Had my building at my farm broke into last night. They took my trailer, John Deere XUV gator, sthil chainsaw, along with some other high dollar tools. Went into the apartment area of my building and saw that they took my bows!! My BW PSAX (Kingwood). Made 2011. 57@29 1/2.  My 1962 Bear Kodiak that my oldest son was shooting. it was 38@28. And my youngest son's Mingo recurve that I had got from Kustom KIng. They were all LH.

Any of you guy's hear or see any that fits that discription let me know. Not holding my breath on getting any of my stuff back. Police report is filed and forensics made a visit. I guess we will see.

I am so disgusted right now I could puke!!!

Sorry man... I will never understand how someone thinks its OK to just take someone's property. Probably a guy that needs a fix... and he will screw up soon. Will say a prayer that they catch him soon and you get your stuff back.

That is such a bummer. Sure hate to hear things like this and it is bad all over. You are probably right about not getting your things back but we will all keep our fingers crossed for you. Good luck.

Thanks Mike! I remember talking to you about your trailer. I have some pics I will post up on the BW. The serial number was 11382. Gonna have to see what insurance is going to cover as deer season will be here before I know it. Thanks for the words of support guys!!

That sucks Rusty!  Hopefully you'll get something back. Every thief will have to answer for their actions one way or another!

I hate to hear stuff like this.  And it seems to be getting more common, unfortunately.  I hope things turn out OK and you are able to recover some of your equipment and bows.

I have a buddy who lives in South Carolina.He went to work one day and when he got home, his entire house was empty, furniture all his longbows even his boats and canoes. His neighbor saw a moving truck pull up and just figured he was moving.They were obviously watching his house for some time but pretty braisin in broad daylight.
