    Default I hate thieves!

    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.

    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? 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.

    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
