I'm happy to report that about an hour ago, I got a call from the local police
to tell me that they "RECOVERED MY CUES" all 3k worth WHOOHOO!

the day after they were stolen I went around to EVERY pawn shop within 35 miles and dropped off pics and a description. Today. a guy came in to pawn them. They recognized the case/cues from the pics so they acted like they were headed into the back to "get a value" they called the police and the rest is sweet sweet history.

Turns out, this guy is probably not who stole them, but he somehow ended up with them. who knows if he'll roll over and tell who he got them from. I'm sure he will not want to get stuck with the felony theft charge!!!

wow.. I feel WHOLE again :thumbup:

That's Awesome!
I know how it feels to be on your end of things, and two years later, I'm still hunting the punks and my cues!

Lucky Dog Lucky Dog!!
 
Well, Its good to actually here something on here with a good ending. Congrats on getting your cues back.
 
Congrats on getting your cues back!! It doesn't usually turn out that way.

Lesson learned here should be.....do not leave you cues/case in your vehicle!!! Screw convenience....treat your cue 'babies' as you would treat your child or pet....never leave them in the vehicle.

Sorry...but I have known more people who have had their cues stolen out of their vehicles than I care to think about. If I am going somewhere where I cannot take them with me, then I do not take them.


But it was very cool that you got them back!!! :thumbup:

Wow, that is awesome brother. You dont hear an ending like this to these stories too often. Chalk one up for the good guys. Just as a side note, i'd throw a pork chop to the pawn shop attendant who called the cops, I know it was the right thing to do, but God knows not too many people would have done it in that situation.
 
Great news!

Any chance you got the guy's name from the police?

You might know him or of him.

I do not want to dampen your good news, but.....if someone is charged, and it is set to go to trial, your cues and case will be held as evidence until a determination has been made. It may well be a while before you see them yet.

I had a similar situation with an SLR camera once. Reported it stolen, then located it at a pawn shop. Since the guy who took it admitted to it right away, I got my camera back right away....but I was warned prior that if he did not, it would be held as evidence until it went to trial, and a verdict was handed down.

Just want you to be aware, so that there are no other surprises for you.

Great News for you! Smart thing putting out the pictures of the cue. But what kinda place you live in that you have more than one pawn shop within 35 miles?
