REO thief caught!

[Added]

A little back story...


Back before Christmas I went to a party and got a little too greedy with the drinks. Went home and woke up the next day. Searched up and down for my REO. Never did find it. I guessed someone grabbed it and never looked back. So I've been using multiple back up mods since I lost it. The other day I went to clean out the truck so I could drive some friends around to do errands. I found a jacket stuffed behind the seat. Went through it ( before tossing it in the wash pile ). And bam! REO was in the inside pocket! Ordered a rebuild kit, rebuilt it etc. Loaded up my favorite custard ( frickin' YUM ). And have been in a vaping bliss ever since. I still don't know who the jacket belonged to. I think it was the DD not too sure. I Never even thought to ask before, just kind of cut my losses and went on. Well I found it funny and much more rewarding than finding those five dollar bills you find in a pair of jeans before doing laundry lol. So I stole from myself it looks like.

TO DO: Get another REO just for a backup. Planning on getting rid of all but one of my other mods ( until I can grab another REO ).

Man...
That morning coffee + custard vape though.

Thanks for reading haha. Bye.

A Reo backup isn't on the wish list...it's essential!!!

Glad you found it!!!

Damn! When I read the thread title, I thought there was going to be fisticuffs and blood involved.

It's a good thing whoever's jacket that belonged to. Had a few drinks too. on your find man.

 

[SteamStack]

Yup.. always tell people the new model is built like a tank but ya never know.. you could loose it or someone steels it what are you gona do?? 2 reos is a must!

Congrats on being reunited with your Reo!

Sounds like something that might have happened to me, however the owner of the jacket would have been...me! I am such a dumb-ayuss!

 

[egrets]

Happy for you that your Reo is found!

Congrats on finding your mod

My father in law would always misplace things and then say somebody stole it. Pretty funny as if someone came in passed up all his expensive tools and such and stole a rusty hammer or something

 

[thetrucker]

congrats on finding your REO-----I have been vaping about a year and a half and about 2

look into getting a REO---I like a good strong hit and get sick of dripping with my bottle

in hand.----using an Istick 50 watt now with a Plume veil dripper.

Great story and an even greater find @Added
I agree with @oldbroad , a second Reo is essential
The third Reo and subsequent Reos are backups ;-)

@thetrucker , go for it, you wont be sorry

 

[Raynman]

I still think you should take that scoundrel behind the woodshed and whoop his ayuss. Glad you found it!

 

[Rourke]

Maybe I am naive but I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Any chance the owner of the jacket was simply trying to return it to you?

 

[JamezC]

Congrats on finding it! And nothing beats a cup of coffee and a good custard, that's been my morning ritual for awhile now

 

[iamthevoice]

Morning coffee and a good vape is pretty much my ritual as well! Figured I wasn't the only one

 

[RuDawg7890]

Great story, but I don't know how you made it without your REO that long!
I was recently REOless for 3 days and about lost my mind using backup MODs!!

 

[Rossum]

There's a lesson here somewhere. Like maybe knowing what's in your truck?

I can't picture myself driving a vehicle for months without noticing that someone else's jacket is in there. Imagine the excitement that could cause if you were pulled over by the po-po and there was something illegal in the pockets of that jacket...

Haha thanks for the replies. Turns out it was the DD's jacket. I never accused anyone of anything. Just chalked it up as my fault, my loss. When we got home they where no longer the DD so where able to drink. Turns out said person has been looking for said jacket since then . Ah never again. Need a low-jack for the REO.

Didn't notice it was in the truck because it was stuffed behind the seat ( single cab ). I never look back there, never bother adjusting the seat unless someone else drives. Turns out the seat was in my driving position so I never even noticed.
