Pat! it's not going to be easy for these people or person to unload 40 bow's, so thier going to have some help getting rid of them. There will be a good chance someone that has heard about it might just help you out . Good luck retrieving them and give them a kick in the n--s for us . I'll be looking out for you as well.

very sorry to hear this

My knowledge of this type of situation goes with Matt PA statign that someone knew you had these bows and they were after those and perhaps already had a dealer/pawn shop (s) set up. I'd bet they are out of state by now. The bow hunting community is close knit however, see if you can run the serial #'s through a newsletter reaching venders and pro shops, email them, whatever, because if they get a customer bringing in the bow they can call the police or something.

If you had Mathews . . . you could put a free to good home sign on them and you'd still have em'! (sorry couldn't resist)

Pat - this really bothers me - Sorry to hear about it.....thats alot of bows and alot of money.

I will keep a look out - but also suspect it may be someone you know or someone that knows someone you know.

think hard about who knew you kept all those bows and their friends.

Good Luck

40 bows, had to be a large vehical to cart that many away and had to take some time to gather them all up. Is your house secluded, neighbours been any help? I don't think they will get away with this one. Sure hope they were insured.

Sorry to hear that that ill keep my eyes open here in clinton county

I really cant say anything that hasn't been said already. This crap really ticks me off!

For what it's worth , if I did happen to stumble on your bows , all info leading to the arrest and conviction would be free of charge! I couldn't sleep at night if I took a dime helping you get the ***hole/s involved!

I appreciate all the help and support folks... Without being too detailed it sure does seem to be someone that knows me but I really have a gut feeling it's one of my sons friends or something along that line...

Anyway, It took me a while to compile this list and I wanted to get the o.k. from the office before I posted the serial numbers and I did so here's some more info that may help us catch the scum.

I'd appreciate you all printing out this list and maybe watching any flea markets, garage sales, gun shows, pawn shops, etc. etc. or even take them to your local dealers and have them get a phone number or name from anyone looking to sell some bows to them as any lead can help the police with this case.

Pat,

If I were you, I would create a list of every person that has been in your house for the last 90 days. I would then include which ones have a truck, with a cap, or a Van since 40 bows would not fit in my Nissan Altima.

Then I would also include anyone that has a farm, with a barn, nice place to store bows. Than I would pay them a friendly visit and see if anyone acts a little out of the ordinary. Don't tell them why you are there.

See if you can get them to show you the inside of the barn, like do you have any new animals you want to show off, cows or horses. If not go inside their house, if possible, and check out their basement. Do this in a friendly manner. Also, best frinds can do things they normally would not do when the farm is about to go under.

If this does not pan out, expand the list to 6 months. Expand the farms to large buildings. They could have also placed them into a Storage facility. See if someone you know has just rented a storage area. I would visit your local facilities and see if anyone on your list just rented one out.

I know this is a lot of work, but unless you start somewhere, you will never see those bows again. You could also hire an ex cop to assist you in your search. Think like, what would I do if I just attained 40 bows, what would you do to sell them off? You might sit on them just until prior to Archery season and then try and sell them. Ask you local hardware store or country store to keep their ears open about anyone trying to sell many used bows.

I wish you the best and I hope you find them. If there is anything else we can do, let us know....

Tom

i would put a ad in the local paper we all know people talk for money

that really sucks, i agree with matt about it being someone you or family knows, my dads guns were stolen years ago and it turned out that it was a buddy of my brother who did it.
