"Jewel" stolen!!!!

Dave,

Call everyone who was over for the party and let them know. Sometimes there are kleptomaniac out there that tend to take small things on an impulse. If they have it, then their family will know about it, and they will know where to look and who to return it to. It could also have been one of your close friends barrowing it as a joke, or perhaps to do some yard work. Perhaps it has simply found itself to some odd corner of your place.

Don't panic until you call everyone and give it a chance to fix itself.

Need I say: ask your wife, or girlfriend; they are notorious for making things dissappear, if only to have them turn up nicely mounted and giftwrapped for the holidays. :rolleyes:
 
Don't know how many folks you had over? But do keep a watchful eye on the ones you can (females too!) for new cuts, bandages over the hands, bandaged feet, ect... 'Cause you know what happens between curious novices and khukuris.

The engraved Khukri I bought from Uncle Bill was stolen. :( :mad:

I believe it happened Tuesday night, I had alot of people here and I had all my khukris in a drawer. Jewel and Ashley, the 2 "sister" Khukris were in a seperate drawer. They only took Jewel.

A good reason to choose your close friends very carefully and your friends even closer still.:mad: :(

Knives do set up an impulse in the id like nothing else on this earth, But there can be No reason or excuse good enough to take another man's knife and especially one so pretty it's not delegated any chores.:(

Sounds like you've done all the right things to get Jewel back. She will cause the person who took her grief, but that doesn't help the feelings you're having now nor the feelings you will get the next time you decide to have people over.

I think I would run an ad in the paper with a reward for Ashley, no questions asked.
Amd then if Jewel is returned you know who to never trust again with anything!!!!
It's ass chapping, but it may get your knife back and tell you a lot about your aquantainces.:grumpy:
 
I have been bustin my butt all weekend going to this pawn shop and that. The wheels are moving, but time will tell if we are going anywhere.

I am not so angry that Jewel is gone, just in the way that she was taken. I always knew that I was only one stop in her travels. If I do not recover her I just hope that she does not end up in some morons hands that leaves her dull and rusted in a field somewhere.

Someone mentioned how that since I took the time to name her that there was obviously a "emotional and maybe a spiritual bond". Well, I can say that this past week has been more of a mental challenge than the 4 weeks of Air Force ROTC "Field Training" I went to last summer.
After high school, and the few martial art training camps during college that were 36 hours of combat over 7 days that wore you down so that you couldent walk afterwards, "Field Training" was a cake walk.
But this was diffucult.

Everyone I know knows about it. Everyone knows that if they were to return it that no harm would come to them, but god help them if I catch them. I hope I dont fly off the handle.

Then again, beautiful women like wild rides, and I have always known I would hold her for awhile until she decided to leave. Maybe I can catch her at a later date, dress her wounds, clean her up, and ponder over where she has been in her travels.

This week will be better, I know it.
 
Wouldn't it be good if someone came to you with the blade, and asked for forgiveness? Someone who'd grown up a notch. Then you could reclaim two friends.

The best of us do stupid things at times. No, I never went through stereos or friend's possessions, but I've done other damable ignorant things, been fortunate to have forgiveness. There was a girl once, when I was very young, who wouldn't leave me alone, though she was with someonelse...

I fear more than your blade being neglected in a field. How about ending up in a braggarts hands?

Man, I just hope something good comes out.

I know how you feel.

The scratch that some @$$hole keyed into the side of my car was appraised at $879.00 to repair.

A rattan stick should be made a part of the criminal justice system in North America. One lash takes a month to heal and is an ever-present reminder when the bearer of it considers doing it again.

They do *EXACTLY* that in Singapore, where I grew up! Punishment for theft is between 2 to 12 strokes, depending on severity. I'm sure everyone heard 'bout that American kid, Michael Fay (I know, he was relatively young) that got 2 strokes for vandalism. Remember?
 
You can always try to adopt the philosophy of the sainted caveman who thinks you're lucky somebody took the knife off your hands.
 
IIRC that American in Singapore wasn't that young (18-21 yrs?) and spray painted graffiti to warrant the caning. Singapore is an sovereign country and very proud of their cleaniness. The legally prescibed punishment of caning WAS NOT out of line, IMO. Further IIRC, even the President of the U.S. asked the government of Singapore for leniency in regards to the number of smacks (12?) the brat was SUPPOSED to receive! That whole incident made me nauseous :barf: and ashamed to be a US citizen in the International community :rolleyes:

Instead of the little b!t@# taking responsiblity for his actions and accepting his caning with some shread of diginity -he whines and gets coddled, instead of punished :mad: I see/saw nothing wrong with corporal punishment for that crime!? I wonder how many US citizens currenty in foreign prisons would gladly choose caning in lieu of their incarceration!?
 
I was indeed alluding to Singapore.

I am told that even one whack with one of these sticks will make you wish you had never set foot near your own crime scene. The pain is excruciating.

12 over 12 months may be tantamount to torture, which is wrong to my way of thinking. Punishment should be deterrent, not revenge.
 
There is no way to seperate punishment from revenge. To think of doing this is illusion. Retribution is a part of the US criminal justice system.

The young idiot in Singapore should have recieved his due.
