keep your eyes out
« on: May 09, 2015, 04:43:03 PM »
Local archery Shop was broken into weds. He lost all his hoyt carbon bows, a bowtech boss, and all his prime bows. If you see someone with bows for sale let grizzly archery know.

Are new bows like guns and have serial #s or some way of IDing the stolen bows?

If the shop kept the paperwork, yes!  Though they are easily removed most of the time.  Should show up in Canada in a few weeks!

I think we should bring back public stoning for drug related/motivated theft.

Not sure why shops are so eager to trash their bow boxes.  Bow comes in with a box it should go out with a box.  I even see a lot of shops that trash the manual packages too.  Never understood it!

That is not to say I blame the guys at Grizzly.  I really like those guys!  Absolutely terrible.  I'm sure he has insurance, but that doesn't make up for the feeling of being violated.  Or all the time it will take to go through the insurance hoops and ladders.

Manufacturer should have record of bows shipped to him. Invoices should show ser# also. Mike is a great guy sorry to hear this happened to him. I always stop in when I'm over there to chat and support his business.

This is my thought as well. The manufactures he bought the bows from should have the serial numbers for the bows that he received from them.

It seems really weird to me that they would take the paper work from what I am sure was different shipments of different bows from different companies. That the people who took them would have taken that much time to try to find and remove that much paper work from the shop to cover there tracks.

Bum deal I have only met the people there a couple times but they seems like nice folks.

Mike doesn't even have room for the bows in that little shop let alone boxes.  I think the paper work is all attached to the bows hanging on the rack if I remember correctly.  Can't keep it with the box if the box is in the dump.  Mike is a great guy!  We all need to support our local shops like Grizzly.  He should be fine, he has me for a customer after all.  Seems like I pay his lease some months :chuckle:
