Subject: Stolen Saddles

Ok guys, I need your help.  Please forward this to every horse person you know and have them forward, etc.  We are currently working on a FEDERAL case to put away a professional tack thief.  This guy has been doing this for 10 years and we've linked him to these states so
far:: Texas   Oklahoma   Illinois   Kansas   Missouri   Iowa   South Dakota   Nebraska

There could be more.  What I need is information on any saddles or equipment that has been taken in the past 10 years.  He has stolen western, english, dressage.  You name it.  We have had witnesses that have come forward and given us some information on the past crimes and now we have to match up the information.  I'm sure most of these cases have been closed but we may be able to help solve them.  A few things I know is that one of the crimes in Iowa he set off an alarm and was almost caught.  He actually saw the police pulling in the drive but they didn't see him.  I know one of the saddles in Oklahoma was a trophy saddle.  Maybe cutting?  Do any of these sound familiar?  This guy is going away thanks to all the tips and information that I've been able to gather over the internet and through the help of all of you.  Lets make sure he goes away for a long time. 

Thanks,

Maple Valley, WA
My name is Elizabeth Clark and I live in Maple Valley, WA.
Our house was broken into Thursday, February 28. My saddle was stolen sometime between 7:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. It is a 15 inch seat Sagebrush Saddle with a Wade slick fork tree and it has barb wire accent stamping and the Sagebrush logo stamped the back of the cantle. These pictures were taken when it was brand new. The saddle now shows a bit of wear, but it is extremely recognizable and is still in excellent condition. It now has a strap with a brass buckle for storing a lariat and it also light tan colored leather bucking rolls on either side of the pommel, neither are shown in these
pictures.The saddle is in excellent condition and will stand out in a crowd. Please contact King County Sheriff s Deputy Jeffrey Dorsch at 206-296-3883 or Elizabeth Clark at 425-413-1759 . A reward may be offered for its return.

If you would like to put up flyers, I have made an Acrobat PDF of my flyer and you can print it on your own computer. If you need printouts, I can get printouts to whoever wants them and can't print
them out from the PDF.

Please let your local riding buddies know to keep an eye out for my saddle, too. Here are some pics:
The only thing not in the pictures are the bucking rolls and lariat keeper strap that were added recently.

You can download an Adobe Acrobat PDF here:

Please print out copies to hand out, post, whatever. I have already contacted Sagebrush and let them know to keep their eyes open. I have also hit every tack shop I could in the last 4 days, in addition to 2 auctions and phoning many pawn shops. Hopefully I'll get it back sooner than later or never.

Who knows where it will show up or how far it will go. It's not exactly your everyday western saddle you know. If you know of a pawn shop or auction that deals in tack, please let me know so I can check it out. Thanks guys!

PJ Delagrange
Butet

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Everything was stolen Friday night (4-5-02) from a private barn in Lewisberry, PA. It is not a barn that
advertises and it's only from my trainer's customers. Someone had to be familiar to the area and known that my trainer was out of town at a horse show for a few days. They left the less valuable saddles and bridles hanging up so they knew which ones were more valuable. I'm sure everything is long gone by  now..I'm keeping my eyes open on line (ebay etc...) I appreciate your help.

Subject: Stolen Saddles

Ok guys, I need your help.  Please forward this to every horse person you know and have them forward, etc.  We are currently working on a FEDERAL case to put away a professional tack thief.  This guy has been doing this for 10 years and we've linked him to these states so
far:: Texas   Oklahoma   Illinois   Kansas   Missouri   Iowa   South Dakota   Nebraska

There could be more.  What I need is information on any saddles or equipment that has been taken in the past 10 years.  He has stolen western, english, dressage.  You name it.  We have had witnesses that have come forward and given us some information on the past crimes and now we have to match up the information.  I'm sure most of these cases have been closed but we may be able to help solve them.  A few things I know is that one of the crimes in Iowa he set off an alarm and was almost caught.  He actually saw the police pulling in the drive but they didn't see him.  I know one of the saddles in Oklahoma was a trophy saddle.  Maybe cutting?  Do any of these sound familiar?  This guy is going away thanks to all the tips and information that I've been able to gather over the internet and through the help of all of you.  Lets make sure he goes away for a long time. 

Thanks,

Maple Valley, WA
My name is Elizabeth Clark and I live in Maple Valley, WA.
Our house was broken into Thursday, February 28. My saddle was stolen sometime between 7:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. It is a 15 inch seat Sagebrush Saddle with a Wade slick fork tree and it has barb wire accent stamping and the Sagebrush logo stamped the back of the cantle. These pictures were taken when it was brand new. The saddle now shows a bit of wear, but it is extremely recognizable and is still in excellent condition. It now has a strap with a brass buckle for storing a lariat and it also light tan colored leather bucking rolls on either side of the pommel, neither are shown in these
pictures.The saddle is in excellent condition and will stand out in a crowd. Please contact King County Sheriff s Deputy Jeffrey Dorsch at 206-296-3883 or Elizabeth Clark at 425-413-1759 . A reward may be offered for its return.

If you would like to put up flyers, I have made an Acrobat PDF of my flyer and you can print it on your own computer. If you need printouts, I can get printouts to whoever wants them and can't print
them out from the PDF.

Please let your local riding buddies know to keep an eye out for my saddle, too. Here are some pics:
The only thing not in the pictures are the bucking rolls and lariat keeper strap that were added recently.

You can download an Adobe Acrobat PDF here:

Please print out copies to hand out, post, whatever. I have already contacted Sagebrush and let them know to keep their eyes open. I have also hit every tack shop I could in the last 4 days, in addition to 2 auctions and phoning many pawn shops. Hopefully I'll get it back sooner than later or never.

Who knows where it will show up or how far it will go. It's not exactly your everyday western saddle you know. If you know of a pawn shop or auction that deals in tack, please let me know so I can check it out. Thanks guys!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Everything was stolen Friday night (4-5-02) from a private barn in Lewisberry, PA. It is not a barn that
advertises and it's only from my trainer's customers. Someone had to be familiar to the area and known that my trainer was out of town at a horse show for a few days. They left the less valuable saddles and bridles hanging up so they knew which ones were more valuable. I'm sure everything is long gone by  now..I'm keeping my eyes open on line (ebay etc...) I appreciate your help.
