Id hate to think that anyone that shares the love of archery would be a thief, maybe with all the people there, the person that found it just couldnt find the rightful owner.  I know I would have at least brought it to somones attention that was in charge so that they could get the word out.  Who knows, maybe they will join this forum and see this thread.............

Glad to hear Tim found his bow.  Hope your knife pops up Steve.

It'll turn up ;).  I keep having to go back to Twin Oaks to gather up all the stuff I leave everytime I go.

Lucky Tim, James gave him a new bow to replace the one that was lost. ::)

Eddie, do you leave stuff there on purpose so that you have an excuse to go back??? :o

Steve I'm really saddened that this has happened. If I only knew who took it I would go and take it back for you. I've had a cherished old shotgun stolen from me and I was lucky eonugh to get it back. I almost went to prison over it but I got it back. Ron

Steve I will look in the camper tomorrow. I've been being lazy.

  Steve, maybe if you were to retrace your steps right here on the forum it might jog someones memory. Who you showed it to, where you used it last that you remember etc. People think I am crazy but when I loose something I exhaust all my efforts looking for it and asking about it then I say a prayer and let it go, I seem to always find it.

Post by: MWirwicki on May 11, 2012, 11:52:30 pm

I'm sure it'll turn up, Seabass.  Do you remember where you last saw it?  I know that I had stuff all over the place.

Steve, I am so sorry to hear of this situation. You are a great guy with one of the most giving hearts that I've known. Our prayers are that it is returned or found. May post a picture if you have one to help jog peoples memories

Post by: MWirwicki on May 12, 2012, 07:11:02 pm

I new it would be found!  Our neighborhood just doesn't pilfer from one another.  On my "let loose" night, (James P. remembers), I had 2 cameras and gear worth over 4-G's sitting out in the wide open, unattended; not to mention the bows, tools, snake skins, resorcinol, bow blanks, sinew & superglue that I had spread all over the place.  Never worried a bit.   

Good on ya, BearG. 
Happy for you Seabass.

Life is Good!

I'm so happy it turned up!!!  I've wanted to post a few times and offer some encouragement...but I was afraid to post, in fear that you'd see a new post and get your hopes up about it!  Like Cracker said...PLEASE POST SOME PICS!

Wish I  hadn't been lazy and went and looked early.  I was pretty sure that know one had taken it.
I have never worried about anything getting stolen, maybe accidently tools going to wrong bucket.
