Someone posted this at the CH board and I know most of you don't like that board and never go there, but I also know that y'all are scattered all over the arena and may have seen something that could help her recover the pictures of her kids. My intent is not to spam -- I don't think she knows about this forum.
My camera was stolen right after tonights game against the New Jersey Devils (03/15/07). It was stolen after the game ended and everyone was walking up the stairs to leave the arena. I sit in Section 121, Row Q right on the aisle. I was the one who had the sign that read, "Real Men Have Pink Sticks." The camera itself is not what means the most to me, it is the pictures of my children taking their first skating lessons and pictures that my children have taken at the games that we have attended this season. I have reported the stolen camera to the Raleigh Police Department and RBC Center Security, also I gave them the description of the man who stole it. It was a white male wearing a red shirt with a dark beard, and was more likely sitting in the lower rows of either Section 121 or Section 122. They looked at the surveillence cameras after the game to see if the man was still in the building. PLEASE, if you are the man who took my camera or if you know the person who took it, turn it in and NO questions will be asked. I just want the pictures of my children back, they mean alot to me and my family! Thanks
She later posted about the circumstances of the theft and it's just really sh*tty what some people do. =.(
If I had left the camera and come back for it later and it was gone I would have said exactly that, admitted my forgetfulness, begged for it back, blah, blah, blah. However, that is not what happened. Since you seem to need clarity on the subject let me be more specific. I had my camera draped between my husband's seat and mine, I left just before the game ended to go to the other side and my husband said he would stay at our seats until I returned because he has a broken ankle. As I was returning to our section I received a frantic call from him stating that as he stepped into the aisle to allow other people to get out, a man in the row behind grabbed the camera and took off. My husband yelled at him and tried to catch him but was of course slowed by his injury. I ran to the entrance to our section after alerting staff but our section opens at one of the doors to the arena. Several staff members as well as police officers were there almost immediately but by then the thief was gone. We are full season ticket holders as are the majority of the people around us . This guy is someone who was passing through and saw an opportunity and took it. As I have said before, I've replaced the camera I just wanted my pictures back. Even if I had forgotten it, it was not a quarter or dollar as someone else suggested, it was a camera which clearly belonged to someone. It was not turned in to the lost and found which makes it stolen. I hope this clears up any questions regarding the incident. Nuf said!!!
If you may have seen something or possibly have pictures of that section that you could share with her to maybe ID the person, it's this thread: http://forums.hurricanes.com/jforum/posts/list/7174.page
Thanks.
