Oh nooooo .....

[Big Hitter]

I just realized I'm sitting here short one woodvil ????

After some quick thinking I remembered its the one I had out with me last night......

Quick check of the around the house ... nothing ??

Pretty sure I left it sitting on our table at dinner last night .... Crap !!

The restaurant doesn't open until 11am

Damm, I knew I shouldn't have had that last margarita !!
Luckily its walking distance from home so I will walk down and be there at 11 ... please still be there !!

Hopefully I will update with and not

 

[Northernshrink]

Not cool good luck to you !! Hopefully it works out if not you may have to file a missing REO report do you have to wait 24hrs before fileing a missing REO report

 

[nerak]

I would be freaking out right about now! Hopefully the workers found it and put it somewhere safe. Good luck Tim!

 

[Sundrinkr]

Ooooh! Wishing you the best of luck in retrieving your woody. I know I would be sitting on pins and needles right now.

 

[oplholik]

So sorry to hear of your loss! Hopefully it turns into a found! Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

 

[pmoraldo]

This is not good but at least you have several to vape you through this time of sadness and despair

 

[Della Cirque]

Oh no Tim! I sure hope it is still there!

...not to be mean, but this deserves several "throw yourself in the dirt's"

 

[Mudflap]

I would have noticed it's abscence when I wasn't juggling a Reo and my keys to unlock my truck. I sure hope they kept it for you, Tim!

 

[canoeist]

Hope you find it Tim. I am afraid of this happening to me too.

 

[Della Cirque]

Tim have you tried calling them yet? Usually a manager and some cooks in way before opening time.

 

[Northernshrink]

Well dont keep us in suspense how did you make out ????

 

[Big Hitter]

Just got back ..... You will never guess where I had to pick it up.

The local sheriffs office

Yep, apparently the manager called the sheriff because he thought it could be something illegal. Even though the waitress told him it was an e-cig (because I told her)

I had to drive over there and explain what it was and sign three different forms before I could retrieve it.
But it did give a chance to demo it for 3 of the guys in the office. They were pretty impressed with the craftsmanship !!
I had them bring up the REOmods website on the office computer to prove it was an e-cig.

So it ended well and next time I will make sure I have my crap with me before I leave.
I'm usually the one telling other people they are leaving stuff behind. Like I said though we had a few drinks in us.
At least it wasn't a prototype iPhone

 

[Big Hitter]

almost forgot .................

 

[Mudflap]

Ha! Glad you got it back.

 

[karmakatie]

Man...my heart sank when I first started reading this thread! Tim, I am so happy you got the Reo back, but sorry had to go to the cop shop to get it, some people...

 

[davelog]

Gonna start calling you Gillette, because that was one close shave!

Might be time to consider bolting it to your hand somehow.

[QUOTEMight be time to consider bolting it to your hand somehow.[/QUOTE]

Haha that kind of reminds me of the old mitten strings we had as kids so we wouldnt loose them. Hey wait a minute "grabs 2 reo's a length of string some duct tape and heads for workshop" I got me an idear

 

[TennDave]

I'm glad it's safely back home! You might have encouraged some Occifers to switch to vaping from smoking too!
I'd check back with them in a few weeks to see- you never know. One of my acquaintances here in town switched months ago after my introduction and has become quite vocal about them- I had no idea until I ran into him recently!!

 

[olwildbill]

I'm almost sure it was Karen that suggested putting your name and phone # attached to the inside of your door. Thought it was a good idea but never did it until NOW. Both my Grands, Thanks Karen

 

[Kim151]

Happy that you got your Reo back!
