. This is the type of collectable that will only become more valuable as time passes. I wouldn't be surprised if this case gets passed along within the thiefs estate.

No way such a one of a kind piece gets offered to sale to anyone in the general public, either at a trade show, pool hall or ebay.

Sorry for your loss, but I suspect your case will remain unrecovered in our lifetime.

We need to keep the thread in view at all times. Bump it to page one until this case is recovered.
 
Les,
Hopefully, you'll recover it. I would suspect some crack-head or petty theif stole it and will try to sell it because it would be no use to them just stowed away somewhere. When criminals steal something, most of the time its so they can fence it off for dope, cigs or booze. It meant so much to you, but your treasure was nothing special for the idiot who stole it. Again, hopefully, you'll get it back once it's circulated around for a while.
good luck!

WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THIS THREAD FRESH BUT NOT TO WEAR EVERYONE OUT..
 
Do you have any pics of the case? Not that we would need to see it to recognize it, but I would just like to see such a case. It's hard to believe that you could fit 109 signatures on a case. Don't get me wrong, I am not calling you a liar. I am from the Wichita area and will keep my eye open for your case.

Good luck

good man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The fact that the custom cue was left behind, leaves me to believe that the thief has plenty of cues, but wanted those signatures for some reason. I can't imagine someone stealing that case, but yet another lesson learned in human nature, and I do believe in karma.
 
Keep On
