Saw this on a couple other threads and thought I would post it here.  Another low life has struck.

 

Here's the story from Doug:
"A guy I knew from the club (yes, a woodturner) 12-14 years called me about a job. He worked for his dad for 25 years then took his dad's customers to start his own business and that's all I knew when I hired him. Well, a few things started to disappear the after the Florida symposium a whole pallet of tools vanished... I let him go. When I called the police they showed me a mug shot then his whole story fell into place. ... The bottom line is he stole over $80,000 worth of tools, and the only place to sell them is to you. He can't change steel or flute shape so that helps find the tools.... if you see anything contact me. Thank you, Doug Thompson"

If you see anyone "unusual" selling A11 or CPM-10V black-anodized tool steel, call Doug and the cops.

Thanks, Dan. I saw this, too and have posted it on several social media outlets.

"Low life" is correct. Hope Doug gets his tools back.
