Lake Alatoona riding last sunday, missing tools...

[Stukas]

Last sunday when we were all riding at Victoria on Alatoona i loaned some tools to a guy on a couch who needed to tighten some exhaust manifold bolts. Well, i just brought my tool box down to the beach where we were all sitting and told him to help himself, thinking as a fellow jetskier on the beach with all of us, he would be careful and respectful with my tools. He tried to fix it, said the bolts were broken, but thanks anyway, the tool box was shut when i went back to it, so i assumed he put the tools back and shut it. Well, today i went in the tool box for the first time since sunday, and the socket, and ratchet he borrowed are missing. There were alot of us there that day, does anyone know the guy who i loaned the tools to? I think he was riding an older Sea Doo HX. If anyone knows him, i hope he didnt take them intentionally, but i would like my tools back.

Was it the guy who Tiny was helping with his carbs?
If so he might know him.

 

[Stukas]

Not sure, i didnt see Tiny helping anyone with their carbs, what type of ski was it?

 

[boggs]

i wasnt there, but was it a guy in his 20's? cuz if so there is a guy that goes to my college that has an hx and rides around there.

 

[Stukas]

He was an older guy, well older than me, im 21...i would guess he was 30-35, heavier set guy...

btw, what college do you go to?

 

[RonnyMac]

Is this the guy?
If so, this is Duane. He's a really good guy. If he has your tools he will def return them. He is a member here too. Board name duane.

 

[Stukas]

no thats not the guy, he didnt go out to eat with us afterwards, so im not even sure anyone here knows him, he might have just wandered up needing tools. But no, not Duane

The search continues...:banghead:

Thanks Ronny,
No, it was not me. I do remember a guy on a 1995 HX that never left the ramp area and another guy he was with with riding what I think was a 1994 XP. The 1995 HX had the nose bumber off it and looked as if he was broke down.

Yeah, i saw him just sitting there, but since my head was in the carbs of a GTX for the better part of the afternoon, I dont remember anyone borrowing any tools.....
