Sorry. That really sucks. I despise thieves.

I have always thought that what you did with the education of new reloader was extraordinarily generous and selfless. I don't blame you for stopping. For the jackass who ripped you off, I hope the realize, but I'm sure they don't, what an outright ******* thing they did. I hope you had some sort of insurance coverage to help with the loss.

Sorry to hear you may have been horns-waggled, People really suck sometimes! It seems to happen the most to those of us who just don't learn and only want to help someone else!!

Absolutely this. Some people's behavior is shameful. Sad that this resource will be un- or much less available to the community now, but as others have said, it's not hard to understand why.

It is Deplorable, and Unacceptable, that someone would steal, from Oldman. He offers his knowledge openly and freely. He has helped many people get started reloading, and to have someone disrespect him like this, really pisses me off! He has been far more than just a friend to me, and I'll do everything in my power to try and help him figure out how this happened. More importantly, by whom.

What really chaps my butt about this, is the fact that he would have done anything in his power, to help a fellow shooter/reloader. He has given uncountable hours helping others, and if this was perpetuated by one of the one's he's helped, it is lower than low.

Very sorry to hear Doug, there is to many worthless bastards roaming this planet.

[Ron Burgundy]

Sorry to hear this. Took a class from you years ago - it was just what I needed to get started.

[Randygmn]

Ughhhh. Spending time with you was on my to do list. I'm very sorry to hear that this happened to you. Other than capital violent crimes, there's nothing worse than a thief in my book. I've been ripped off a time or too. It's a terrible violation. That another person could feel entitled to steal another man's labor/money/property is why in days gone by, it was more socially acceptable to deliver "justice" on the spot. Think horse thieves.

I hope whoever stole your sh!t does a double overcharge on a 50BMG round and blows up his gun, blinding him in the process.

BigDog58 brought me his case working tools for me to use.

I did find my old flash hole reamer & Chamfer tool, and my new reserve Primer Pocket uniformer tool.

At least I will be able to re-verify previous match fired brass.

Scope and a few other things still missing.

I know I haven't really been around much lately, but I am really sorry to hear that. Doug I appreciated the couple opportunities I had to come out and have you show me the ropes. You are a wealth of knowledge. I hope a get chance to see both you and Doug again. Best wishes.

The Leupold 8.5X25X50 Mark 4 scope has been returned, I will need to send to Leupold to verify its condition.
The neighbor kid was caught trying to get into my shop again and held for the authorities.
The Milwaukee screw gun and misc tools are still missing - I think sold to support his habit. Kid's Dad is looking for these tools and grilling his kid.

[Randygmn]

This is great news. It must be a tremendous relief knowing you weren't betrayed by someone you know and/or helped.

You said this, "The neighbor kid was caught trying to get into my shop again and held for the authorities.". Would LOVE to hear more details. Mostly, were you involved?

Anyway, I don't know anyone who can afford to lose thousands of dollars worth of "important stuff". Glad you recovered some of it.

[Dakotared]

Happy to hear that you found out who has been going through you stuff and it was not some one that you shared your vast knowledge with. Hope that all will turn up and a positive outcome will be had for you.

[bigscoop]

Hi Doug , glad you got some stuff back. Was it the joyful neighbor that trained her kids to scream bloody murder every time they heard you target practicing? If so maybe you should tell Murphy next time he lets himself in to go after an imaginary laser pointer but give it a REAL chomp on a "sensitive area".

[OldmanFCSA]

The return of the scope was enough, that and knowing who was involved. Was looking at a replacement scope - had not realized same scope was priced at $2099 plus 2- 4" sun screens and Leupold flip-up AlumaCaps would have been $200 more plus Burris Extreme rings.

The codes on my shop and house doors have been changed - was his downfall.

Murphy T was a great help letting me know someone was outside playing with the locks and doors. He earned a bag of treats.


Was definitely hoping it was not one of our members or a member from the other Forums I use. Kinda glad it was a neighbor kid, much easier to accept than to mistrust those who have been here for training. Hope everyone understands.

RELOADING TRAINING IS OPEN AGAIN. Will have to apologize in advance for the mess in my shop, cleaned out my mother-in-law's house after she died and most of the stuff is in my shop.
