Yeah..... the device costs $50 but the tracking service costs $25.00 for a monthly subscription & annual is $15.00/mth.That's unfortunate. I never leave my cues in a vehicle but if I did I'd consider one of these.

I didn't know that. In that case don't leave your cues in the car.Yeah..... the device costs $50 but the tracking service costs $25.00 for a monthly subscription & annual is $15.00/mth.
Scott, hope lesson learned. Dont leave cues in car, just asking for some a$#hole to steal themThis is my first opportunity to get online and post this here. Last Monday night, in front of my room at the Red Roof Inn in Lafayette LA, someone got into my vehicle and stole my Garmin GPS and worse, stole my JBCases 4x8 full-zippered Orange ostrich leather cue case with all my cues in it. I had both of my Samsara cues, my break cue, my jump cue, and 10 different shafts, including 3 Revos, 1 Becue, McDermott G-Core, Tiger ProX, and the original shafts that came with my Samsara cues. I did make a police report, but I don't have much faith that much will come of it. For any of you in Lafayette (and I know there are several) please keep an eye out, and your ear to the ground regarding any news of these cues. I am offering a $500 cash reward (no questions asked) for the return of the case and cues. If anyone has any information, please call me at 773-551-7473. Thanks in advance for any help.

A story like Scotts though is a lesson for everyone.I think one of the worst pieces of advice to offer Scott is don’t leave your cues in the car. Jeez, don’t ya think he already thinks that? He is out his cues that he works hard to collect, plus his case and accessories. Thousands of dollars gone plus the inability to replace cues that are rare, expensive and one of a kind. Besides, he chose those cues because he liked the way they play. He could have had any other cues but he chose those because he liked them the best.
Telling him to remember to close that barn door after losing all of the horses is like rubbing salt in a wound. Don’t
ya think he feels lousy enuf already but to hear naysayers write that you learned a lesson is akin to telling someone
who just lost a friend or loved one to lung cancer….Well, I warned him to quit smoking years ago…..Duh? Scott’s
experience should be used as a reason why the industry needs to get off its ass and start a national pool cue
registry. Cue owners should be able to register their cues with photos and lost or stolen cues can be identified by the
cue owner on the registry. We need to make it harder to sell or pawn stolen cues. But offering Scott Monday morning
quarterback advice accomplishes squat by to telling him the obvious that he’s learned the hardest way possible.
I have some expensive cues and if they were stolen, I carry insurance as a rider on my insurance. If any of my cues
or worse, all of them were stolen, I’d get enough money that I could go buy a new car. But I don’t want a car and I don’t
want the cash value from insurance either. The money was spent a long time ago. What I’d want are my cues back. The
ones I collected because they are special & special does not get replaced very easily, at least not to my way of thinking.
Scott, I hope the tide turns and someone gets caught trying to pawn your cues and you recover your equipment.
unfortunate,
im glad i play sneaky petes incase something like this happens
When I used to run around I had a mid-priced Palmer cue that I actually played really good with I would take with me..Me, too. I leave my cue out in the pool room when hitting the bar or bathroom. Never had a problem.
But my butt is taped with black duct tape and has half a butt cap on it so it's not very desirable. My fear is some newbie will think it's a house cue and take it and abuse it.
Scott, the Cue Expo is in DSM next month. Perhaps your cues will show up there?

Yes it is……an important one too…..but presentation is very important.A story like Scotts though is a lesson for everyone.
I agree, that is why I used so few words. No one needs to restate the obvious.Yes it is……an important one too…..but presentation is very important.
It is just difficult for me to justify insensitivity about the overall incident.
If it were you, do you want a group of people reminding you what you
shoulda, coulda, woulda done differently after you already have suffered?
Telling someone the blatantly obvious is not offering advice, at least not
helpful advice. It is an irritating reminder about your grief and anger over
what occurred. It doesn’t offer one tiny bit of emotional support or help.
Anyway, that’s my take on this and though there’s a lesson for others to
derive from Scott’s misfortune, let’s remember that he’s a victim. You do
not tell a woman who just was raped it’s a bad idea to stay at a bar til it
closes because there are men out there that stalk women……Duh? My
goodness…..try wearing Scott’s moccasins for a little while before writing.
You and I are on the same page about Scott’s misfortune.I agree, that is why I used so few words. No one needs to restate the obvious.
