Johanna Report post Posted October 16, 2006 At this years Boot and Saddle Show in Wichita Falls, TX some items were stolen from Robert Beard, Pro-Series Tool Co. Among the items stolen was the Prototype Swivel Knife Original with slight engraving around the top of the barrel and the number 1 on the side of the barrel. Also taken all sizes of a weave type braid tool and other unknown prototypes that were going to be released in the future. There is a reward offered in relation to the recovery of some or all of the missing items. Needless to say Bob is extremely upset over the loss and would appreciate any information that will lead to the recovery of these items. Anyone with information may contact Bob directly or contact me and I'll see to it that Bob gets the information immediately. Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClayB Report post Posted October 16, 2006 In addition to what was stolen from Robert Beard, the American Saddle M akers Association also got hit. Here is a message from Verlane on what was taken there. Bob's tools were not the only thing stolen at the Wichita Falls show: ASMA (American Saddle Maker's Assoc) was also ripped off. They got 18 of our Green Books, our banner, and our hair-on hide table display. It's very unfortunate that this kind of thing has to occur at shows where you consider everyone there your friend. If someone tries to sell or give you a Green Book, it was not authorized by ASMA. If that happens perhaps you'll be kind enough to report the name to me off-list.

Handstitched Report post Posted October 28, 2018 Get a leather scrotum, kangaroo, deer , whatever...... ' human size' ,..... fill it out and set it up to make it look as ' human' as possible, hang it up , with an accompanying sign saying, " This is what happened to the last person that stole from me" That might work HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisash Report post Posted October 28, 2018 Just looked up the green book and can understand why someone would steel it as the sample looks like great information for those in that trade Remember that 99% of the population are good people it's only the 1% who are thieving B******s Hope you all get your person responsible Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
