I somehow have left it there or someone has taken my Scruggs sneaky pete at Mickey's pool room in Vegas. My memory is a little foggy from that night / morning but this happened on the 20th/21st of Dec. when I last played there. I just opened my case for the first time on Wed. night to clean my shafts and it was not in there and its not at the poolroom. What I'm hoping is that someone knows where it is or who may have taken it so I can get it back without filing a complaint.
The cue does not have a joint collar or a butt plate so yes its a True Sneaky Pete and TS logo is hard to notice but it's still on the butt. Hoping something good comes out of this.
Thanks in advance . Jeff
 
Can't Imagine The Horror.....OMG.

You just described what has to be the worst imaginable feeling for any pool player......you haven't any reason to have thought back about the night in question until you open you case.....and that's the feeling of horror that reaches out and grabs you right by the nuts....and a feeling of queasiness starts in your stomach..........yup, been there, done that.......and you replay things over and over and all you get is annoyed and angry with yourself.

Beating yourself up works for awhile because when you do stop, it feels good. I know that sounds dumb and stupid but it's a normal thing to do and eventually you get to the point where you just accept what happened. But once you get pass that threshold, now you just get angry thinking about it because you know someone has your cue. They know it's not theirs and maybe they don't know it belongs to you but it sure don't belong to them.......so bring the cue back where you either found or took the cue.

The problem is when it's the latter reason, the person is just a thief and so there's little hope of that happening. Now it's a matter of recovery through letting others know your cue is missing, just as you've done. If you have any photos, get them up as soon as possible. I do hope you have good fortune in recovering your cue quickly.

I have seen things like this happen at least a few times. A true sneaky left leaning against a chair or the wall gets picked up by a waitress or a worker and placed in the wallabushka rack or picked up by a customer until someone discovers it's a 2 piece sneaky. Then it gets taken home. I'm afraid that at this point your best option is place an ad simply stating that your offering a reward for your "hustler" cue left at this room. Discribe the cue as having the initials 'TS' and it has great sentimental value. Then hope it was picked up by someone that isn't aware of what they have. If you mention Scruggs (if there's any chance you'll get back at all) it'll likely be gone forever.
That really sucks, hope it turns up
 
Thanks for the reply's and I know what you mean. I was just hoping someone who found it (if they didn't take it) would have turned it in to the house but still holding out hope. Jeff
 
very sorry to hear this.

tough odds for recovery but you never know.

I'm assuming you already called management/lost & found at every place you were that night, plus your hotel.

best,

Same thing happened to me about 6 weeks ago

Click to expand...

I know there are no words that I can say to make you feel one bit better, so I wont.
I did the same thing not to long ago except the bar tender found it and gave my cue to the owners to hang on to it.

I was truly blessed that I got cue back and didn't have to hate myself and the hole damn world for the rest of my life..........................................................................
Or if I seen it in someone else's hands I wouldn't have to kill them their friends and all there family members.

I was even depress because then I would have to pic out another cue to play with.

Thank God someone was honest and found it for me, saving me from myself.
Because I was thinking Santa might of snagged it and I was going to have to open a can of whoop ass on him and his wimpy looking rain deere.

So if you take up a collection to replace your old cue put me down for twenty bucks.

Sorry for your loss and don't let it get under your skin Like I would of.

Put up a reward for the cue, if it was ripped off their low life friends will turn him in.

I got $20 on the replacement Scruggs, but I would like more of the daubachery story on how it was left behind.
