I am reporting that Hookmonster aka Bob has been caught and has admitted to stealing and scamming the bowlers here on ballreviews.
I spoke with the Officer in charge of the case tonight and he is going forward and will take the case to the State Attorney's office and will be charge.
I want to thank all the people for the information they forwarded to Mr Jensen and myself to help catch Bob and his girlfriend. Also I found out his brother is part of the ring also. The funny thing about the whole situation,Bob works in a bowling center !!!!!!!!
All but 2 balls have been found and the Officer will contact those to have them returned and the money will be returned also,but he could not tell me when.
I am so glad we caught this person and now he faces the chance of going to jail.
Thanks Again
James

I see too many instances (not just here) of people that decide that for $50-100 it isn't worth 15 minutes of time writing a letter or telephoning law enforcement, and it is that inaction that contributes to allowing the pond scum to continue to rip other people off.
If you get ripped off, take the steps to help excise that festering boil on the buttocks of the world...

If any of you get ripped off, hope you take the same action as Hammer did. These lowlifes will only get away with stuff if we let them.

Well that's good to hear, but if you think this guy's going to jail your wrong. He might get 1 year probation at most. Sometimes the legal-system if a joke.
If he gets probation, it is still a sanction...and there are a lot of people that screw up even a short period of probation. In most jurisdictions, probations are still a conviction, which means the little box on the employment applications and background checks has to be marked to show an arrest or conviction. If presently employed, an arrest or conviction can often be the basis for showing someone the door. Oh, and the prints will be in the system which means that the record of the arrest would exist basically forever...many prints submitted to the state database also create a record to be maintained in the NCIC database.
