Ok,so youv've gotta hear this story. The UPS tracking number shows my BK10 was delivered last week but it never arrived. I contact UPS and they for some crazy reason desided to deliver it to a completely different address then ka-Bar put on the box. UPS tells me the location of where they delivered the package. Im leaving work and go by the residence. When I made contact with the residence they were very stand-off-ish about my asking if they happened to get a package delivered to them that belonged to me. I showed them my receipt order and ID and I was still in my police gear at the time. They begin to tell me they did not receive any packages for me. When I advised that UPS stated they did in fact delivery the package the guy says "oh ok.... hey honey, get that knife out of the closet." So the wife brings me the knife out of the box, no paperwork or anything. You can tell its been handled. I advised her there should be a holster as well as an additional set of grips. She leaves for a minute and brings the holster and grips to me. Anyway, very odd deal, definitely a first for me. If there was anything else in the package (besides Moose putting a bell behind the grips :rolleyes:) I did not get it.
 
I had something very similar happen.

I was waiting for a Pre Production run Benchmade model 46 balisong in the mail. I used to live on a street that had 5 mail boxes sitting together so I thought it might have gotten put in the wrong mailbox by mistake.

So I just decide to keep waiting for it.

2 weeks after it was supposed to arrive I checked around with each of the neighbors to see if my package got delivered there by mistake. But of course they all said no.

Then mysteriously the next day it showed up in my mail box. Someone had opened it up and retaped it. I still dont know which neighbor had it but atleast I got it back.
 
That's f****d up. Glad you got your blade, but isn't it some sort of crime to open someone elses mail?
 
freaking people. I live in a new development and the house numbers are places in an almost invisible spot, i get packages for neighbors all the time. They go next to the door so i can give it to them when i see them come home, or i call the shipping company and advise them it was misdelivered and tell them either to come get it ot have the person come get it. people are so shady
 
i would call UPS and file a complaint.

they did not deliver the knife to YOU.

the driver screwed up badly on this one.

in fact, the knife was effectively stolen. if you weren't in cop gear, you might have lost it.

definitely complain on this one.
 
second part: what's with the knife not being in the holster when they brought it out?

they probably kept the gold coins too :)
 
WOW..... that is ridiculous. But FYI you could have filed a claim with kabar and I'm sure they would have sent you another one. I once had UPS deliver $500 worth of gun optics and parts to the wrong house. I INSISTED that UPS call the driver to fix the problem, and they did. 15 mins later the driver rings my doorbell and said he delivered it 4 houses down my street.

There's a reason why they call them the brown plungers.
 
Glad you got your blade, damn alot of people are a waste.....

Should have wrote them a ticket for kidnapping a becker-thats a felony charge right there
 
Wow. Just wow.

Well, I'm glad you got your knife, very glad. If I was in PoPo gear, and they brought it out to me, without the sheath, box, and everything like it was shipped, someone would have holding up some walls. I would have called in backup (or at least they thought I did :D), read them the riot act, and made them fix me a glass of tea.

Jeebus, some #$@%&^&**& people.

Glad you got your BK10. I didn't put the bell in it, John Stitt or Paul Tsujimoto did, there should also be a whistle in the sheath pocket as well.

Damn.

Next day...

UCPOPO: Sir, do you remember me? I'm the cop whose knife you tried to steal.

Pond scum: Uhmmm... yeah?

UCPOPO: I want my whistle too.

Pond scum: Honneeeeyyy, get the whistle out of your purse!

Damn right.

Bring a K9 unit in and have them stand right behind you, with the dog going ape**** the whole time.

You should have gotten 1) a knife with grivory scales 2) Micarta scales 3) bell under the handle 4) whistle of some sort 5) green sheath 6) ka bar box. 7) 3 1 oz gold eagle coins.
 
Man, were you ever screwed. I got 4 coins, and gold just hit $1800 an ounce.
 
Freaking ridiculous - good thing you're an officer or you would never have gotten your property back.

The crazy thing is these were NOT what most of us might consider bad people from the bad side of town. They live in one of the nicest neighborhoods in town in a 2 year old 5000 square ft beautiful home on the golf course and were early retirement age. They tried to give me some bulls--t story about how the box didnt have a readable name on it when they got it.
