isnt it sad when u trust at a tourny that all ur kit will be safe and it isnt!!!
to day i came back from our last game of the day and relized that my kit bag had been opened by some cheaky fecker. when i looked in me kit bag all my stuff in side had been tipped out and my xcel (silver barrel missing). i know its only a small thing, but still u should be able to leave your kit in a safe place while ur out on the fields. personally i thought it wouldnt happen to me, but it did!!!!!

:p

This sucks more and more am hearing about this kinda thing, and the way I see it is that its only a matter of time be4 it happens to me.


So I have came up with this!!! At Millenium events only players or people wearing passes can get into the player tents, I think the MM should do sumthin similar, where only players get into the tents, and maby 1 or 2 guests to help pot biatch etc for a team. Any1 else is to get kept outside the tent, cause lets face it the only people that NEED to get into the tents are us the players.

So wot do you guys think, player passes and 1 pass for a guest. I think that s the way to go to stop this tea leafin happnin all da time :rolleyes:

Mak D :cool:

A bit strange....

....dont you think????

Why would someone go through your bag , move wallet and money etc , look through stuff , and then take just the barrel..???

If he's gonna just nick summat , why not take more..??

I wonder if its more a case of someone getting wires crossed. Maybe the guy had a barrel , misplaced it , and someones mentioned there was one like that on your table/kit bag.
Thinking the worst , went over , refiled through the stuff , and stole back what he thought was his..??

( Having just read what I've written , I think I should point out that I do not think you are lying , or that you stole a barrel :D ).

It may just be a mistake on the alleged thiefs part. Trying to think the best of people here.

As for players passes , I cant see as that will make any difference. You had 2 or 3 ways in to the tent , that would mean paying 2 or 3 more staff to stand at the doors all day and check badges. Then they have to make different badges for every event.
..and as someone has already said , it is not going to be just joe public wandering around who has taken it. They knew where to look , and what they were looking for. Its got to be a player.

Not only that , there was a lot easier targets for a thief. My team was set up in our own little gazeebo near the carpark , as was 2/3 other teams. My car was left unlocked all day , and the boot wide open. No-one took any money , guns or anything else from there.

( and there was a raced cocker and an IR3 , that I bought from Woza , in the boot all day )

I hope all this gets sorted. This kind of thing never used to happen. Why has it started now..?? Good luck Woza.
