My Stogies No Longer

[rwhit37]

4 post in 2 years. First 2 post were within 36 minutes of each other. Second set of post a year and 10 months later were within 27 minutes of each other. Zero (0) trader feedback.

And this post makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever:
http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthr...393#post404393

Also claimed to have 20 cigars, 2 of great importance.
1-Opus X 2005
10-Cohiba Red Dot Toro Tubes
1-Triangular
2-Chateau Real Lord Tennyson
2-Gurkha Avenger G5- Torpedo
2-Gurkha Black Dragon Grand Especial
1-Ashton ESG 20yr

I know my Gorilla math sucks but thats only 19.

Where was your RC collection at? I'm assuming you are referring to the Tatuaje RCs.

As for the guy that took your belongings. Find him. He stayed with you and you know who he is. File a police report and get the search going. You know who the culprit is. But are you sure it was him? Maybe someone took it if you had a lot of company over. Opened the window, put it outside and picked it up when they left.There are a lot of variables here you need to think about unless someone saw him take it. Maybe some more details will help to clarify this situation.

I apologize in advance if I have offended anyone or you TanZ2005. That is not my goal just showing the facts.

This is just my .

He stole from you, and if I was in your position.....Somebody is gonna pay. I'll either get my stuff back, or make someones life a living hell until I am satisfied with the result.

Don't be a doormat! Get your stuff back!

hmm... Which is worse.. Someone posting a sad story about his stuff being stolen, or the Gorilla's here accusing him of wanting a free handout..

Sorta make wonder......

Depends on whether the OP is kosher or not, doesn't it?


Some people have more intuition than others. I don't often have my hackles raised, so to speak, but when they are, there is usually a reason. A few brothers here can attest to that.

I should add that I do not know whether this is a fishing post, or a valuable lesson to be learned about trusting people in your home.

[Scud]

I don't really see why someone would BS a story of 19 missing sticks...none of which were uber-premiums other than the Opus. I do find out hard to believe that you had a foot locker/300 count humidor and only 19 sticks

Call the police or don't. If you can live with being taken for a sucker, that's your concern. I hate thieves and integrity will always be worth more than a handful of smokes.

I think this may mean Radio Controlled, like cars, airplanes and such ... but then again, maybe not.

[freakygar]

For once you will be happy to know (some more than others) that I am going to keep my mouth shut in this thread.

Nope not a word will be spoken/typed.

I' sure you guys will figure it out.

Like I said not a word from me.

Nope.

Not one word.

Ever.

Again.

Really.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, well you know the rest. It does seem suspicious, but I think I will reserve judgement until after he posts again.

Just out of curiousity how do you know this person. Is it a family member or a friend or a friend of a friend.

This guy worked with a friend of mine and was put out by his wife. What my friend said was he was not at fault and he would give him a place to stay however with 3 kids and wife his 3 bedroom house was to small. I have a 3 bed house 1 kid and wife and my 3rd bedroom was only being used for my wifes crafts so we took him in. About me not being able to do anything is that he was a guest in my home that I let in and he had a key. So the law is not to hard to find someone that was given access to my home. My friend said that Monday he came to work and quit. Said that he was moving back to Alaska. My friend came over yesterday with 2 sticks from a local cigar shop and said that he would love to help replace what is lost seeing he feels a little at blame.

Call it judging, call is suspicious, or call it having the guts to type what many are thinking.

I draw the line when someone is overtly disrespectful when bringing up their suspicions.

I am sure the original poster is a big boy, and can handle it.

Now he simply needs to execute on much of the good advice he has gotten in this thread.

If in fact he is leaving for Alaska, I suggest you file a police report so they can chat with him before he leaves. Perhaps you can share the results with us. Even if invited to your house, and having a key, theft is still theft. Love to hear how this turns out, sir.

Yeah, it's a pretty tough place we have here. Bunch of guys running around calling folks con men. Let's do the math:

Guy posts his story, and gets primarily two types of responses.

Type one is offering advice about getting the authorities involved...some of this advice is from the authorities no less. Note that these are the majority of the responses.

Type two is questioning what his motive is for making this type of post his first one after being a member for 2 years.

Maybe I am in a rough mood today, but I don't see a problem asking the second question based on the circumstances. It's pretty simple to answer directly.

Frankly we have learned that the motive will become apparent before long. If our friend was simply sharing a troubling story, there is nothing wrong with that and we look forward to seeing him around our little community in the future.

If he had other motives, there is the very good chance that you will see this as their last participation here...by their own choice.

[tchariya]

file a police report. You know where he use to work...so he would still probably have left a forwarding address for his last paycheck.

theft is theft..no matter how you skin it.

If this humidor and the 19-20 sticks are my valued possession I would do whatever is in my power to get them back....

what a pr1ck your guest turned out to be.

for now..just get a some water pillows and restart your collection with a Tupperware dish or something. In time..you will obtain what you have lost.

The law is definitely hard on con-artists.

Sad thing is that I have read only a little part of what others have said and it would seem that you would like to add your "Judgment" on me so I will reply to you as to what everyone has said. I will start by saying that I am not here asking for a handout. I have not seen many other post as I have not been on here for a while. I will say that this is not some BS poster looking for free Cigars and I am sorry that there are so many people out there that can not be honest enough to state the facts. When I started to write the thread I was only going to post my prized pair. The Opus X was the pair. and you know what I Don't really care what others think. If they want to say that I am full of bull man I am so sorry that I shared my story. Then there are others that are saying that I have not been here for a long time and this and that. Well I was here looking for an Ashtray at one time and think that was when I first signed up. Back in them days I was looking for some information about what others thought. I never took time to read or even stay around seeing how many hours I was working and just really never had the time. 300 count humidor for only 20 sticks. Well over the last month that was the home of a better count of 110 sticks. When I bought this back in March of 07 it was home to things like Presumidos, Thompsons Black label, Hoyo Excalibur 1066, and a few others that really were not to much to buy. I have never had more then 200 cigars and the reason I got a big Humidor was so i could get some good deals when they presented themselves. I am so sorry that there are so many people out that that can not believe someone could really lose something like this. OMG People if I was gonig to make up a story I would have had that filled with PREMO Cigars stocked up to about 250 in count and so on. Why the law can not do anything? Ask them in my area it is something I will have to presue in court seeing he was giving access to my home and had a key for coming and going as he pleased. Sure taking my Cigars is a crime they just are not going to go out of there way to find him.
Who was he well it was a Friend of my Friend and was kicked out of his house and my friend asked if I could give him a place to stay for a week or 2 until he could get his own place. Well a month later he leave quits his job and tell my friend that he is moving back to Alaska. What am I to do??? I have now become sorry for posting this to the forum. If I would have known that I would be hit with so much hate and disbelief I would never have shared my story. All this from an email I got fom Club Stogie wishing me a Happy Birthday. Thanks for taking time to read the story and for the ones that really care for the ones that are not full of BS.

James.
