All functional belt order will have to be refunded

Hey guys,

This is not what I wanted, and I'm truley sorry I will have to refund everyone on functional belts.

Yesterday was just more than I could handle. Yesterday my car was stolen which had all the belts and boxes and supplies in. I was taking it with me so I could work on what was left. I did make a report but I don't think I'm going to get my supplies back the way they were.

Yesterday I took my fiance the the doctor for a check up. We were both devistated to find out that we miscarried. That is when we left to find out that my car was no longer in the parking lot. I'm still in a bit of shock with everything and I'm sorry for not posting this yesterday when it happened but I wasn't up to talking much yesterday.

The only thing I can offer you guys is a full refund or if you still need a belt, I can offer you a non-functional as I have plenty of those still, and just refund you the difference. I do get paid today and will refund you all, just please bear with me as there are a few of you. I would like to refund in order of payments recieved if thats ok with everyone.

Again I really don't know what to say or how to apologize more. So if you have a belt order from me, please pm me what you would like, full refund or a non-functional plus refund difference, and your pp addy and I will get with you.

Thank you all, and again I am truly sorry.

Man I was just about to PM on my nonfunctional belt. I'm so sorry to hear all that Taco. I hope they find your car and belts the way they were. Good luck man.

Oh wow. . . sorry to hear about what happened. Hope you guys are doing OK.

sometimes I forget about the world we live in. I live in a small town and we just dont have that much crime. worst we have around here is bicycles get stolen and the occasional mail box vandalized. our last murder in this town was probably 5 years ago.. that was pretty big... hopefully things balance back out. I dont know you personally, but in the short time ive been here you come across on this board as very well liked and respected member. I really hope things get better for you and your family.

Taco, I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you...

I'm very sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself and your family.

As for my belt... that's the least of my worries. If you need the cash right now, take your time. I don't want you to get hit with cash issues on top of it all. Take the fiancé out for a nice dinner or cook her something romantic. Just don't worry about my belt or the money.

When the dust settles and you get back on your feet, we can figure out about the belt issue.

Take care of yourself and your family.

Wow Taco, sorry to hear about your news bro. lets hope they get the bastards who stole your car and that you and your fiance will be blessed again soon.

Oh man, I am so sorry to hear about everything.
I wish you and your loved ones the best.

I didn't order from you but if it is of any comfort at all here in OKC we recover 98% of all stolen cars within 48 hours. Almost all of the m with just minor damage. Most thieves use them for joy riding or a quick form of transportation. The days of the Chop-Shops are almost non existent. You stepping up and refunding the purchases is GREAT karma and you know things come back around.

Sorry bruv... that sucks about the belts! As Ben says, I hope they catch the B@stards!
I hope you and your fiance recover from this very soon...

Sorry to hear this bro, PM sent

Very sorry to hear of your losses.

Taco, man thats terrible!!! You and your fiance are in my prayers guy.

Thank you guys for all your kind words, I'm taking off work early today to go be with Jessica at home. She's taking a few days off from work and I don't want her to be at home alone for too long. I appericate those who pm'd me with your patiance. I will pm you all back as soon as I can.

Good grief, man!

Sorry for your loss and I hope that everything is returned to you.

My thoughts are with you.

That is truley a horrible turn of events. I hope everything works out soon.

**** man,
this sucks. May the bastard who stole your stuff rot in hell! So sorry to hear about your loss.

Hoping things get better soon for you and your girl. PM sent.

So sorry to hear about the cruel hand you've been dealt. Hope things turn around for you and your fiance.

Jesus, when it rains it pours.....So sorry to hear about this.

I'm sorry to hear of the news Taco. I hope you get your car and equipment back safely. I also do wish you and your fiance the best during this rough time.

As for the members that ordered from him....
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you all that he is a stand-up guy. I've ordered from him recently and was very pleased at not only his level of professionalism, but also the fact that he goes the extra step to make sure everything is exactly as it should be!

He'll make good on his word! I think we all need to stand up and applaud him for what he has done for us so far. It's all too easy for many of us to play "point the blame" and say that because of "X", then "Y and Z" can't or won't happen. But most of the time we don't take the time to truely thank the individual or individuals that help us get to where we are.

I would like to personally thank Taco for his hard work, and for his due diligence in coming forward and letting us all know what happened. I believe that is the mark of a true friend to us all. My bucket is off to you and I hope things get better for you very, very quickly.

Sorry to hear your news bud, you seem like a really nice guy, the scum thats stole your car need a good kicking, hang in there tho Im sure your fortunes will turn around soon

Sorry to hear this very sad news.

You have my prayers.

Very sorry to hear man......Hope evrything picks up for you and yours.

My deepest condolences, Taco. I certainly hope things will turn out for the best.

i wasn't in on that functional belt run, but in the past you've always been good to me. you're a stronger man than i, after news of a miscarriage and then my car stolen i would have completely lost it. i hope your car is recovered quickly, and don't give up on having kids. and may you be blessed with a little one soon.

WOW man talk about some ****! I am so sorry to hear this and anything I can do to help you out let me know!

Taco, our prayers and good wishes are with you and Jessica, as well!!!

99cent hang in there buddy...

Bro, you are a class act
Sorry to hear about your circumstances
God bless you & yours

Wayii! You and your wife are in my prayers ner vod. And as for the ge'hutuun who stole your car, ibac aruetyc chakaar jurkadir sha mando, he'll pay sooner or later.

This deeply saddens me and Danny. We hate to hear about bad things happening to good people. The good news is that there is fun in trying to make another miracle happen. You guys are young and I have no doubt you will be blessed again. Let your wife know that she and you are in our thoughts. You are a great guy with a good heart, and I have no worries in knowing that this will all turn around for you soon. PM me if you need anything. I've been told that I am a good ear.
all our love D&D

Taco,

Three+ years ago, my wife miscarried, too. It was very hard on us, but we got through it, and now our baby girl will be turning two next month. She is my darling sunshine, and I love her and our son deeply.

Take your time to heal, and mourn, but this too shall pass. When the time is right, you'll keep trying.

As for the rest of it, don't sweat the material stuff. It will work itself out, and I have no doubt the fine members of this board will be more than understanding.

Take it easy, and take care of you and your girl.

kibosh

Taco,

I'm sorry to hear about your loss...my thoughts and prayers got out to you and your gal. Stay strong and keep the faith.

Stay safe,

Tim.

First of just want to thank you all for your kind word. Jessica thanks you all as well. She is doing well and I know we will recover.

I want to thank everyone again.

I've had a few people helping me out around here, and even Tandy. My manager told my corp office and they know about the belts I make for you guys and sent me a box full of large scarp leather, (the same kind I use for the belts) for free. So I have lots of leather to use and work with. I don't have any functional boxes but I have much to do non-functionals.

I'll be giving shipping updates as well as refund updates within 24-48 hours.

Hey bro if and when your car gets recovered let me know and any damage it may or might have. I can get you replacement parts super cheap. I can find stuff even in your area. Let me know again if you need anything!

Hey Taco, I've been off the boards for a bit and missed this, but I'm sorry to hear about everything going on. Thoughts and prayers are with you!

Charlie

Wow, sorry to hear about everything mate. Stay strong and I'm sure the both of you will pull through this okay.

taco, i feel for you man. like someone posted above, there are more real things for you to worry about than these belts. take your time with mine. I am sure your car will be recovered.

Hey bud,
Any word on what's going on? Did they ever find your car?

i didn't order any belts, but i do sympathize with you. it's a **** shame this had to happen to you, but everything happens for a reason. i hope everything works out for you. you'll be in my prayers tonight, master taco.

99 sorry man I missed this thread! Yeah no big deal I would take a non-functional in lew of a refund. A non functional ROTJ will be fine. Sorry again for the stuff thats happening. Let me know!

Hey Taco, I seemed to have missed this thread. I hope you and your wife are doing alright, and I hope they find your car soon.

Rough times these days; stay safe mate.
