Stolen Tools! Woodturners, please read!
Doug Thompson <www.thompsonlathetools.com> had a lot of tools stolen from him! Please be on the lookout for them. If anyone offers you tools that could be Doug's, let him know.
The tools will be 10V steel, round tools have the shank turned down, tools may be polished, they are Doug's flute shapes. "Thompson" might or might not be engraved on them. Look for any tools in the Thompson line that are being offered by someone who is not Doug or one of his dealers!
Here is Doug's post about it: "A guy I knew from the club (yes a woodturner) 12-14 years called me about a job. He worked for his dad for 25 years then took his dad's costumers to start his own business and that's all I knew when I hired him. Well a few things started to disappear the after the Florida symposium a whole pallet of tools vanished.... I let him go. When I called the police they showed me a mug shot then his whole story fell into place. Remember he took his dad's customers well he stole his partners money and became a felon. His wife divorced him and he now lives in a room where he mows the lawn and shovels snow for his rent. I wondered why he always sat on a huge cushion was it Buba and cousins who were in his ass or was it the big guy Mandingo but being a felon is tough. The bottom line is he stole over $80,000 worth of tools and the only place to sell them is to you. He can't change steel of flute shape so that helps find the tools.... if you see anything contact me (Doug Thompson). Thank you"
