Did the table cloth match the curtains?




Seriously though, having stuff stolen sucks! Big time, whether it's $5,000 or $50 worth of stuff. You know what else sucks...having somebody come on here and accuse a whole message board full of members.

Good luck finding these.....

My understanding is that Chad refuses to break into the to 10 until they're returned....I'm with the minority on this one, I was sure it was going to be a one off Ti foot peg or better yet Chad's MOJO.

Thieves suck. I read ozzys post and decided to get proactive.

I hit the streets and got some solid leads. I believe the culprit to be the local strip joint owner.
I have been on a 24 hour bender, I mean surveillance. i have some solid strippers,um informants on the payroll.
It's probably going to be a long,drawn out sting operation but I will keep you posted.

This honestly sounds like a joke to me. You think other teams don't get stolen from all the time? Pretty sure they do. It would be appropriate to post about this if it was a tool, or a bike part, but a tablecloth? I mean really? Obviously it isn't good to steal and it's going to be a hassle to get a new one, but no one is going to admit they stole your damn tablecloth. You ate actually making the team sound stupid by posting this. You are more worried about a tablecloth than helping Reed improve the bike for the races...

I showed up late to the party but you fucking guys are something else. The same people riding this Kent fella like Sea Biscuit are the same people foaming at the mouth for an ILLEGAL feed from the SX season or downloading music illegally from the internet. Dont tell me knowbody in this thread hasn't done it........that makes you a thief also? Who cares about some 2 bit table cloths BFD...........Double standard around here is retarded.

Laugh, is there anyway to make a post read-only (i.e. nothing other than the opening post). This thread needed it.

What if those who stole are actually huge Reed fans.
What if they take said tablecloth to the next National, and toss it one the the two/two Ryans, who may be leading the race, and they have to pull over and remove the damn thing, thereby handing the lead and the eventual win over to Reed.
These guys would be the hero's over at Two/Two motorsports!!

I've watched this thread melt down like a 2 stroke bottom end on straight gas..........soooo, I'll throw a different angle at you. I'm not going to debate the stealing part, but I would imagine there is a good chance that whoever took the table cloths (I still feel like this thread was a setup to punk all of us) looked at them in the same light that people viewed track banners many years ago.

There are a lot of old timers around who have old Camel Pro or whatever banners in their garage because at many old races it was normal to take the banners after the race. Obviously we know it can get you arrested now.

I'm beting that whoever took the table cloths thought it was a fairly harmless act. They may have even figured it was something that gets thrown away and replaced every race by the team.

This doesn't make it ok......and ignorance to laws and rules won't get you far in court, but if the guy or guys were really up to no good they would have taken something of big value. I'm sure there were a few thousand dollars worth of tools or parts just feet away from this table.
Thank you.

From what I read and maybe I missed it, Ozzy showed up Sat. morning and the Tablecloths were missing. Are "fans" allowed in the pits on Friday. If not, then it wasn't "fans" that stole the stuff. Fans weren't allowed in the pits until 9am Sat. Stolen is stolen but if fans weren't allowed in it was someone associated with a rider, press, security etc. If that's the case I think it's even worse because it's more of an "inside job". My thoughts anyhow.

Sometimes you got to take your losses and move on.

I'm sure the OP's time spent tracking down this tablecloth is worth more than the tablecloth itself.

I'm not excusing theft in any way, just applying some common sense.

Just skimming this thread some of these guys are borderline mob mentality. It's something else.

Dave'O really created himself a true to life "Tar Baby" here.



Although I have enjoyed the comments on here, especially the "Does the carpet match the drapes?" analogy (Dave'O loves analogies after all).

Anyway, I think that most involved here don't realize the amount of work involved on the road, and how little time there is off. Dave came home from that road trip thinking he was gonna get three days to go to Mammoth Mountain and relax, do a little mountain biking (on his 7 year old bike, he's the manager, not the rider), do a little trout fishing, hot tub a little, and a nice dinner or two with the old lady. Instead, he get's to run around L.A. in the hot weather, get a new table cloth made (where do you get BLACK table cloths the size of a fold up Lifetime table?) and then take it to large format printer to be logo'ed. All done just in time to make it to the next race. These aren't the type of jobs you hand off to anybody else on the team, it's the Team Managers responsibility.

So, I personally understand how Dave might of been misunderstood in his open request for the tablecloths return. By the way, that trip to Mammoth Mountain has been cancelled. Maybe next year.

Why is anyone even putting a dollar amount or comparing your own un-returned stolen goods to their loss? He clearly stated it's not so much about the monetary loss for the team, but more-so the loss to the sponsors. I would imagine these custom-made table cloths (advertisement space) aren't made overnight, and, unless the originals are returned, will likely result in the loss of some of their sponsors advertisement area that they paid the team for. I'm sure the sponsors are greatful that Ozzy has at least been making an attempt to get that advertising space back for them for this up-coming weekend.

But somehow you all see that as a rich guy whining about losing a table cloth, and likely ran off the only well-respected team manager posting on the site.

Stay classy Vital.

Because "the powers that be" are responsible for security. I won't speak for Davey, the guy has plenty of other problems to deal with and this will be another "issue" to deal with.
If you don't understand that a team manager came on here and asked for a return of "stolen" items and then said that if items were not returned, he would bill the people responsible, I don't understand what reality you are living in.
So if someone steals your wallet at a national are you going to send the bill to DC ? How about if they break into your car? So how many security guards should they have in the pits at night ? one for every rig ? Its people like you who blame every one except the thief's. I know its not their fault either, they had a tough childhood .Sad

Chad comes in from busting out a brutal 35 min moto.
Before he can get his helmet off Ozzy breaks the news.

"Chad...we have a problem. The tablecloths, they are gone!"

Chad replies...."before you do anything get over to Vital MX and find out who has them...fucking vitards!"

lostboy819, you have like 26 posts in this thread and more in the "Dear Ozzy" thread. Are you somehow personally vested in this matter? Did Ozzy steal your birthday or something? I'll admit I was briefly amused and giggled at the dramatic buildup preceding the reveal of the stolen item, but geez man . . .
