Custom speargun stolen, mask, fins.

Last night my car was broken into in Point Pleasant beach. My first custom speargun was stolen out of it, also black Mares free-dive fins, and a brown/green camo Omer alien mask. I dont care so much about the fins and mask as i do about this gun. This gun is one of a kind. I literally spent months building it with my heart and soul and planned on having it last a lifetime. Our spearfishing community is small and i know we all have each others back when it comes to these sort of things, so i have good faith that when it surfaces at a spot with other divers around it will be well on its way back to its original owner. Please keep a look-out everyone. I will post photos and my link describing my build. Thanks everyone.

* 6 Laminate Teak stock (horizontal) @47"
* Stainless steel Neptonics handle frame, Line Anchor, Reef Mech.
* Hand carved curly maple side stocks on handle.
* Satin Epoxy finish (re-sanded after photos)
* Enclosed epoxy/graphite track
* Melted lead poured under handle frame and line anchor.

Will offer a cash reward!$

Gun Found!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gun Found!!! The guys thought to ditch my stuff in a wooded area a few hundred yards from my truck. Probably to come back and get it at a later time. They got the guys too. My gun is back!

Thanks man, and no I dont have a single "friend" that would joke on me by breaking in my car and ditching my pride and joy in some bushes behind a parking lot dumpster for days. Yes, i feel very lucky on many different levels and its definetely unbelievable, but true nontheless. These guys have been charged with all the other break-ins that night so they have all the evidence they need to hit them good..surfboards, gymbags, ect.., main point is have my gun now and don't need to know anymore, so i am over it and moving on.

On a good note, i am now in Australia spending time with my family and lining up a spear trip with a fellow board member! Hoping for the best...!

Hey guys been away so i haven't been able to follow up on everything. I found my gun myself when i decided to have a good look around the wooded area nearby where my car was parked. Magnetically, i walked straight to it being the first place i looked. The shock was unbelievable. I called the cops to see of they wanted to do fingerprints of whatever. But they said they had already caught the guys through the guy they were fencing the stuff off too. The cop didn't give me any names nor did i ask, however i am sure it will pop up soon in the local police blotter. All in all, lesson learned and thats that i have to keep stuff under closer guard. I got comfortable and trusting any yes a bit lazy by not bringing my gear in like i should have. It sucks but this is the world we live in. Thanks again everybody who showed support.
