Should be easy to recover if it is being sold on eBay. Hannah should contact the authorities.

My father, who is a former long-time college and Southwest Conference official, had several watches stolen from their home. Although the watches are (in most cases) not one-of-a-kind, they are extremely rare (less than 10 of each) and would be easy to spot. If you have any information, or encounter any of these via eBay, Craig's List, etc., please contact me.

List of watches stolen:
1986 Sugar Bowl (has Sugar bowl logo on the watch face). Silver and gold Hamilton brand. One given to each official, so only 7-8 are known to exist.

1988 Fiesta Bowl (Florida State vs. Nebraska). Gold watch. Only 7-8 known to exist.

1996 Rose Bowl (USC vs. Northwestern). Gold watch. Only 7-8 known to exist.

Gold Seiko Dallas Football Association watch, engraved on back with the years 1979-80 on back and my dad's name. Given to him for being Dallas president at that time.

Thank you in advance for reading this.

I had a box of bats broken in to while in transit. In the box, there was a great Alfonso Soriano game used SAM bat from 2003 from the Yankees with Steiner hologram on it stolen from a bat box which was delivered by UPS.

It is a blonde SAM bat with taped handle and pine tar on the label and a repaired crack and on the cupped end of the bat are:

35"
33oz.
08 13 03
AS 12
3462

I filed a Police report and also filed with UPS. If anyone sees the Soriano appear on eBay or anywhere else, please notify me as I am offering a $250 reward for anyone who can help me recover this bat. I figure it will eventually show up.

thanks. Andrew

Andrew - any idea where it was stolen from? City, State?

What the serial number on the hologram?

Thanks for the responses as I really appreciate it. I always thought that the boxes get weighed in along the way from driver to sorting facility and back to each driver but UPS said that isn't the case so the box dropped in weight somewhere along the way with no way to determine where the Soriano dropped out of sight. UPS said that the drivers are visually searched and wanded as they leave the facility so they think if it was foul play it would have been taken along the route.

They are telling me now they think the possibility that the box ripped by weighted force so maybe the bats dropped out due to a shift in weight and weren't stolen and be found. Another interesting theory.

As far as #'d Steiner holograms---this was hologram'd under the old system so it didn't have the number but luckily it has the SAM bat batch number #3462 to identify it.

Bob Malandro from Steiner is helping look for my original invoice too as I can't locate that either as luckily I have insurance so cash-wise I should be close to OK. This is just more of being pissed off by getting ripped off. There is a Forum member that wanted to buy the bat too so I feel bad for him also. There were other bats of lesser value in the box too.



Thanks again. Andrew

Hi,

Would the GUU Administration consider adding a topic category, like General discussion, For Sale, etc. to list items stolen (Transit, robbery etc.) so that we may list pictures of these stolen or lost items and at least limit the avenues of sale to these theives. Opinions and thoughts?
