not sure if this is the right place to put this- I had this 81st Ike jacket on the forum both as a discussion and FS

 

I had it in my vehicle and the stop before the post office I ran inside a local hardware store and was stupid enough not to lock my viehicle

 

It was stolen along with several other personal items

 

I now look like an idiot and I have a disappointed forum member who wanted the coat-

 

If anyone happens to see it on ebay,, or anywhere else please contact me

HOLY CRAP.......what a low life thing for that person to do.People are really stooping to low levels and have no respect for others property.Hope you can get it sorted out.

 

​Best of luck to you

What's heartbreaking is the thief will undoubtably have no appreciation for the tunic and will either just throw it out or will wear it/alter it to whatever end.. hope this one shows back up cause it's a real beauty!

Might check dumpsters nearby... A friend had a WWI picture stolen from the porch that he'd received and checked the trash down the street while walking his dog. Found the packaging. Turns out an addict stayed with these people a few days and decided to steal something nice to say thanks...

Check local thrift, antigue, second hand shops. The security camera idea is a great idea, there all over the place nowadays. Good luck

Yeah this was in a crummy area of town and all they got from the one security camera is a blurry image of somebody walking to the passenger side of my truck.

 

I checked all the dumpsters and trash immediately and found nothing. I have also asked a couple pawn shops in the area to keep an eye out as well. one of the downsides of working in an industrial area

 

Thanks for the help- I feel like a real jackass

Well don't feel like that, your not the scumbag here. We all make mistakes some worse then others. The joker will get his in the end. Did you file a police report?

Yes, however due to the dollar amount on what was taken and the fact there was no damage- the impression I got was "well good luck"

Excellent! How did it turn up?

 

There was a ring of vehicle break ins near my office, I had the jacket on the incident report described thoroughly (they also got a expensive drill of mine that I had the serial number for) A couple months later the drill, jacket and a bunch of other peoples stuff turned up in a pawn shop- it got flagged since it was in the report and I got it back

That's a lesson for us to document what we have and to be thorough about it. Did you reach out to the buyer to complete the broken sale?

It's great that it turned up! Did they ever find those who stole it?

without going into more detail than needed here- yes- the persons who pawned the goods are under investigation

Glad that they caught them, and again happy you got your jacket back and were able to pass it on to the buyer.
