Subject: FWD: OT- ATACC- Theft in Vermont
http://www.ataccjoust.com/stolen.html 

Between Saturday, June 26, 2004, 7PM EDT and Sunday, June 27, 2004, 
8AM EDT, members of Autumn Tree Productions, which includes ATACC, 
ATJ and GBU, were the victims of theft. In the darkness of night, 
someone went into the joust camp and staging area of the Vermont 
Renaissance Faire and stole approximate $4000 worth of armored and 
stage combat weapons, garb, armor and tools. When possible, we will 
try to add pictures of the stolen items. We're searching archive 
photos and video for images we can use here. Please keep checking 
back for updates. Most of these items are irreplaceable, being custom 
made for their owners, sometimes by their owners. Please keep on the 
lookout and send any information you may have to stolen at gbuonline.com 
or stolen at autumntreeproductions.com. The items stolen primarily 
belonged to Scott Rodlin, Stephen Pasker and Henry Arrendando. 

Scott Rodlin: 
Long sword, double ring guard 
Long sword, cross guard 
Hand-and-a-half sword 
Rondell Dagger (Thumbtack of doom)

Arming sword - blue leather handle 
Arming sword - green leather handle 
One handed battle axe (often referred to as "multi tool")

This is not a joke, this is not a prank, this is theft. When we find 
the thief, they will be prosecuted. The faire community it small and 
these weapons are easy to spot. We have lots of eyes helping us. 
Please help spread the word among re-enactment groups, LARPs, the SCA 
and whereever you think is appropriate. But more than anything else, 
we'd like to thank everyone at the Vermont Renaissance Festival who 
have helped us in our time of need and given us support. In 
particular, we'd like to thank the following: 
-Mattew Parkinson of MP Metalworks who fashioned a spear head in less 
than an hour 
-Carl Von Sussen of Von Sussen Enterprises who donated a dagger to 
GBU 
-Jim Brule of The Vermont Renaissance Faire cast (who loaned us 
several of his personal weapons) 
Thank you, you will not be forgotten.
