Once again thanks for the kind messages and advice gents, and the fantastic charitable offers from some of you, some of which i have gratefully accepted. I've decided that if i ever win that euro millions im buying agolf resort in the sun somewhere and hiring ajet for the lot of you. Fingers crossed!

Ive rung all the local cash converters and similar places and theres no sign of my gear, same on ebay and gum tree, im assuming they have been flogged in a pub somewhere so im going private detective and trawling boozers tomorrowfor info. Not going to hold my breath though.

Holy crap! Amazing what generousity there has been here! Again I'll say a little faith in humanity has been restored. Hope the clubs turn up mate. H.I.D had her engagement ring lifted from work. To say I am raging is an understatement.

cheers mate, i got a letter from police yesterday saying they were closing the case due to insufficient evidence and lack of leads etc.

I'm not holding my breath. Doubt i will see any of them again, still no sign online so must be locally flogged on, hoping once i can get back on the courses i might spot the whole lot being dragged around by some poor sod, cos he will be lucky if he walks off after im finished!

Sorry to hear about your other halfs ring, some real low life scum out there.

Just remember that poor sod might be a victim like you and bought the clubs from someone who might have told him that they were giving up golf or buying new shiny's.

Very good point, dont get me wrong im not a violent person, but if i see my clubs i WILL be taking them back, and in the process thoroughly interrogating the chap i find with them. I suppose it will be up to him how that goes. I'l probably never see them again, but thats all i can hope for i reckon

I got my clubs stolen out of my car just after Christmas. Left the car unlocked so it was my own fault but had got loads of new gear at Christmas so to say I was gutted was an understatement.

But........I went into work printed out about 300 pages with description and pictures of the set and put my mobile number on it and letter bombed my entire neighborhood. Got a lot of kind old dears phoning me telling me they'd groups of young lads in hoods and baseball caps which got a bit tedious but after about 3 days a guy phoned saying he found them in a lane and he'd drop them in to me that night. And he did. Don't know how genuine the guy was but took him at his word and was just delighted to get them back. Now all I have to live with is the paranoia of "is the car locked".better that than being careless again!

Hope your situation works out well for you because it's a horrible feeling. Police were about as useful as a blunt knife too.
