My Stogies No Longer

Umm, yeah. Taking advantage of the community is quite a stretch from what has transpired in this thread so far. All of you calling BS need to back off the guy until he actually posts something that is considered trolling IMO. He hasn't asked for a damn thing. So he doesn't post much, if at all...big friggin deal. I know a lot of people here who rarely post. Hell, I don't post as much these days with all the BS/political/piling on type threads. Could he be leading into something trying to troll for freebies?? Maybe, but until he casts that line into the water....Get off his back!

What he said.

As for the OP - Bummer, hope at the very least that said individual is no longer welcome @ your house.
 
OP doesn't make any sense. Either he's making up a BS story for no good reason (or for a sinister reason), or he was tired or drunk when he made this unclear post.

I don't post here much, but I do read CS a lot. I'd tend to give the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter is true, but keeping in mind that the former is a possibility.

Wouldn't be the first time - i think some people are just wary of those who take advantage of the CS community. :tu Lookin out for each other is all.

my apologies for making it seem like i was accusing, i wasnt - i was just trying to shed some light on a common issue - i don't doubt this actually happened, pure speculation and it wasnt meant to debase anybody on this forum.
 
20 plus sticks and a 300 ct humi??

Sounds like theft to me.

I am unsure as to why you would not be able to do anything about it, if the guy stole from you he stole from you. Allowing people to get away with that type of behavior just propagates the continued behavior in my opinion.

I don't believe in taking things into your own hands but society has rules and laws for a reason. Call the police and have him charged.

As for the comments about trolling I can understand the concern. CS members looking out for the community, maybe a little aggressively but in my opinion with best intentions in mind.

Tanz I think that what people are confused about is the clarity of your post, it is a little hard to follow and hence there is confusion. It is possible to view your post as fishing for some CS generosity given the post is a little unclear and you have not posted anything in 2 years, forgive the jungle Gorillas for looking out for their own, their intentions are good if sometimes there delivery is not.

Perhaps you can clear up exactly what happened and why you can't do anything about it.

It definitely sucks that someone stole your stash that type of behavior shouldn't be tolerated, especially if you opened up your home to the person. But given that they where there for a month I am certain there is something that you can do to either retrieve your property or have the guilty party held responsible.

Best of luck
 
I know I have not had the time to be here as much lately and not to be a total d*ck but have we not heard this story in different forms the last few months? Whether it was a party or someones roomates friend etc etc? After the first one, I was like "Man that sucks!" after the second I was thinking "Hmmmmm" and after the third all I could think was "BS, Blatent mooch attempt" Sorry I am questioning the truth behind this story especially with only 4 posts and his prized stick being such a rare high dollar smoke. Again, not looking to pile on but this story has been told all too often. Feel free to ding me as you see fit if you feel I am out of line but I honestly question the validity of this story.

2 years 4 post. Than post about his humi being stolen. Smells funny to me. Just seems obvious that something is not right here. Sure I like to give a person the benefit of the doubt. But IMHO this is just to obvious to me. Hope I'm wrong. CS is a great place with very very generous members. God do I ever know. But most are wise enough to see through it if it's not true.
As far as what to do. Contact the individual, tell him he has 24 hours to return it or your calling the police or just call the police now.

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:

Also claimed to have 20 cigars, 2 of great importance.

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 :2.

So, what's the issue here?
He stayed in your home, so you know who he is and presumably someone in your family knows him well enough if he was allowed to stay in your abode. Unless he got sucked into a black hole somehow I would find out where he is now, and WTF happened to my stuff! You can go directly to the source or through the authorities. 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.

:tpd: Don't be a doormat! Get your stuff back!:tu
 
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......:confused:

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.

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.
 
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.

If I were you, I would find out where this person is and then go stand on his chest until he produced the missing items. I wouldn't let anyone return my good will, by stealing from me. I just don't like being taken advantage of.:gn

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.

We are so quick to judge here.

I guess you can call it judging, but unfortunately we have been burned here before. If we are honest, you can't say that a user who has been around awhile and their first posts are about this type of theft should not bring some sort of suspicion?

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.
