My Stogies No Longer

TanZ2005 said:
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.

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.

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:

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.
 
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.

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.

Thanks for clearing it up, that's all people were asking. Surely you can understand, as unfortunately many users generosity has been taken advantage of on numerous occasions.

I'm sure you will find many good cigars in your future, and I would suggest keeping your treasured possessions locked up. :)

Enjoy the forum.

like any collection...it will take some time to build it up again.

If the passion is still there, this won't be a problem for you either!
Stick around too!! The jungle is more fun with more gorillas.

I love smoking Cigars and I will start to post some reviews that i will have in the future I will not let the hatred in others stop me from a good smoke and a little review. I have already ordered from TCC and IC just need to wait for my replacement of my Humidor.

James.
 
my place actually got robbed on christmas night when I was back at my parents.

they took a 42 inch lcd HD tv, and a bunch of other stuff.

For some odd reason, they left my 3 guitars, one alone worth $1400 (which is worth more than the TV) and the others in the high hundreds, and luckily they left my humidor. They opened it, but must not have been cigar smokers, as they just left it.

sometimes, robbers are just stupid..

if you have good homeowners or rental insurance they'll cover that shiz.. they did for me at least.

This is why we have the "Police". You are enabling the thief. Now go get your property back by what ever means you choose.

Man, you haven't posted since your join date in '06 :confused:

Well as I have said in another post not sure if you will read it I was looking for some information on an Ashtray I think when I signed up back in O6 and busy working. Then on the 19th I got an email from Club Stogie wishing me a happy birthday and well I did not even remember I had a membership at a cigar forum until then and then on my Birthday the 20th the unthinkable happened. I never thought this person would do this. I have left money at home not much but some and not once did he take it. Never took a cigar I always asked him if he wanted one seeing I feel it is the thing to do. Kind of hard to share my Pipe with someone but a Cigar I offer when ever I have someone around and I am going to have one.

Don't call it hatred man....its just the jungle trying to protect its own members.
 
Could just be me, and I could be 100% wrong here, but something just dosent seem right.
Its not hatred, its called cautious.

Something is odd here. A person who was staying with you took your last 20 sticks and you know who it is but there is nothing you can do? There is a lot you can do, like go find his ass. And the guy smoked 16 sticks of his before he left? And he knows exactly what and the count of everything he has left.

As you will note in this persons first post in 2006 he stated he smokes 5-8 cigars a day. How does someone who had 20 smokes left, smoke 5-8 a day?

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Not trying to judge if this really did happen, but sounds like something fishy. Did he rob you or walk off with your stuff? How is someone who was staying in your home unreachable?

Well posted most of that in other replies. I will say that I was smoking 5-8 a day and now I am down to 1-3 and smoke my Pipe the rest of the time. I was not smoking quality back in 06 and now I could even smoke just 1 some days on some brands. I have learned a lot over the past year and a half. It is not how many I can smoke but how good of one I can smoke that now makes me happy. Hope this helps.

:tpd:

The Police should have been called immediatly. If you havn't already, you should file a report asap. It's that simple. You may not get your stuff back but if charges are filed and a warrant issued, he will be back in town sooner or later.
