Yeah you read correctly. The brand spankin new practice basket at Northshore was stolen. Well, the donkey band and the chains anyway. Looks like they couldn't get the actual basket off the pole. Must have been drivin a bicycle and had no room for the pole! Anyway, if anyone saw anything suspicious let us know! I filed a police report, but it really isn't gonna do anything. I'm sure they went and stole some see-saws and merry-go-rounds after they were done.

This just makes me SICK!
The blisters I have from raking around the basket aren't even healed yet.

You guys didn't have it tack welded at the top of the chain assembly?
I hate to hear it, but live and learn. Since I have been playing in Tulsa, over the last 4 years, I think I have seen at least 6 baskets stolen. Anything form the whole thing being gone to what Fayetteville has just experienced. :mad:
It might be a good idea to get either the city or a volunteer to get the rest of the baskets welded to the poles. While this won't prevent the whole basket being stolen, it will deter most of the little basterds. :mad:
And since they found it so easy the first time, chances are they'll be back.

they can't do that to are old baskets,they are all messed up on the top of the pole so it won't come off.

if they could be caught you could strap them to the basket then have everybody line up for putting practice :D

It's kinda hard to take a sledgehammer and beat on a new basket,but your right we should of welded it.It's the 1st basket we've lost here,that I know of!

and its the first basket that wasn't protected form low life thieves.
On another note it almost might be worth replacing it, leaving all the srcews lose and wait in the woods for them. :o
This guy is ready for them

I have the parts for a top assembly, and enough chain. Heath said he could weld the parts. We could be back in business- if y'all want a quick fix to the problem.

I think that is a great solution! Thanks Jeff and Heath, I hope that it can be done before they come back for the basket!

Looks like you have it figured out.Until I seen the donations I was gonna suggest you contact Innova (If that's the brand) and ask for another one since the design sucks so bad.They really should do a better job with the hardware.You guys want me to ask?I'd bet on them sending what you need.Later.

I was thinkin that since it wasn't very old Innova might give us a break. Don't know what everyone wants to do though.

I'd rather we tie them to a tree instead of a basket. I'm MUCH better at hitting trees than I am at hitting baskets. :eek:
