A Terrible Loss: My Art Fawcett Beauty

[Ande1964]

Damn!

I'm reminded of John Travolta talking about someone keying his car in Pulp Fiction.

"I wish I coulda caught him doing it. It woulda almost been worth him doing it if I coulda caught him doing it."

Hang em...

...high. It you shouldn't touch another man's hat, what should stealing one get you?:rage:

 

[Sefton]

Post some photos of the hat let us know what initials are punched into the sweatband so if it does turn up on Ebay we can tip off the authorities. So sorry to hear about this.

WoW....that Bites !

That stings just thinking about it! The theif probably doesn't even realize what he has!

In addition to the pawn shops, watch ebay for the next couple of months. It might pop up there. Sometimes criminals are really dumb.

Sorry for your Loss man, but Indy and Bogart13 are right.

Thats the pits, years ago when I lived in Atlanta, my car was broken into. I had just run into the convenience store to pick up a pack of smokes. I had two Falcons tickets laying on the passenger seat and would you believe that some jerk broke in and left two more?

Sorry Lawman, just trying to add a bit of levity to a bad situation. In fact my car was broken into in Atlanta. They jerks took my rain coat and a fedora and a cb radio. My biggest loss was the busted windows, they tried both sides.

Prayers from my neck of the woods also.

Stolen ART work! LOL That's great Cookie.

Sorry for the loss Lawman.

I cant stand thieves or liars!

Well, if it makes you feel any better at all, my youngest daughter caught another girl breaking into her Chevelle a couple months ago. She almost beat her senseless.

The police applauded her actions and sent her on her way, taking the low life would-be car thief with them.lol

Regards! Michaelson

 

[DOUGLAS]

That is too sad but if you look around long enough I'm sure you will find the dumb $#!t* wearing it. HAPPY HUNTING

Pirate Day

Douglas, glad to see you're celebrating Pirate Day in style. I saw my neighbor walking his Portuguese Water Dog named Pirate this morning and had to explain to him that it was his dog's day!fftopic:

My sympathy on your loss . . .

Almost makes me thing that hanging really is too good for 'em.

 

[Ecuador Jim]

I have a friend in San Diego who also caught the thief in mid-theft. He hurt the guy enough that he wasn't going to be breaking into cars for awhile.

Sorry for your loss. I hope you find it.

 

[Razzman]

Sorry Lawman. It's difficult to comprehend why these bottom feeders take personal items. I hope your insurance covers the loss of the stolen property as well as the damage to the vehicle.

 

[Riley Dee]

Sorry to hear it.

Lawman, that is terrible I really hope Karma returns the favor to that lowlife creep!

 

[fedoralover]

A couple years ago I remember seeing a post at Club Obi Wan where a guy was wearing his Indy fedora and a guy ran up behind him and grabbed it off his head and took off through the crowd and down the street never to be seen again. It's made me cautious when I'm out and about and I see a group of youths behind me. With the justice system the way it is people are more inclined to take a chance knowing that they won't get much punishment even if they are caught, unless it's by the owner.

[Benny Holiday]

Sorry to hear that Lawman. I hope the perpetrator(s) are caught, and your goods are returned to you.

 

[Boris K]

Sorry to hear of the loss. Let's hope you can recover the hat at least.

Check the High Schools

Not that high schoolers would commit a crime like this but you may want to send pix of the hat to the local principals. I know they are busy but they know what goes on at the schools. A hat like that would be easy to spot.

That is AWFUL news! In reality though, I couldn't see a teenage hoodlum wearing a fedora, so more than likely if they know what a nice quality beaver felt is worth, they will take it to a pawn shop. Definitely get some pictures and pass them around. Art's hats are so unique and one of a kind, so you will definitely recognize it if you see it on the street.

Hang in there, I can only imagine how such a loss could feel. :eusa_doh:
