Tonight I got a private message from a member here, (who will remain nameless unless they want to chime in).
It seems that there are still good people in this world, and I am extremely grateful for it.

Through a series of events my bow was offered for sale in a parking lot at a good deal. After seeing bow stolen post and buying the bow for a rockbottom price, a member contacted me and said they thought they had my bow.
They made sure that I could identify it before giving me any more info on where to find them so they wouldnt be scammed. After a possitive Id they gave me their address and I met them at their house later in the eve. I tried very hard to give them the cash they paid for it, plus more. They refused any money for it but i eventually convinced them to take some. Less then what they paid for it.

They said that they were just happy that they were able to return it to the rightfull owner. After talking a bit and swapping some hunting stories I was on my way home with probably the only personal property that means more to me then just about anything else I own. (the stories and memories I have experienced with this bow sometimes feel like my only slim grip on life outside of work and responsibilities of life)

So a HUGE THANKYOU! You know who you are.
Cheers
Allan

Incredible! Big kudos to the unnamed member, surely there will be much karma.

Its a shame the sh*t rat thief left on his own two legs but it’s great to hear you got your bow back.

Well done!

It is rare to receive stolen property back, let alone have someone buy it back for you and resist repayment! Good on them I say!

Are you sure you didnt buy it back from those that stole the bow from you?

Yup I’m sure, after chatting with my Good Samaritan for awhile, it would be impossible to believe they had a hand in stealing it.

This is good to hear the only thing I would be concerned with is if the people that stole
it did any dry firing etc. Did you get the other items that were stolen back as well.

I'm really surprised to hear you recovered your property but it goes to show you, as long as people are aware of a wrong doing, the good ones will do what they can to make things right. You hear a story like this and it makes you feel good and believe that there are a lot more good people out there than we might think. Thank you.

That is great that someone here did what they did.
That is rare.
And hopefully the purchase price was a lot cheaper then the costs to go thru a home insurer etc.
Also, make sure it was dry fired and created some damage.
