Aletter is on the way from a lawyer friend.
I'll try to get him to send me a copy.

Another forum member knows some IN state officers and si having them look into it.

I surer wish he would come on and straightn this out but I will do what I can untill he does.

I'm sad this has happened. I'd never have thought one of the members on the muzzleloading forum would pull a underhanded deal like this. I hope the authorities get him for a explaination.

sent you a PM

Saxman, this is in no way your fault and to say that you'll pray for him really shows what kind of man that you are. He may have gotten away with what $700 and a rifle but I promise you that he will answer for what he's done, garanteed. For those that donated, please don't let this rare show of gutless theft deter you from helping others in need. That's what makes you the admirable men that you are. And Saxman, don't let this worry you, you just take care of that girl of yours and remember, you did nothing wrong.

I called ISP on the way home from Church
No answer so I left a polite message

Any updates??

I'm just now reading this post for the 1st timetodayand I feel awful. I won the Pentax scope Sabotloader, so kindlydonated.
I do not want to be part of a scam, so I will be returning the scope backto Sabotloader. I'm pretty sure I still have his address somewhere.
I'm hoping this is all a big mistake, but I had some concerns when all of this was taking place too.
I feel bad for Saxman1 right now most of all.Scott has enoughproblems without havingto deal with this too.
I will be following this post for further updates.

Got your PM and replied - thank you for the consideration, but at this point I think we both should take pride in the fact that we, and a whole lot of other people had one thing in mind,helping a fellow person. I do not think we have completed that goal yet - so right now let us stand where we are and follow it through to the outcome.

Remember there were some very good and positive things that were accomplished. It was not a total ship wreck.

What a damn shame.

If you really want to re-donate it and in keeping with theintent of the raffle, why notjust forward the scopeto Saxman1?
Consideringthat he lostan expensiverifle hecould surely find a way to benefit from it. Or just keep itfor now and wait to see howthesituation develops.
