Lost/Stolen Knife Returned

Thanks guys, I sure am happy about this.

FWIW, I am positive it was not the rental ladies.
I had not discussed another scenario that was possible, but was hard to believe....so I chose not to. That scenario would have provided for the knife to be just owned, probably hidden away, and not sold or used. This possibility would have been out of an unhealthy need to own one of my things, and not out of malice. The person could have finally had an epiphany and decided that what was done was harmful , and needed to be made right. The method of delivery allowed for reparations without the necessity of revealing the perpetrator. The person would have known where to deliver the knife. More detail is not wise, but there are several things that fit, now. The person is not around anymore, so the possibility of it happening again is zero.

I am mentally going to go with this scenario. It is the one that works out best in several ways.

In any case, I am just glad it came back and will waste no more mental energy on trying to solve riddles without answers.

I do those things all the time ( really). You are not the first to point out that what goes around comes around.
 
Congratulations - it's good to see it come back to you!

I wonder if the article(s) on your work had anything to do with the return?
 
No, the new articles won't be out for a week. The article in the paper with the knife photos of this knife were run a month or so before it disappeared.
 
Wow, really glad that the knife showed up safe and sound Stacy.....but I've got to admit, that's a weird story if I ever heard one:confused: At least it had a great ending:thumbup:
 
I would love to have Paul Harvey fill in "The Rest of the Story"...

You hear things like this once in a while. I used to have a customer that bought a brand new Ford GT350 back in the 60's. Car was stolen a few years after he bought it. Turned up like 30 years later and he got his car back.
 
Great news, Stacy. So what are you gonna do with the knife now? You must have some special plans for it now that it's back!
 
This is really good news, the guilt probably overwhelmed the man in time to do the right thing.
 
I'm really happy for you Stacy -- and also happy that whoever took it may have finally decided to do the right thing.

I don't know what to say, and have been muling this over for a week. I had already forgiven the unknow person responsible two years ago and moved on. I harbor no ill toward them and I am happy that for whatever reason they decided to return the knife. I have some ideas, but there is no gain from spending time on them.

I think that sometimes the Universe just pats us on the back.
 
I think Doc got it right. Sometimes the universe does
pay us back. Karma or whatever, glad it was returned.:thumbup:

You handled the situation more graciously than most.

That's pretty crazy. I bet the guy just wasn't able to sell it to anyone. Probably pretty hard to unload a $15k knife that everyone knows is stolen.

Crazy that he would return it rather than sell it to the first dupe he could find offering him anything for it. Crazy in a good way though.

I bet it was someone that just got a little too tempted by greed, then realized that he doesn't have the resources or the know-how to sell something like that without getting in trouble, and just sat on it trying to figure out a way to not get caught.

Solution? Send some guy into your store with the box. No offense intended or anything, but if you at one point thought it was someone personally close to you, I might keep an eye on that guy. Just the mere fact that they had the conscience to give it back makes me think that it's someone who cares about you--if only in the least bit. Caught up in greed, and then no way to return it without making themselves guity; until now I guess.

It would make the most sense to me. I once had a friend steal an expensive laptop. It had an encrypted hard-drive and a GPS locator on it ( unfortunately I never paid for that service, but they didn't know that) and once I had concluded, "Well, someone must have snuck in and taken it or something," I find it sitting on my front porch the next day. Now I never accused anyone, but I have a feeling who did it; mostly because I recall mentioning, "...whoever stole it is a dumbass because it's got LoJack and the hard-drive is encrypted at a hardware level..." when I was with a group of friends, and the next day the laptop is back.
