bummer!!

will keep an eye out, ebay and craigslist are usually where they end up.

make sure you send that serial number to VS also just in Case it gets sent in for service at some later date...then it can be reverse investigated

Stolen from where,Don?

Sorry to hear about the theft.

To keep track of reels being posted for sale on craigslist, google:

"van staal" site:craigslist.org

Good luck.

I was just with him and Doug on Saturday and he was using it, when and where did it get lifted?

update!! with the help of some of you we were able to get a paper trail from thieve to innocent buyers. rather than pursue legal action against the lying thieve at this time mike's trying to get enough restitution to buy back from end buyer, mike thanks you all.

nice!

Taco Mike!!!!:jump1:

I am happy he got his reel back and hope the thief gets just punishment

What a scum bag and a true success story on gettin it back.
When I saw this post, I at first thought it was a joke given the serial number. I was waiting to get my reel back from River's End. Thought it was gonna be here yesterday, but finally got here today...Thought it had gotten intercepted.....Serial number 14780........I guarantee mine isn't as pretty as your buddy's.......

I hope it all works out to his getting the reel back undamaged and without significant money lost.

Good. Glad it is on track. If more people were as nice as Mike, world would be a better place.

Happy to hear the news. Mike is a good guy

So,uh,stolen from where,Don?

fr, westport area. case closed :).

Glad to hear you buddy got it back, not always the case!

even though the case is closed, black eyes should be administered

Best to just let it go if the reel is recovered. Same scum who would steal a reel would be the first to go to the law and probably sue if you popped them one, even though I agree they deserve it.

I hope its not someone from this site. If it is they should be banned! This is an awesome community and RifRaf shouldn't be allowed.

There's a website where if you post a story about getting ripped off by someone with backup as to it really happening, they will make the persons life absolutely miserable.

It's a group of internet vigilantes that can make someone's life a living hell.
