[discounthunter]

Burvy... sounds like the cats might have know what they were lookin' for in the back of your truck. Since only one saw was taken and the lock was cut. They could have been casin' your rig for some time. Just waitin' for the right time.

I'm actually mad just typin' this out!

Gary

good point,anybody been asking unusuall questions about your stuff lately?

 

[Burvol]

Thanks Fellas

Thank you to all. You guys are too kind to offer me your saws. Makes me know you guys are not deserving of all the ribbing and anal critiquing I do lol. Just kidding. All aside, thanks for thinking of me, boys. I will return the need if it ever shall arise and I can help.

I kinda keep to myself. I don't go to watering holes (taverns) and I just don't have time for alot of socializing outside of the sawshop, landing, or fishing holes if I'm gonna get all my saw work done, reviewing unit maps, getting my riggin' sack ready ,ect and then chasing fish and doing all of that stuff with my gear, eggs, ect... I have a bunch of really good friends that are like family here. They either all fish for salmon and steelhead or fall timber I am out of the "loop" in a broad sense, but I know alot of people throughout the county, and no word yet. I got everyone asking around where to buy a big saw.

 

[056kid]

the time is still right! Hell it was months before I found my stuff, and that was in a city wayyyy bigger than where your at. Well, I DID have a very good idea of who took the stuff from the beginning, but I have faith. . .

So keep at it!!

I have a feeling it'll end up at a local pawn shop. I got a modded 460 stolen out of my pickup when I was in the bank three years ago and I started checking the pawn shops. I found it about ten days later and luckily I knew the shop owner. I spent $100 getting it back and the perp ended up in jail on a theft 3 charge.

 

[056kid]

Be tactful & clever with those crooks that call themselves pawn brokers.

I checked my local shops several times a day. The one that I was almost sure had my stuff denied having bought any "big saws" spesificly a "super 797 McCulloch". By god, they DID have my 797!! it took about 30 visits before they put my old buckingham gaffs on the shelf for sale. thats when I knew I had something. The pawn industry dosent care what they buy, so long as they can turn it over....

BTW. The pawn shop I am talking about is the oldest in the country. L opplemans in Lynchburg VA. #### THOSE DIRTY *******S. . .


More good luck towards you B..

 

[joesawer]

Dang that sucks.
I hope you get it back.
I had a really strong 395 stolen right after I won the stock appearing at Big Bear Ca with it in 07.
But they also got my jack an grinder and a bunch of other stuff.

'spose you're considering a different lock up as well. I've been nicked a time or two of construction tools. One big haul took everything. Lot's of folks bolt a 'Jobox' in the back of their truck. I've use Weatherguard boxes. No guarantees, but a far sight better than nothing. Cable or chain don't amount to much either, in my experience (see 'big haul').

I am thinking a Knack or Greenlee Box with slits cut in it for my saws. These people are really gambling with their life. I would get up from the dinner table and put a bullet in these creature's head if it was at home and go back to eating my supper, and call 911 for a meat wagon. I know I sound on edge, but I am sick of what I see in this world. Pain and misery everday, hard earned living, doing the most to look at the beauty and the light, not the dark. Then these pukes roll around and watch me for who knows how long. That's what bugs me. I am a pretty accomplished hunter; I know the feeling, and I don't like it being me.

 

[teatersroad]

Knack (same co. as weathergaurd) is a bit heavier construction than Greenlee. Ton's of different sizes, if you look online.

I know the anger well, but then I remember that the best thing I can do is concern myself with the kind of person I am, their reckoning will be their own.

 

[coastalfaller]

Good posts both of you, Burv & Teatersroad.

 

[MacLaren]

Im sure you already prolly know this, but keep on the sheriffs dept azz's to keep checking that monthly pawn report they should be gettin. it should be for the whole state. I sure hope it turns up man.

 

[bitzer]

I don't either. Wierd.

Your lures caught some Coho!!! Thanks Bob

About a year and half ago we kept hearing rumors from the neighbors that two white-trash dudes where breaking into people's shops/sheds and stealing tools and stuff. I started locking the doors to the shop for the first time ever. Sure enough a few days later a door was pryed open with a screwdriver. The crazy thing was that nothing was taken. They must have been scared off by something. There were like 8 chainsaws in there and a cut-off saw at the time along with welders, guns, radial and table saws, all types of power tools. Thousands of dollars worth of stuff and nothing missing, just nuts. The next day I beefed up the locks and welded bars to put over the windows. Its a major pita carrying keys all the time now and locking up, but it has to be done. All for some worthless pieces of #### trying to steal stuff to support their habits. I hope the *******s are brought to some kind justice in your case.

I'm glad the lures worked for you man!

 

[Meadow Beaver]

Jesse, does this look anything like your saw?

I hate thieves Im sorry one decided they needed your saw. What experience Ive had with thieves is it was someone that knew you. Or knew your set up. We have some local thieves here that work for the sheriffs dept as informants. As soon as they are caught they let out after a few hours in jail. I had a friend that caught 3 guys in his shop. He held them there at gun point while he called the law. The sheriffs dept came out and arrested them and my friend. THey were out that night. He was held for bail under the charge of unlawful holding against will.


While e was in jail the same thugs came back and cleaned him out. Welders, chop saws, torches and tools. Fortunatly hus brother went to the local pawn shop owned by a retired officer/ crook and bought them back for a small price. It did make me a straong beleiver i nwhat goes around comes around. One thief burnt to death in a car accident, one has stage 4 cancer and the the other one was caught out of state stealing copper where their status wasnt recognized.


I hope you recover your machinery and best wishes.

THIS morning, a man was sitting in his car across from my shop as we left. In a business that wasn't open. In an Industrial area, in 15 degrees. Two days ago the neighbor had some things stolen, (whether they too were guilty or not) and so I called the police. Turns out he was an employee of a maintenance crew coming to do something. I suppose no harm was done, and he must not have had any warrants.

Better safe than sorry?

PS Sorry to hear of this, Mr. Burvol.
