Dave Winters Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Can't find this board. When I went to get my boards and stuff together recently, it just wasn't there. Then I looked everywhere. Now, I do have a lot of s*#@, but there's a limited amount of places a 185cm snowboard deck could be... I was trying to sell it at the end of last season, but it didn't sell and I thought I'd try again at the beginning of this season. If you bought this board from me and I forgot (!?) let me know. Nothing has ever been stolen from our house.... but if you have seen this board let me know. Thanks- Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Reminds me of the time I thought I lost all my fishing rods (or had them stolen). I went out and bought four brand new ones. A week later, I found my old ones, propped up, behind a door. Take my advice on this - forget about the board, go about your daily tasks and you will find it.

Pat Donnelly Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Search your Paypal account history for deposits? Check the board bags, Thule . . . overnight storage or the board check at Steamboat?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Don't you remember Dave? You sold it to me for fifty bucks and I am still waiting for shipment... but I'll take the fifty back when I see you this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr D Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 FWIW:lurk: My dad had a similiar mysterious disappearance from his house. A very expensive classic martin guitar. He didn't notice for months but narrowed it down to the housekeepers sudden resignation several months before he noticed it missing. Noone else had access. highpriced items in storage areas are an easy score for someone who has access and knowledge of single item value. steal one big ticket item and maybe nobody notices until its to late to figure out who the perp is.

SEJ Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Thor's got it, he's just trying to burn you for half a C note. anybody that knows him will tell you he's that kind of guy. In reality, that sucks buddy. Had a Gibson L6S disappear the same way. VERY collectable guitar. Just couldn't find it. Went through the closets a hundred times, it was just gone.

*Ace* Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I had the same thing happen to me with my old suspension set up on my MINI. I could have sworn the kids across the street took it out of my garage to put on their Hondas. Turned out the parts were stashed away under a bunch of crap in the way corner of my garage.:rolleyes: You never know where things turn up.

Derf Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Under your bed, in your attic or garage? Between two unmounted boards in a board bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steez Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Have you checked your right hand? That's the last place I remember seeing it. I know the feeling- each time I leave the house I have to look down to make sure I have pants on.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Winters Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I knew it was around... Evidently my wife, after an over-zealous watering session, flooded the basement a little and moved some stuff into our spare bedroom and forgot (!) about it. It was tucked in right between a bookcase and a dresser, with only the tip showing. She was putting some books away and just happened to see it. Can you say WHEW?? Oh well. Look for it in Classifieds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utahcarver Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 ...I've been missing 6-7 sheets of grip tape of varying colors for 2 months now. I have torn my house apart and cannot find where I put all of my grip tape for my skateboards. I'm ready to call in a PI and have him find it for me. As a side-note, I've also decided to give up drinking malt liquor in the 40 oz. bottle and go back to the 22 oz. size. Mark PS I'm glad you found your board. That must have been a terrible feeling to have in your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
