Diosa De Cancion Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 (AP) Maybe pirates took the bronze ship's cannon from the front of a Charleston store. The Post and Courier of Charleston reported Tuesday the owner of Galleons Lost reported someone took the 18th century cannon last week. Owner Rich Mutschler said he put the gun out front about 9 a.m. Friday and it was gone 90 minutes later. Mutschler says he had put the cannon in front of the store for weeks and no one bothered it. Mutschler says the gun could be fired. It is three feet long and weighs about 250 pounds. It's valued at $10,000. Diosa De Cancion aka Mary Read www.iammaryread.com

Dorian Lasseter Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Interesting... The store opened in April of this year... Maybe no one had bothered it before, but this wasn't a 'seize the moment' (cannon?) job. It had to have been planned out. I wonder if he has video surveillance? I would hoe so, considering what he's selling... And I agree, the ATF may very well have a good time with it... Hmm...

Jas. Hook Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 I hope the perps took it for some reason and not just for the metal. It would be ashame if it were melted and lost forever.

Kinda makes you wonder about the intelligence of somebody that would put something outside that could be tossed into the back of a pick-up by a couple of guys very quickly, especially something that valuable !!! >>>>> Cascabel
Cannibal Chrispy Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Wonder if it was covered by insurance? Hmmmmm........ seems he would already be part pyrate by default of owning said cannon. hmmmm.........
