Today between 10am-Noon someone broke into my house and stole my tippmann 98 custom, my friends 98 c and a xbox! I cant find a pic of my 98 custom right now, but when i do i will post it. My friends 98c was a stock and painted an olive drab green. My gun was a black 98c with ebolt (new style) expansion chamber (GTA) Double Trigger (GTA) Cyclone Feed system Low pressure kit and it had the stock barrel on it. Could you guys please help me out and check over the internet Still can't find a pic of it yet, but it's the gun on the left with the ebolt and cyclone added, but has the stock barrel (the pic makes the gun look blue, but it's factory painted black) -------------  http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=98c23es.jpg">

yeah, I know who it is, but when you cant prove it to the cops, theres nothing that can be done..... besides beating the hell out of them, even then I probably wont get my stuff back. ------------- http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=98c23es.jpg">

Steal it back. Can you file a police report against the person who stole it? Try and find a pic you took of the guns and also use your Xbox games. If you've saved stuff to your Xbox, it'll be in the memory. When the guy who stole it doesnt have all the games you do, it should prove he stole it. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

Yeah, I've filed the police report and if i knew the the guns were, I'd have them back already. I did give the address of the boy and sent the sheriff over there. Hopefully he finds it, but I'm feeling the odds are greatly against me..... ------------- http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=98c23es.jpg">

Location: Brazil, Indiana, near Terre Haute. Serial #: Can't find it, but I did send it in to tippmann recently and am hoping they have it on file. My gun is very unique due to my setup. It has distinctive features like I had to replace the right reciever half so the serial number was hand stamped on so it was a in a lower spot than usual. The quick release on my steel braided A.S.A. The cut on my ebolt battery cover so I could fit my flatline on. Does the kid like me? I would say not, he is "friends" with my lil brother, but he did cause **edited** a few times. He was suppose to meet me so I could beat him senseless since "I'm not afraid of you", he never showed. The kid just has been a theif and will always be. My brother confronted him, the kid couldn't even look him in the eyes and say he didn't do it. Anyways I have a friend that has a lil brother thats friends with the kid, and they play paintball together. Soon, he will slip up with using gun or say something about it and right after he does I'll be there.... ------------- http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=98c23es.jpg">

How old is the kid? Old/smart enough to have the ability to post it on ebay and make a couple bucks? I'll keep an eye on ebay for you, if that'll help. ------------- Zerglet. |

Well, actually it was 2 kids, but they are 14. They play paintball themselves so I figured they would use it, but since they know if I catch them that they might end up floating in a creek they will probably sell it to some crack head which will put it on ebay. I'm going to get it a 75% chance that it will end up on ebay. I will also say they are stupid enough to brag about their "new gun" on here.... ------------- http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=98c23es.jpg">

around here thats not true, me n some freinds were on our way across the baseball field twards the woods near a public park for some " outlaw ball" when a cop car pulled up n told us we couldnt play here. they said some others vandalized a diffrent park a little earlier. they said its a shame that a few ppl have to ruin it for everyone,and that they used to do the same kind things when they were kids. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

cops here could care less about stuff getting stolen. All they want to do is hand out tickets for not wearing seatbelts or going 2 mph over the speed limit... Anyways, I checked into insurance and they will cover it, but there is a $500 deductible. Anyone know a site that sells Tippmann 98 customs for a very very high price? All they stole was 2 paintball guns, a Xbox, controllers, and a couple of games. In my house I have all kinds of computers, DVD players, handheld gaming systems, and a bunch of other stuff. The kids play paintball and video games, they just got what they would use. ------------- http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=98c23es.jpg">

Congrats on finding it, if someone stole my gun and I knew who it was I would go over to the thier house, knock them out, pull them inside, tie them up, find the gun load it up, wake them up, shoot them about 900 times, leave.

Like the shop owner said, It's my gun, he cant keep it from me or he could be charged with theft. Also I looked up on the internet the kid who stole my gun commited a Class C felony and the shop owner said he will do anything he can to help us get him arrested, including filing theft charges on the kid himself due to trading the gun that was stolen from me to the shop owner for a different gun. The kid that stole my gun traded it for an autococker that he was selling for $200. About the insurance, I filed a claim for $1650 for all the stuff that was stolen, and they have been trying to stall any way they can. ------------- http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=98c23es.jpg">

I had a total of 2 guns stolen and a xbox with some games and stuff was stolen. Anyways, I ended up buying an 05 proto with UL frame (thing is like BRAND NEW) for around $550. Just to let ya know, you can get a new DM6 for a little less than $1200 now. ------------- http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=98c23es.jpg">

I wrote the serial-number down on my Service Card....but honostly, if someone steals your gun, unless they are stupid enough to play at your local pb area (even there the PB managers will not check the guns) you're most likely NOT going to get it back unless you hunt down the sucker or sucker's. Dealing with insurance on stolen goods is not fun, normally you have to have pictures of anything that is stolen to prove it, since so many people lie these days.
