Handlebarz Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I have been posting this around to help Laurie from Dixie tackle we all know how awesome she is well here is our chance to help her. Sorry if the link is not working I can not post the pics I'm in my phone in Ohio so if someone could that would be great. Someone has to know him. If you know this guy please make sure he reads this. Laurie is such a amazing person she just wants to be paid for the stolen glasses. She helps out the fishing and many other local community events that she does not deserve to be ripped off then have him post pics flipping her off. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=963447317018084&id=119487988080692 Edited January 30, 2015 by Mike P.

Big Cliff Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 She knows exactly who he is and where he lives, has video footage of him but hasn't called the police? This I don't understand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I read that too knows who it is, his name and where he lives...... where is this going and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yea guys I don't get it, he is Sean Spehar according to someone on Facelessbook. The owner knows him. Hopefully she has called the police. Come to think of it he problem is about all that will be done is to take a report over the phone for petty theft. The cops everywhere seem to be busy these days chasing someone down for a pair of sunglasses isn't going to happen. He would have to walk into the cop shop and even then they won't waste the time on a mug shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bow slayer Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 yep all the cops here in St.Thomas are too busy catching all the real hard ass criminals like the guy running a couple minutes late and doing 15 ks over the speed limit or not signaling lane changes to go after a real thief,no revenue in that.

Big Cliff Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Well, if she doesn't report it you can hardly blame the cops for not doing anything about it! I will say one thing though; that $65.00 pair of sun glasses sure has generated a lot of exposure for them, Facebook, here, and how many other sites.

Old Ironmaker Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) A tackle shop could never afford the marketing cost for this much exposure. I know it isn't the case here but I wonder how many small businesses manipulate the press and social media to get exposure. Look at that Dragon's Den show, even the businesses that don't get a deal report booming sales once they get on there and get national attention. Can you imagine how much a 20 minute national infommercial in prime time with the CBC that is repeated would cost? Millions for certain.

manitoubass2 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Well part of that exposure sounds like a shoplifters wet dream."come steal from us, we dont call cops". But maybe there is another reason behind not calling the cops so who knows. Maybe it would raise insurance rates or something ? Regardless this thief has done something very disrespectful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettiop Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I get the idea that the owner is giving this guy a chance to do the right thing, return them or bring in the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) i don't get that idea at all. the idea i get is, we see how the interweb will destroy the lives of certain individuals. i'm quite sure the shop owner felt that the interweb would do the same for this fella (ie, the windsor muskie killer). once I read that she knew who it was, and had their name, the fishy smell started building...

landry Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I like her style. Who gives a ?&$@ about that lowlife. Sounds like he has bigger problems anyways. I do not feel it's a publicity stunt. It's the hst way to punish this guy cause he likely won't care about some petty theft charge. Good for her. There's nothing fishy about this at all. Just using social media to fight back a. It. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare foot wader Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 St Thomas is a small town, grew up there and I fully support the public shaming, it was clearly effective, she tried to let him do the right thing but he declined....she's a super nice lady and has the best tackle in a small crappy town, good for her, hope the cops have enough to pursue charges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Nothing worse the a thief. The lowest of the low.... I hope this scumbag sees jail time. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbouck Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Everyone would get it if they knew Laurie. She is a super nice lady and is willing to give this guy a chance at returning them with a letter of apology. She is absolutely not doing this to try and get free marketing.

Big Cliff Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I don't know the lady so have no idea what her intentions were but if she knew who he was, where he lived and even his family why post it on facebook with the comment 'If you know this individual". If she had found out who he was through her facebook post then I would get it but apparently she knew it all along. Her intentions might have been honorable but it doesn't come across that way is all I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bare foot wader Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 "This is what a STOLEN a pair of polarized fishing glasses looks like. If you know this individual, you should "encourage" him to bring me $65. This money can be given to any staff at the Dixie with a note of apology. This is your chance." She was trying to reach out to him via social media, give him a second chance...most wouldn't do that... need to read the facebook comments...this individual did reply, and his comments say a lot about his character..in her last post she says that she turned it over to the police Dixie Tackle ShopOkay everybody, calm down. I am turning it all over to the police. I tried to get my point across....and it went bananas. I tried to give an opportunity and apparently that didn't work out. I am turning everything over to them now. Thanks for all the support....I think it is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I've had the pleasure of meeting Laurie only once and I get it. One of the nicest and most generous people you'll ever meet. The fact that she wants to give someone an opportunity to make up for a bad decision does not surprise me at all. Too bad they don't appreciate this offer to do so by the sounds of it, another bad decision for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
