Randy Kern Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 That's pretty low. Some people have no conscience. I would hate to catch somebody in the act. It would get ugly. Let's hope the scum tries to sell it, and it can possibly get back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 What kind if A%##*!e would steal a model?? :evil: How could you ever display it somewhere and say that's yours??? I'll keep my eyes open for it! BTW, who did the model belong to? It looks familiar to me also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 This happened to someone on another forum about a year ago. It baffles me what kind of :!: :!: :!: :!: would have the "stones" to take someone elses build, much less when others are around packing up their stuff. I hope you get the build back.

Bowtienutz Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Thanks for looking. The model recently one a master award at a Hobbytown contest and with some vigilance we will recover it. I talked with the owner he was more than understanding. I'll just say it's because of his line of work that he was able to keep his cool. I swiped the photo from Mike cole's fotki site I'm sure Mike won't mind. I'm pretty upset abd I'm sure you would be if it was your model or you were the show coordinator.

steelerdan43 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 When I heard on the announcements at the show that they were looking for a model I was shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Peterson Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 My spider sense tells me this was probably not taken by a model builder. Hence, the odds of seeing it recovered by a sharp-eyed model contest attendee or participant are kind of slim. The Goodguys crew needs to post it on their web site. And eBay might be a good place to monitor, too. Full size vehicles have been stolen from shows...why not a model? This was just a heck of a lot easier. And it certainly speaks volumes about the character of the shlub who took it. Decorum prevents the use of the epithets that first come to mind.

RodBurNeR Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 i want to let you know the reward is up to $100 now. Anthony Rios and myself have added another $25 each to the person who gets this returned. the more i think about it and the more people that i let know, the more we want to see this car returned and the guy who took it have what is deserved.

RodBurNeR Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 something else to consider. Minidreams aka Dave made a good point on another forum about this...here it is... "Once I was shoeing up in CHI TOWN at the American Toy and Hobby expo and looked over and thought a model of mine was missing ! I saw the case but not the car ! I started to look around and then notice an guy holding it up ! I ran over there and was started to ask what the deal was ! He said he was moving it to another class ! He was being honest and moved it ! He moved the car frist then the case ! HE told me it was safer for him to move it 1 peice at a time over tring to be steady and move the display as 1 peice ! Well I guess a few more got moved that way also and at the end of the day there were a few builders looking for there kits ! SO could this be what happen ? Maybe it got left behind ! At the KC SLAMMER show that is here in june if a kit is not off the tables by 5 pm they take them and they go to the president of the club and he tracks down the owner and they will pay shipping to return the kit ! I would take a look at the table it was displayed at ! More than likely if it was snatch up it would have been by a builder that was displayed close enough they could grab it up and put it away then cover it up with there own builds ! " this also has happened to me, but still....ya never know? other models have come up missing too at other shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelo Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I will keep an eye out, and print a copy of the photo. By the way, YGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Here's an idea. Have the model image made into a t-shirt transfer and wear them to model events and 1:1 car shows in the area. Also make up some bumper stickers with the image and a web address on them. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGTRUCK Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 If it were my model, I would want you guys on my side, if I were the culprit I would run like the wind....awesome board..awesome members... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Cole Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I swiped the photo from Mike cole's fotki site I'm sure Mike won't mind. Mike doesn't mind at all.

Hey, a stolen photo to go with the stolen car! Keep it in the vein, I like it. Two wrongs don't make a right, but two Wrights make an airplane!
