I understand not all Northerners are like that. I'm use to southern hospitality, and a place where folks leave stuff that aint theirs alone! I had photos of some of what was stolen and about 1/4 of the tools were in the pictures too. But after talking to the police, the Lt. was quite concerned that I may actually start scalping folks if it happened again.
I'm sure who ever took my stuff scrapped the copper (several #'s of solid copper 1" bar stock, and 3/4" bar stock) let fido chew on the moose/deer antler batons, and probably sold/pawned the points as authentics. I do check the local pawn stores regularly to see if my "stuff" shows up.
This happened a few months back (I read here more than post) but as I acquire a few finished pieces I put them in my frame for a picture. It could have been worse, whoever stole my stuff left all my knives alone!
