I�ve been in the process of putting in a small 9 hole course here on my land�
I had 9 Innova Discatchers ready to go into the ground. I had 5 of them in an outside shed, but I didn�t have any room for the other 4. I had them chained and locked to one of the polls under my carport�
When I got home from work tonight all 4 of them were gone. They cut through the chain to steal them. I live out in the country, so there would be no way that anyone would have known that I even had them unless they were scoping out the place�
I called the police and it took them 2 hours to come out here just to write a report�
I cant tell you guys how #$*&$! off I am right now! That�s $1300 down the drain! I�ve been saving for a long time for those baskets, and I know that I will never see them again! I better not find out who did it!

That is wrong. Maybe basket manufacturers could put tattle-tape rf id #'s inside the poles like they do with library books and some products in order to prevent theft. Or maybe serial numbers engraved in? I hope you get them back and am glad you filed a police report.
speaking of wrong, don't you care that some will find your avatar offensive if not misogynistic? how would you feel if that was your daughter, sister, or mother?

Mind reader.. Oh your signature is a bit over the top as well.
I agree that that sucks. Hope you get your gear back.
Never thought of it bothering anyone...
I guess I need to change the avatar, but the signature isnt going anywhere...

I have seen.. "If you love some thing set it free if it doesn't come back hunt it down and kill it"
I had a friend in about the 7th grade that was horribly disfigured by fire so your sig just gives me the willies.
Just putting in my 2 cents as everyone seems to think it is important to say.

Jeff,
That really sucks,
I always try to look on the bright side. if you would have had all 9 in the ground they might all be missing.
Did they cut the lock or the chain?
Of course it is someone you know, why would they do that to you?
I have a great Idea;
You should sell the remaining 5 discatchers back to innova or someone else and I can work out a sweet deal for you to get 9 Titans on your home course.

If you recently bought your DISCatchers, there is a serial number stamped into the metal on the inside of the band. The same # is written on the box, and may also be written on your invoice. Check the numbers against those on the boxes and you at least have something to help track down YOUR baskets. The number is somewhat hard to see because it is under the powdercoating, but it is there if you have newer baskets. Good Luck, that's a horrible thing to have happen at your house. I had a $3000 bike stolen from my garage when I was living with roommates. Took a long while before I was able to ride a bike again without anger. Good luck to you on your quest to catch the thieves.

Are you kidding? If someone thinks that is offensive then they need to go join some cult that praises bubble-wrap and white bedsheets, and cream corn.
Oh my! I am so offended by your little picture! Please take it off of there, it's giving me nightmares!
Give me a break.

He already changed it.
latecomers. just gotta say something! by the way the eye link kinda freaks me out. Sorry I am gonna mis that krazy eye in vic, gotta work in denver that weekend. If you guys want to form a posse and hunt down the basket theiving sob's, count me in. I'm always lookin to saddle up, hunt down and mercilessly chunk discs at a tied up basket theif (puttin it on video and postin it on the web is something I would shamelessly do). If ya git any leads, keep us posted. :D
First of all, I really didn�t think my avatar was anything that bad. Looking at the picture of that eye bothers me more! It was just a black and white picture of a blonde chic with duct tape over her mouth�
If that was my Mom or Sister, they would have a pretty kinky sex life, and I wouldn�t wanna know about it. If it was my Daughter, I would kill her for posting kinky pictures on the internet. If it was my wife, well lets just say that she probably wouldn�t be my ex wife!
My quote was something from George Carlin �If you love someone, set them free. If they come home, set them on fire�. I didn�t think there was anything wrong with this either! If you read my new signature you will understand why its there, and Cartman ties it all together! Can you see the irony?
The baskets were purchased on different occasions. The 5 that I still have were purchased together, and the four that were stolen were purchased at the same time. They do have serial numbers on them. The police have those numbers.
Dave,
I would have rather had the Titans in the first place if I would have known about them when I got these!
If I did send the 5 back for a refund, it would cost tons in shipping. They cut the chain, not the lock. I�ll call you at some point tomorrow. I have something else that I need to talk to you about as well.
I wish I would have been home when they took them! Its always a nice day when I have a chance to shoot my 12 gauge.

Sorry to hear about the loss.
Do you have any leads? Can you think of someone who only came over to your house one time since you had them?
That really sucks!!!!!
BTW, i really enjoyed your avatar. She was much prettier than SouthPark people. I think you should at least post the link so those that enjoyed it know where they can find it.
I think it was some Hippie that read your sig. and got offended. :o:p :D

as a guy, i know it's hard not to be steered by the compass below the belt -- but seriously: is that the sort of thing that's going to make young female disc golfers feel welcomed here?
i guess you guys just don't care? :confused:
Just send the young (18and over) female disc golfers to my house...
They are just pictures man. Calm down! If it would make you feel batter, I could post pictures of men as well. You know, just to even it out /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
None of those pictures are any worse than what anyone could see while standing in line at WalMart.
To all the young female disc golfers that read this thread:
I'm very sorry about the pictures, and the avatar! I'm also sorry that I'm a man, and that I love the female body!
If you wanna talk about this more, you can pm me your phone number, and we can discuss how you would want to change me. Or, you could just put some duct tape over my mouth...
On a serious note, I do care about getting more young females into the sport, but.... :p

i am just asking the questions that come to mind when i see the pic you posted as your avatar. i figured you just aren't thinking about how the pic. would be received based on the gender and age of your reader. a scantily clad woman in chains w/ duct tape over her mouth could be:
a). a consenting adult into that kind of thing
b). a drug addict pornstar who does what it takes to get her next fix
c. a victim sold into sexual slavery (recent news talked about how some American exectives take trips overseas to have their way with adolescent girls sold into sexual slavery)
you don't have to agree with me. i merely asked whether you were concerned that your avatar could be found offensive or mysogynistic. i didn't ask you to change it, but i am glad that you did. are there really pictures at WalMarts displaying sexual slavery as sexy?
There is a difference between sado-masochism and sexual slavery man, whole different ballgame.
And I honestly don't think what some dude from Texas posts on a disc golf message board is going to turn anybody away from the sport anymore then finding a condom wrapper on the fairway of #10 at Grandview (a regular occurance) would. You've gotta get up pretty early in the morning to be that touchy...

i am guessing that the key difference is that one only pretends to be a sex slave/master and can call time-out whenever they prefer?
Approximately half a million women are trafficked for the purpose of sexual slavery each year. (source: Frontline)

And just what does Texas have to do with any of this?
You know that us cowboy disc golfers down here in Texas influence everything in the sport ;)
We are also known as the Duct Tape Over the Mouth State in the underground world.
" are there really pictures at WalMarts displaying sexual slavery as sexy"?
Yeah, its called every gothic band out right now.

Although I approve the art work with a big smile, I don't thinkit should be on the forum. Would you consider editing the pictures and blame it on someone trying to keep this site friendly to the whole DG and soon to be DG family ?
And I hope you find the forks who stole your chains.
Cheers,
Bill

Done
not to perpetuate this thread anymore than it needs to be, but just pointing out to aviar.
I lived three blocks away from the red light district in Frankfurt, Germany for four years. I met a lot of girls that were "victims" of the sex-slave market. They go out to clubs, shopping, dinner, whatever they feel like, as long as they don't leave.
When you read about the underground sexual slave market they don't mean a bunch of people being sold to some dude and getting chained up in his basement. They are talking about people from 3rd world countries (Kosovo, Bosnia, Ukraine, India, etc) being offered "jobs" in places such as Germany, Holland, Czech Rep. etc. Or yes, in some cases sold. But when they get there they are not slaves in the sense of wearing chains and being whipped. They work in ***** houses. They make a little money, but most of them are slaves to the people they work for. Usually the Russian Mafia or the Iranians in Germany. They don't get whipped and tied up, that's sado-masochism.
And I'm not saying that it is a carefree great existance, because the lot of them are unhappy and don't want to do what they are doing and probably won't get out of it until they've lost their "appeal", but it isn't quite Silence of the Lambs either.
Hope that clears up some things.

Ummm...ok, anyways...
That sucks about your baskets man, I know what it feels like to get valuable disc golf stuff stolen from you. It really, really sucks. Hopefully you can find the bastard that stole it from you, and beat him with a fresh piece of cedar like the Rock did in Walking Tall.
