STOLEN ! Custom Arsenal Luxe 1.5 STOLEN at Chicago !

crazeebballer · 06-03-2011, 01:30 PM

I am the gun tech and manager of DC ARSENAL

Arsenal Pro player Pat Rhodes had his custom Arsenal DLX 1.5 Luxe stolen out of the pits on Sunday while we were at finals in Chicago. We have already looked in all gear bags owned by our team and had asked some of the divisional players after we were knocked out if they saw it around in the pit before we left for our flights.
This gun has custom laser engraving done by Left Coast paintball and even has Pat's number "00" on the top of the luxe bolt cap. It is brown with gold parts.

Tom Fore ( Arsenal owner ) is personally offering a $5,000 reward for this gun . We really want this gun back. Any help the nation can give will be greatly appreciated

For any leads/ help/ or questions about where to return the marker to please pm me for my number thank you

Here is a picture of what the gun looks like

It shouldn't be hard to spot this. That's a really hot luxe too...

Whoever stole this needs to sack up and give it back.

I hate people that can't afford there own guns so they take other peoples

Sorry for your loss. Hopefully you guys get the bastard that did this.

But with 5gs on the line you may get several submissions LOL.

Someone could buy a 1.5 Luxe and custom laser engrave the gun by Left Coast paintball with Pat's number on the top of the bolt cap and turn it in for the reward. They would still make a good profit.
Anyways I hope you guys find your gun. Its sad to hear paintballers stealing from other paintballers.

what an *******...

Thats like stealing the Mona Lisa. Yes its a beautiful thing, but where can you use, display, or sell the thing. Whoever stole this is an idiot. At best they can hide it in their basement and take it out to look at it all alone, cause that thing will stand out wherever it goes. GOOD LUCK, I hope it is found....

well you could always strip the anodizing off the gun, bead blast it, then send it off for anno and it would never be seen again.

yea but i really doubt someone who stole it had that in mind however very valid point your bring up. i would send a message to all the popular anodizing companies to be on the look out for a luxe that either matches the description or is raw/bead blasted. but i feel like its probably hocked at a pawnshop somewhere in chichi.

These stories are always aggravating. Hope this gets spotted and returned soon, people forget all the time how sentimental some things can be, it's not always just a marker. F thieves.

T.Scruggs · 06-10-2011, 08:20 AM
