...have dropped an expensive piece of chalk down the pocket of a Diamond table.

I have done it about three times and have been able to retrieve two. Now, I've kinda trained myself to be more careful but sheet-at happens. Just a couple of days ago a brand new piece of green Pyro came tumbling down the ball return -- so sad for someone but then I'm just around break even, lol.

I use a magnetic chalk holder (currently using the Pagulayan chalk holder with my Pagulayan chalk). Not to tempt the pool gods, but I’ve never dropped a piece in the pocket, because it’s always on the holder except when I’m chalking and I don’t chalk over the table.

No but.... I moved back to S.Dak. after 25 years in the DFW. 1 decent hall in Sioux Falls , Rack City , anyways I called a buddy back in Texas and told him Jack Hines would love this place keys,phones,cues,and wallets just laying around.

All that and some guys steal my Pagulyon chalk. But I did find a new piece in the chalk box at the counter.

Left a pag with mag holder on the rail last week. Noticed it yesterday. Someone scored.

My very organized girlfriend has made me labels with my name and number on them. I put them on things like my chalk, moose head bridge, extension. It doesn’t stop a determined thief but does help a good person get you back your stuff! Plus I think most people are less inclined to just pocket it if they actually know who they are stealing from rather than treating it like a found $20 bill on the floor.
