I hate thieves!

[Fentonite]

My wife and I took Harry (our Rottie) to the dog park at Chatfield Reservoir today to meet another dog we are considering adopting. We left his harness and 20' lead on a fence post near the entrance, like everyone does at every dog park we go to. When we got back, someone had stolen his harness and lead. [Bang]

The harness was custom made, long ago for my mantrailing bloodhound (Cletis). Now, Harry wears it as his restraint system when riding in the back of my truck. Some of you have seen the custom cage that Mtn.man made me.

When I called the park to report it missing (slim chance it was turned in, but figured I'd try), the park employee "Michelle" felt like she had to lecture me instead of try to help. She actually said "before I take that information, I need to ask you why you would leave it there". You mean, like everyone else does at a dog park? Next to the dozen other leashes on the fence? [Rant1] She basically told me the she didn't want to take a report, because it was my fault it was stolen. She was a pompous, self righteous snatch. Really didn't help my mood.

Anyway, I can't find a commercially available harness that I trust to keep Harry safe, so I think I'll try to buy an industrial sewing maching and make him one. Anybody here know anything about industrial / heavy duty sewing machines?

I hate thieves.

That sucks. You may call Blood Nickel Leathers they make racing leathers they should be able to help you. Either find a machine or make you a new harness. +1 (303) 340-8707. Tell them Lurch from the MRA sent you.

Which dog park was it at?

Thanks! BTW, How are you feeling?


Which dog park was it at?

The off-leash park at Chatfiled Reservoir

Looks like Chatfield Res.

Durrr my reading comprehension level is low this late in the work day. It's not like he posted it in the first line or anything...

[Jamnanc]

It prolly went to someone who needed it more than you anyway. Someone with less opportunity. You know the system was stacked against them. F that.
at least when the punks stole my wife's purse in Johnstown last year, the cops did some legwork and found the little punks who were breaking into cars.

My buddy has an old industrial singer in his shop. I can ask if he'd part with it

[pdr240]

If you ignore the blingy stuff ... morrco.com has some decent leather harnesses

thanks! Let me know if he wants to get rid of it

I hate thieves. Thieves and vandals. I hate them both equally.

[colorider]

maybe Spleify can make one out of paracord.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

Good thought, I'll check with him. I've actually been thinking about getting a machine for this kind of thing, so it may be a good excuse. But yes, Leif can make just about anything

Jethro, check your PMs.

My mom had one of those sewing machine. We put it in consignment somewhere here local. I will ask my brother where nd see if I can get it back.

[02ducky]

Man that sucks, freaking people suck.

I can't believe that the park employee actually had the balls to blame you.

[Monky]

There are actually lots of harnesses out there made to work as a restraint in vehicles.

Made for seatbelts and such, see them more at the boutique stores than Big box sores

Typical public employee attitude, they take your tax dollars, but when you need help they give you .02 cents on the dollar worth of service...

If you can't get it back, lemme know where it's for sale.

[OtterbatHellcat]

sorry you experienced the theft *and* the shitty attitude at the same time.

I hope karma finds it's way around to this quickly....and you have a suitable replacement harness soon.

I'm afraid I wasn't nearly that polite. Probably guaranteed that I won't get a call, in the event that it turns up.

Complain to CPW about her.

[islandermyk]

Thieves...

... wishful for me thinking that there is a special place in hell for people like that...

I guess it's a eye opening lesson "if it ain't nailed down... you might find it missing"... thank goodness it wasn't anything really expensive/irreplaceable, but still... I hate those people too

[Fentonite]

Thought about it. Still might. Just don't see it doing any good.

You're right. Ultimately, I left the harness unattended, so it's on me. It doesn't excuse the asshat that stole it - I'm still pissed and I'd still like bad things to happen to them. But I know that it was my error in judgement that made it possible. Feeling stupid sucks.

[Irving]

It was your job to watch your stuff, and it is her job to take the report if anything happens to it, regardless if it was your fault or not.

Nice looking Rotty and what a great chew toy!

[stoner01]

In terms of harnesses, look at either Ray Allan or Elite K9.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm talking with Elite K9 to see if they can make a change to one of their harnesses for me - just might work. Thanks again[Beer]

Thanks! He loves him some freeze dried deer leg [Dinner]

He ain't no dog. He is a horse. My kids think he is cool.

No, because I suck. (Just sent you a PM, before I saw your post). But I'm going tomorrow!
