First I would like to thank: Poolcuemaster, Cocobolocowboy and JimS for the excellent advice of dropping off flyers at the nearby poolrooms, offering a reward and asking no questions. Your advice single handedly brought my son's Custom Omen cue, a sneaky pete, a players jump break cue, his 3x5 cue case and his girlfriend's Christmas present-a players cue and alligator hard case back to us.
For those of you who need an update I posted this thread a week ago today. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=84138
I would also like to thank Wheatcues for offering to make my son a custom cue at a discount. I hear he is making my son a snake wood jump/break cue.
I had wanted to write a detailed account of what happened but, my son asked me not to because of the no questions asked which we put on the flyer. Since I believe these to be unsavory people I will honor that request. I can only say that the flyers brought someone forward and a reward was exchanged for the cues 40 miles from our home at 3:00 a.m. last night.
So friends, alls well that ends well...we'll try to keep our testosterone in check....
There are many things we could say about these unsavory people, just one word will suffice, Karma.
