Moab / Theft / This community is great!

Hey, as everyone who was at Moab probably knows, Our rental car was
broken into in our hotel parking lot sometime during Friday night of
the festival. Whoever broke in was trying to steal the car (we suspect)
but could hotwire it. So they took everything of value that was in the
car; including my uni.

I talked to Rolf and he let me borrow a unicycle of his own for the
weekend (Thank you Rolf!)
At the pasta dinner on Saturday he announced that my uni had been
stolen and requested that we pass around a hat so everyone could donate
a few dollars to fund my new uni. When the hat was finished passing
there was $300 in it!

I am really impressed that everyone was willing to donate to buy a guy
they'd never met before a new uni. I don't think I could get that kind
of support from anyone else. You guys are great!

In addition, John Drummond from Unicycle.com has offered to give me a
discount on a new unicycle, which is very generous of him.

I just wanted to make it known that everyone who donated to my new uni
fund gets a well deserved thank you. I am very appreciative.

Thanks,
Seamus

P.S. The uni that was stolen was an older model QU-AX 24" Muni with a
rail adapter seat post. If anyone sees this uni for sale on EBAY or
anywhere else please let me know immediately so I can notify police and
catch the thief. Thanks again.

Wow. A bad situation (flying out to Utah to have your unicycle stolen
before a weekend of riding) turned into a positive situation
(unicyclists coming together, loaning you a unicycle, and helping you
fund a new one). Once again this shows how great and generous the
unicycle community is towards each other.

I read this then told my wife the story, before I could comment she
stated how nice the unicycle folks are. Hopefully you'll have your
new ride soon, and hopefully they'll also nab the person or people who
did this.

That's awesome and that is how most unicyclist are. Very nice and
friendly, which is one of the reasons why I've stuck with it for over
18 years...went to every NAUCC since '92, every Unicon since '94 and
every MOAB since '06 and plan to go to them for years and years to
come!
