The Last of the Space Mags appears to be gone now too

[AirAssault]

Sucks but my question is why would you keep your personal paintball items at a store?

[OneUp]

If you can't find proof of ownership you might want to contact the IRS and see where the Space Mag will be put up for auction. That way you can at least buy it back.

Speaking of which, how would he go about finding out where it will be put up for auction?

[Bolter]

Somebody might try to contact PGI and see if anyone has the original negative in a file somewhere.

Doc.

I will ask the editor, and get back to you.

[Doc Nickel]

That'd be great, if you could. Perhaps, hoping against hope, the photographer has more shots than just the one.

Good point! I will ask that aswell :)

I never made a point of endorsing or supporting Rogue Paintball, simply because Kirt(the owner) was business minded and I am a little more liberal with my approach to things. Though we did not see eye to eye on many issues, Kirt and I had a fair and honest relationship where we helped each other out. For him to just slink into the shadows like this is not really like him. I understand that it's a hard time for him, and he's more than likely got a few people after him for various reasons. If I would get my Spacemag back from him all of a sudden, I could say Kirt has never done me wrong, since we have never let our differences, or anything else come between us. We went our separate ways and kept our relationship, however superficial it was, intact.
I'm really pissed at Marie, who is the girl who took him to the cleaners. Kirt was just stupid enough to fall for her charades, and he has lost his business because of it. My loss of the Spacemag is small compared to his, but I'm still fuming because it has gotten this far for me. Trying to explain anything like this to a government official is a waste of my time. I know full well how those robots work, and there is little to be done there.
The fate of the Spacemag lies with Kirt for now, so let's hope that there's still some kind of chance that he'll be able to recover it.

Dan is in germany, and the german police have a bad habit of not liking his "guns" so I guess he assumed it was safer in the states, and why not show it off at a store?

i wouldn't blame him hiding, there are things more important than the space mag.

and how did she ever manage to do this? (what exactly did she do?)

[magmonkey]

I am going up to maine for a while in the next couple weeks, I will dig around with some of the ballers I know up there ans see if I can find anything out for you if you would like

[Will Wood]

Man reading this again makes me really mad. I didn't know Kirt to well, but we knew each other. He was always such a nice guy willing to go out of his way to help. Met him at Cosmic/Galaxy Bowling the night before a tourney at his place, and he offered me 50% off paint if I beat him. Now he's a wicked good bowler so he smoked me, but still gave me 50% off. My gun broke down during said tournament and lent me one of his guns. The list goes on of the things this guy did to help a fellow paintballer out. Too bad this isn't a guy that did this because then all the Maine Paintballers could kick his ***.


Even though this was a relationship type thing, and she probably had her name on all the accounts or whatnot, is it possible any laws where broken here? Or can she sit around and brag about all this? There has to be a way to get something back from her.

unrelated.. but Dan's post reminded me of him offering to make a triggernomics for someone as a prize, and me having no idea what that was being the noob I was then, was thinking "Man that would sound cool on my M98 Custom" .. Hahaha I'm glad I lost, I would have been angry I wasted it on my 98.

magmonkey-no need to look, I've got people looking around. Thanks though.

Though Kirt could rub some people the wrong way, there is no doubt that he was a fair business man and ran the best place for a newbie to be getting into the game. He tried very hard to make people happy, and his business was going well despite many setbacks over the years.
I am sure that this is not what he wanted, and I honestly don't know the details. Many around him could see the writing on the wall, but Kirt didn't until it was too late.
What happens now and who bears responsibility is for the legal system to sort out. I have witnessed one other occasion where the IRS stepped in, and I saw a family lose its home and all of its belongings, so I'm not holding out much hope except that Kirt might have stashed the gun somewhere else at the last minute. That would be very unlike him though.
Since I can't get in touch with him anymore, I can't find out what fate this gun has suffered.

Ahhh I see. I know Germany and paintball very well, lived there for 3 years and SAW a few of my friends PB markers taken by the Polizei. Gotta have the F stamp man. I would pick up items for my friends, markers and such. An 02 an angel speed that we could get here in the states for $750 would run ya about 1k in Germany.

The mother of a friend of mine is an IRS agent, so I gave them a call to ask about your situation. Keep in mind that Mom is a reasonable agent.

Since you can't get in touch with Kirt, try calling the local IRS branch and find out who is the agent in charge of this case. Write the agent a letter or call them to explain your situation. Mom said that if you say the marker is yours, and Kirt says it is yours (I bet you that the IRS can get in touch with him. ), then there is a good chance that you will get it back. This is even if you don't have anything in writing proving that it.

Obviously, paperwork showing ownership will help a great deal. She also said that your chances might be better if Kirt also took in markers for repair, since logic would dictate that he might have gear that wasn't his.

That was the gist of what she said. If you want me to ask any other questions, I will be happy to call Mom and ask.
