bow stolen
 

Recently I was living in Texas but it just didn't work out for me in terms of career and relationship wise. My now ex's brother offered to help me get some things out of storage since he was heading to town. I didn't have that much stuff but I had my bow incase. Because of how big it was, i figured it would be best to put in last..big mistake. He was good o country boy so he loved his music loud. During the 30 mile trip, we lost a few boxes when his tailgate fall down. Yes, you guessed it,including my case. We didn't realized this until we got back to the house. I told him what had happened so we went back to find the boxes. I'm not sure how far we went but we came across another box with a few things of his, everything was on it. We just couldn't find twhat i was really looking for even after a few hours. By this point it was getting pretty late so I relentuly called it a night. I went back the next morning in hopes to find it, i found the case but the bow wasn't in it. I figured maybe it had fallen out so i looked, and looked, and looked, and no find :(. So its either somewhere out there or worse, someone stole it....[:@]

Man Red Hawk that sucks!!!
I often wondered about my bows blowing out of the back of the truck going down the highway,I now keep them in the x-cab of my truck.
I would put a add in the local papper lost and found,put $$$$$Big Reward$$$$ in bold writing.Maybe worth a shot.

If somebody opened the case to get the bow out there will be finger prints.

I know your pain, Red Hawk. Last year I had mine in a soft case in the back of my truck and lost it on the 40 mile trip back home one night. I guess it just blew out because I didn't stop anywhere on the way home but it sure was gone when I got there. Brand new bow, 1 kill. I almost cried. Still do. Oh well. Gotta move on.

RE: bow stolen
 

Sorry for your loss man, its always hard to loose a bow:(

RE: bow stolen
 

wow that sucks sorry to hear that

RE: bow stolen
 

Ya but in the eye's of the law I think they would consider the bow "abandoned" and anyone could legally pick it up.

RE: bow stolen
 

I don't think that it is considered abandoned until a certain amount of time is up. I think it's actually a few weeks. A police officer I know once mentioned that to me when I told him I had a stand hung on public land.

That sucks man. Sorry to hear it.

RE: bow stolen
 

man this is getting really bad, stands stolen, bows stolen, garages being broken into, wtf is wrong with people these days, they have no respect all they think of is themselves. This really gets me steamed. I hope to god it never happens to me. sorry about everyones losses this year this year seems to be the worst i have ever seen.

RE: bow stolen
 

Someone picked it up off the road? I doubt they would have taken it otherwise. Don't really know if you can considered it stolen. If you found a bow in the middle of the road would you stand there and wait for the owner to come back? You have to take some responsiblity here. When I travel with my bow I am as carefull as can be.

RE: bow stolen
 

I hate to hear you lost your bow.

It might be worth running a lost add in the local paper.

Why would someone take just the bow instead of the entire case? any bicycle riders in the area (kids w/ no means to carry the entire package)?

Gotta love locking tailgates.

RE: bow stolen
 

That is what I was wondering. I foundit off to the side of the road. It had some pretty bad damage to it as if someone had hit with their vehicle, which i'm thankful it didn't cause any accidents. As for why someone would take the bow rather then the case? My guess would have been the bow itself had fallen out of the case. The location of the road itself is pretty dangerous for people, especially kids riding their bikes on. I filed a report with the local law enforcment so they'll keep an eye for it but i am doubtful :(

Not to mention that everyones' fingerprints are not on file. They would have to of had a previous criminal record.

Sorry to hear about that Redhawk. Good luck!
