| Oct. 19, 2011 Batbreaker Men's 50 79 posts | Wow thanks for the heads up, that is a big deal and we as a softball family need to keep our eyes open during the week. Do not help the thieves make a living just to save a little on a bat. |
| Oct. 19, 2011 Hit the gap Men's 70 154 posts | Mad Dog, sorry to hear about the theft. That would be about $40,000 worth of bats. Keep an eye on E-Bay and Craig's list Phoenix. |
| Oct. 19, 2011 400 Men's 50 90 posts | DC where were you in stopping this crime? |
| Oct. 19, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | is DC still active,thought maybe he was retired........LOL....... |
| Oct. 19, 2011 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | First I heard of it. I'm on the case! Guys, start checking Craigslist and let me know if you come up with anyone trying to sell them. What hotel was this? Was it in Phoenix? I can go undercover as an old softball player. :) Seriously, let me know. |
| Oct. 19, 2011 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | I just looked up where the host hotel is. Inn Place at Metrocenter. I have no doubt the suspects came from the Premier Inn just across the street. If anyone is staying at the Premier or the Inn Place, do NOT leave anything in your car. Premier Inn is one of the worst places for crime in the Valley. You will see a police van there every morning M-F hauling people away. Bad guys get a break on weekends. |

| Oct. 19, 2011 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | A gut is the first thing they look for when being a senior softball player. |
| Oct. 19, 2011 canIjack Men's 60 322 posts | Put the word out that, I'll be there this weekend, and I'm looking to buy a couple of cheap Combats 28oz full loads. No kidin, I cracked my gray and black combats and I'm down to 1 gray. |
| Oct. 24, 2011 canIjack Men's 60 322 posts | I was at the Complex in Chandler, AZ. this weekend, and not a word on Combats being sold or up for sale. A lot of folks had not even heard of the theft of the bats. Sorry mad dog, a lot of us were looking to forward to these thieves being caught. |
| Oct. 24, 2011 pushin60 Men's 60 61 posts | I heard from the Tanel guy on Friday that they caught some of them. The cops were in their hotel room, where quite a bit of the stuff was, and the idiot opened the door, saw the cops, and started running, lol. The chased him down the hall and caught him. He proceeded to roll over on some of the other guys. That’s all I heard, and it was hearsay, but I hope it was true. DBAX should know the whole story. |
| Oct. 24, 2011 titanhd Men's 60 638 posts | I heard that they only wanted two Miken Ultras for the whole truckload but, couldn't find anyone that would trade! |
| Oct. 24, 2011 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Now that's funny! |
| Oct. 24, 2011 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | Titan, made me laugh out loud! |
| Oct. 25, 2011 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Some property recovered. No arrests made. Looking at possible suspects. |
| Oct. 26, 2011 Wayne 37 Men's 65 773 posts | WOW, I didn't hear about. I did stop by and talk to the Tanel and Combat guys last Friday. They didn't mention anything about being robbed. |
| Oct. 26, 2011 17Black Men's 60 414 posts | When I first saw this thread, I thought we were talking about a few players on my team who refuse to spring any $$$ to buy their own bat and constantly use mine or others until they break and then go use somebody elses. Too me-that's a bat "thief" A local pub bought us two new Miken Ultra II's for doing business with them once or twice a week after our games-----we designated those bats "team bats" so anybody who couldn't afford one could use them and even put a strip of yellow tape on the bat grip so they were easily spotted. Very Nice for the pub to spring $400 bucks BTW----:) Guys still using my bat-------why I ask them, when we have team bats (28 and 30)???? Because they "like mine better" :( That's ^^^^a "bat thief" Done with my "at bat" and in to score, or after an out, I decide to put my bag IN MY BAT BAG till my next at bat------next inning it's back in use, taken OUT of my bat bag--------Two Years and Six Mikens later due to excessive swings, and $$$$$ from MY wallet??????? Those ^^^^ are "Bat Thieves" |
| Oct. 26, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | 17 you are so right about those type of thieves,i have had it happen even playing with the kids,and when ya tell them to use another bat,they come back "well aren't you a team player"yeah but not the team bat supplier,a-holes...... |
| Oct. 27, 2011 hombre Men's 60 240 posts | I have a good friend who is one of the "bat thieves". He's a big hitter and has the same bats in his bag that I have in mine. He hinted that he wanted to hit with my newest bat. I didn't say anything. When he finally asked me directly if he could use it, I just said no. It was in front of the entire team and I think that he got the hint. It's tough to just come out and say don't use my bat, especially to a friend, but sometimes it's the only way. |
| Oct. 27, 2011 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | hombre we had one guy who would use other peoples equipment even tho he has his own,bat,glove,it didn't matter,he even tried to use my coat in cold weather knowing we had this weather to play in,just grab it and put it on and yes he had the same team jacket..... |
