A.H. Fox Catalog - Not Stolen!
 

Also posted to the Fox forum.

It pains me to say that this catalog was stolen from my mailbox in Alberta. It's a long shot but if you see it posted anywhere for sale please let me know. :(

I'm sick about it.

Do you know if it was ever in your mailbox to start with?

Brian, I never saw it, but it was supposed to have been delivered last week. At first I thought the mail was slow, but then discovered mail was taken from other neighbours.

this is a real long shot- not knowing the demographics where you live

but the odds are - an especially if others in the area are victims- is that mailboxes were hit for the off chance of finding checks to forge or credit card info to use

anything else would be tossed - maybe not until they get home - or maybe - just maybe - down the road a ways- have you walked the roads and checked the ditches? Or a nearby park or a wayside with trash cans. that type of thief is unlikely to know the value of the catalog and take the time to sell it.

very much a long shot - but stranger things have happened

Rick, yes that is what I think as well. I have scoured the ditches in all directions. My fear is that it was thrown out and lost forever.

Area dumpsters or home trash barrels visible or close enough for a quick drop? I'm sure you've thought of it.

I've looked in one, but there really aren't any around.

I sent thumb drives showing about a hundred pictures of gun dogs to the guys who handled them at a driven bird shoot. 2 of the 8 were stolen. I hoe that creeps enjoyed the pictures

I sent 5 books to a member through the postal service and only 1 book arrived and the package was busted open. I wonder why they just did not steal them all?

don't always assume poor service and handling is theft - incompetence often prevails :rolleyes:

In Jason's case - rural mailboxes are an easy target for a snatch and grab and quick get away- where my parents lived there was a big combined mailbox at the start of the dirt road - the mailman opened the front with his key- put the mail in the cubby holes and the residents opened a small door to their personal box on the back with their key- in its unguarded location it was too easy a target otherwise
