Theft

It isn't the lensatic'ness of the compass that makes it radioactive - i.e. you can have non-radioactive lensatic compasses. The radioactive part is the glow-in-the-dark tritium which is an (overly) regulated substance in the USA, but really no big deal. You can buy tritium in many forms, even glow-powder, in other countries like the UK. It is not particularly radioactive, so the thieves are unlikely to suffer any damage, even if they were to eat the compass.

You can purchase military grade lensatic compasses from many sources. Here is one for $80: http://www.actiongear.com/cgi-bin/ta...s.tam?xax=6502

well, I got my auto portfolio back. The neighbors husband found it in front of their car this morning and took it with him to work. When he came home tonight she told him that my VX was broken into and he told her what he found. So, I got the auto portfolio back and my deflaters.

I am going to the pawn shop tomorrow and looking for my binos and my compass.

Great news, Spazz! Good luck with the compass and binocs tomorrow! Maybe you can buy it back for $10! :p I guess that's the good thing about living in a town where there's only one pawn shop! LOL.

So I couldn't sleep all night...finally got to sleep this morning but couldn't sleep past 12:30. Woke up and went to the pawn shop and acted like a normal customer. I looked at the binos and then asked if they had any compasses...the guy said all they had now was the compasses on the survival knifes.

I was 2 seconds away from leaving when a scratch at the back of my head told me to look at the counter or over the counter. What do I find??? By the back door at the counter is a guy(Chris ODell Faulkner) of Nevada...warrants in Texas, and Idaho fugitive with one pair of my binoculars, compass, and Kershaw knife. So, I tell him to freeze and call 911. He didn't put up a fight or try. The 911 operator asked if he was resisting I told her not yet. So the police come and got him.

My binos, compass, and knife are on hold and will be released to me shortly.

WOOT!!! Glad to hear justice was served and you're gonna get your stuff back!!! Can't escape Karma!

Dude.... I'd have been freaking out with the dude holding my knife!!!

PS - WTF?! I guess you have to suck up the loss of the Axe Body Spray? ;)

Now to find another jobby

Spazz,
WELL DONE!...still, too bad ya lost yer axe. :p
Nothing I like better than a happy ending.

Too bad there wasn't a bounty on his head, that would have been the icing on the cake.
