Title: The good and the not so good news
Post by: yvk3103 on April 07, 2009, 02:22:15 PM: Hi guys,

The good news it that the cops have managed to trace and nab the guy who stole my kit with his friends.

The not so good part is that they have recovered only the bats (both BAS of which the guy took the sticker off the bat with half heartwood), helmet, my shoes and P1s. For rest of the stuff - whites, pads and gloves the guy has either burnt or thrown them in the recycling yard.

The troubling part is that, I had ordered 2 bats - one from Warsop (custom shape - not the usual Platinum or Venom profile) and a Salix (again custom shape with Daemon stickers on it). With the bats having been recovered, I will be in a very tight spot financially as the insurance claim will not be very much.

So if there are any takes for any of these bats please email or PM me.

Thank you.

yes I agree. but luckily most Indian and Pakistani bats have the company stamping on the edges.
