Mission Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm about 1/2 an hour away, but this is irrelevant to the case at hand. I am a surgeon, what the heck would I do with a cannon? Now, if we're talking about stolen bone saw...well, I was out of the country on that particular day. What a very strange thing to steal! I mean, what can the market be for a stolen cannon? It might be a terrorist act...no doubt they will want to notify Homeland Insecurity...but we should not jump to any conclusions until we have considered all the facts we can gather. Missus HudSON!

Mission Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Actually, at every re-enactment I have been to except the last PiP, I have been on a cannon crew. Hmm. Although I think Rats' strained back is more telling than my waning interest in firing cannon. Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention? To the curious incident of Rats in the night-time. Rats did nothing in the night-time. That was the curious incident.

Quartermaster James Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) All jabs at Mission aside, let me get this story straight: This guy leaves a fully functional artillery piece unwatched and unsecured outside his office? Seems to me he's lucky it was only stolen; that the yahoos didn't load her up and fire her where she stood! Added: Oh! Nevermind! I didn't notice it was in a trailer when I first read the account!

Mission Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 PreCISEly! To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are.

Capt Thighbiter Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Wow - stealing a cannon, esp one like this is no joke - value likely in excess of $10K, so who ever did it is looking at Grand theft felony charges.

Graydog Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) HAPPY ENDING! It has been recovered. http://www.jouster.com/forums/showthread.php?p=30442#post30442 From the above: Great News! Got this update this evening. Thanks everyone for putting out the word. Well Boys, We're back in business. Got an anonymous phone call from a couple of"good Samaritans" in Detroit who was really scared of finding a stolen trailer in his neighborhood with a cannon in it after watching the news today. He offered to bring it to me anonymously and he did so around 5pm today. Ole number 5 is back home minus the winch and battery and with a broken side door handle Cursory look thru the inventory in the dark is that all the important stuff is there and I will do a daylight check tommorrow. Have to go back tonight with another padlock for the tongue. Good news is Good news and thanks for all the help the Batty mates put out. Got a call from a fellow cannoneer in Richmond Va this am and he notified the entire east coast about the theft. This afternoon got a call from a fellow in Dallas Tx and he notified the entire southwest of the US. Great Lakes region was notified. What an amazing network of fellow reenactors we have. Description of No. 5 went cross country in a half day.. Thanks all, Col. Bill Edited January 7, 2010 by Graydog Why am I sharing my opinion?

LadyBarbossa Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 That's... ummm, mighty disturbing. Usually I would say "Ooppps, stupid people"... But one of the units from the NWTA had one of their cannons stolen a few years ago, too. Oddly, the cannon was in a storage unit and all locked up and someone still grabbed it! I have heard of cannons being stolen in multiple states from Kentucky and now up there in Michigan, from Pennsylvania to Illinois. This is VERY disturbing, mates. This makes the 3rd cannon stolen in less than a decade that I have heard of. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cat Jenny Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Networking is a good thang. The Pirate network...better than Verizon Who steals a cannon..really?

Mission Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Real pirates actually did it all the time.
