studley Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Went to the shooting show today and was expecting good things. Certainly lots to look at and some good bargains I bought a ridgeline smock coat that i've been waiting to buy for ages. I had expected to walk away with a new .243 but only to find that it's just the distributors so I will need to make an order which make me wonder why I took a day off of work to go. Whilst at the stand I had placed my new coat in its bag by my feet while i talked rifles only to find someone had pinched it when I went to leave. I came away with a great new roe bag but very bitter about the loss of my new coat. If you are heading to Stoneleigh this weekend keep an eye on your shopping!

BSA-airgunner Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 And the scum that took your smock is more than likely been given the privilege of having shot guns and fire arms..how trustworthy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 That's terrible, did they have any cctv? I bet it was that busy you wouldn't see who walked off with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studley Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 It was pretty busy at lunch time so I doubt you'd ever find them - would be hard to track down someone in a sea of green coats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I was at a show once with some friends and ended up carrying a few bags of dog poop and nappies and a kind person in one of the stalls gave me a carrier bag to put it all in when we stop to watch a display I put it on the floor and someone nicked it!

rjimmer Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 You can also expect that sort of thing at The Midland, I think. I bet it was that busy you wouldn't see who walked off with it. If that was Friday, I'm glad I'm not going tomorrow. I doubt there will be enough tarmac to park on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take him round the back and chuck his bruised body in one of those skips with the rest of the carp . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope is going to get what he deserves, and if FAC/SGC holder, it will be revoked. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
