My Nortel SSQ was stolen last night here in Calgary. It is one of the older ones, a brass body with light blue paint.
:bangHead:
What a bummer this thread is so active lately! :twitch: Best of luck tracking these a-holes down.
I just found it sitting outside my shop this morning. I have my torch back.
I need to go do some "paperwork" to celebrate.
Wow thats very cool. Its great to see a happy ending to one of these for once. :D

i know how thieves can just tear shit up for no reason...

that, i think i will have to go on prozack...
my renter just moved out, owing me $380...
and the little shit head was fired from his job for
a fight that he started... that means that the cops
will be coming to my house, looking for his ass...
they will probably have a warrant in hand to search
for him sense, it is a felony to fight in this state if,
the other person has to see a doctor because of it...

i think i need a big dog to give my back yard tooo...:tantrum:
Who are you calling a theif? They were just borrowing it!Quote:

The population has more than doubled in the past twenty years with the oil boom, and the paper has 8 pages of ads for jobs, and a half page of rentals. Not mellow at all, but I am having fun.Quote:

I know these stories rarely turn out well, so I thought I'd share an update.
On the previous page there's a story about this clownshoe named Wes who jacked my partners whole shop - kiln, torches, tanks, tools, raw glass, finished pieces... the works. My partner caught him shortly after at one of the other shops in town trying to sell some of the stuff, but let him get away (man I wish I'd been there). Well we recently heard through the grapevine that he was back in Hot Springs, and a few calls and emails led us to the guy he's been working for. He had told some bullshit story about how he got all this stuff from a court decision (ya right), but once the real deal was explained and he was confronted with the truth, he admitted to it.
Apparently after leaving Texas he went to Cali for awhile and lost most of the finished pieces getting robbed at gunpoint (ironically funny, if true), and the raw glass is long gone, but most of the gear is accounted for. So the shop owner there got it all boxed up and after sending him the money for shipping, he mailed it all back. UPS dropped it off today, so despite some losses it all worked out ok. :D Shortly after finding out about this his new boss caught Wes selling an under-the -table custom piece, and said thats enough for me I'm not trusting this guy any further either... so beware, he's back out there somewhere looking for his next place to work.. I mean rip off.
nice Phantom on ebay, being sold out of Fort Collins, CO. appears to be a pawn shop, so just thought I'd post a what if your miss you torch in CO.
I hate being suspicious of everyone, but this guy on ebay, has a CC, and a lot of tools starting at 500 bucks. Says he's tired of blowin but the torch only has 20 hours on it. Just a heads up.

nice :)
good to hear things find their way home
We had a break in on Christmas Day
They cut the lines on CJ's brand new Carlisle cc. The wired thing is that they passed up my laptop, camera, stereo etc and went straight for the torch; so we think it was someone who new what they wanted not just your normal crackhead type.
Reward for its return.
We are also having a benefit show to raise money for a new torch for him so if you find yourself around St. Petersburg, FL on the 18th come on by and show some support.
fucked up, best of luck barefoot and don't hesitate to report that because the longer you wait the harder it is to get it back.
