ATTN: All Shooters! 2big needs your help!
« on: July 27, 2011, 10:04:45 PM »
    I hope that if enough people read this we can find the perp!  I have had a priceless chest stolen right out of a basement in a house my wife and I were moving out of.  It is all cedar with a semi gloss finish in near perfect condition.  However, It's not the chest that is the concern, it's the contents!  Our entire family heritage, history, children's keepsakes and heirlooms, wedding collection of photographs, personal items and so-on is the reason for the $500 reward if returned.  All things inside are non-replaceable, and in many cases, everything that exists many times over.  Add another $1,000 if it's returned complete and the perp is charged.  
    The chest is 6' long, 18"deep, and 30" tall.  It weighs approx 180 pounds and is red cedar with a latch in front.  Picked up and carried up stairs from the basement, it would have been a 2 person job.  And from our remote location, a van, truck, or trailer would have been necessary from the house at 9160 Chinden blvd between Star and Can-Ada road.  Oddly, out of all the remnants that were remaining during the move (and allot of that has real street value) the chest was the only thing removed out of the whole house.  -no worries, the guns were all with me-

The theft happened the night of Monday the 25Th through Wednesday morning the 27Th.  Thanks for keeping an eye out everyone, this chest- priceless.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Freakin' despicable! My blood pressure just went through the freakin roof.

I was going to do some pawn/thrift shopping this weekend. Can you give some specifics of the heirlooms inside the chest so that I/other members might recognize some if seen?

You might also consider posting something on Craigslist about this, both telling people to keep an eye out and maybe asking to get the contents of the chest back 'no questions asked.' Just a thought.

Anyone who would steal so precious a collection of items deserves to be beaten with a burlap sack full of bowling pins.  >:(
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy sights and thy trigger, they comfort me.

Thank goodness I'm too crazy to go insane

   Sorry, haven't been able to find any pictures of it so far, most of them are "in the trunk"!  I have posted the description and reward stuff on craigs list and done a police report.   Hockable items would include: old beanie baby dolls, antique dolls, and miscellaneous broken 100 year old jewelry.  All the rest is personal pictures of family (irreplaceable) all the children's' baby teeth, wedding photos (all the negatives included) and all the honeymoon photos- if you know what I mean.  That one really pisses me off!  baby clothes like, all the jammies the kids wore home from the hospital, and so on.   Basically, the family's entire stash of memories and mementos dating back 100+ years.  None of which would have any $ value at all to common thieves and all of which are now extinct.  I'd rather a fire destroyed everything we owned than some lowlife taking our entire history in one thieving swipe. 
   Thank you all for keeping eyes an ears open, I would trade nearly my entire net worth to recover this one.  The most I can round up as a bounty- $1,500 so far, and I'll raise it as I come into more.  If something doesn't transpire soon, I may have to go Ninja.
