To the person who stole my flogger

[wheelieterp]

You took advantage of an open bag while I was busy doing my demo, bad me for not paying more attention. Good for you for spotting an oportunity.

And yes.. You scored big. That is a one of a kind, hand turned handle in oak and mahogany. The falls are 7 mm buffalo hide. A flogger like that would run you close to $400.00 (Edit: Ok.. closer to $200, I have found out, but STILL...), if you could find an artisan to make it for you.

Let me tell you how I got it... I certainly didn't commission it myself. It was given to me. By a woman who had been a player in the scene she loved for most of her life. A woman who was, at the time, too sick to play anymore. She wanted her toys to continue having the fun she was denied.

So, make sure you honor what you have taken... It has a history.. A story... And it is important that it is cherished, well used, and most importantly, it is important that it is honored.

Look up honor in the dictionary. You owe the flogger that much, you unbelievably heinous bundle of fucking scum.

Fuckers.

What a fucking asshat thing to do. I curse the person who stole that and hope they never get play again.
I hope that someone recognizes that flogger and it gets back to you.

it really sucks to think that someone in our community would do something so cold. i'm sorry. i feel like what is done with a flogger like that has a lot of sentiment and to think that someone will use that, knowing that they stole it shows a lot of emptiness. i feel for whoever they happen to end up playing with with YOUR flogger.

That flogger is very, very unique. It is also very closely identified with you. Safe to say there are a fairly large number of people that know you AND know that flogger AND know the history there.

Journeys rarely begin, evolve, or end the way we think they will or want them to. I'm willing to bet the person(s) temporarily in possession of it are about to find that out, just like you are right now.

My minions are here to assist you, love. I hope you not only get that flogger back; you get details regarding the misappropriation of same. I've unleashed the hounds!

Yup.

Good on ye' for respecting the history of the tool, first.

Wishing you all the well in the world.

Somebody's gonna find out that Karma's a bitch.

Stealing stuff is bad in and of itself, but stealing something with Much Mojo(tm) is guaranteed to attract a hefty karmic return.

I'm sorry dude.

Oh man. That is so wrong! How could anyone steal someone's flogger and then use it without feeling all oogey, creepy, slimy, wrong inside. So sucks!
The wife had a box of toys stored at a friend's house, including a bunch of whips made by Sarah Lashes. The entire box was stolen. You can't get Sarah's whips anymore.

Fuckers

one word: karma

follow up words: may karma make itself abundantly known by biting that sneaky, disrespectful, unconscionable klepto in the ass in the most unpleasant way possible.

Oh Bug...

Know this. Not sure if you were doing a demo in a bar - leather or not - or if it was at a dungeon... but considering it sounds like it was in a bar - take solace in knowing that the theft very well may have been perpetrated by some lowly drunk - and not a leatherperson. Although - come to think of it - I wish it had been a leatherperson - because that might have afforded the opportunity for a public thrashing had the idiot been brazen enough to attempt play in public with your cherished flogger.

Word to the wise - from Mommy. ASSIGN someone to watch your toybag while you are otherwise engaged - or resign yourself when going to events - and most especially in bars - to only bringing those toys with you that CAN be replaced (ie: not sentimental).

P.S. I lost a singletail that very same way...

Unbelieveable.

Just unbelieveable...

I just don't understand fuckers like that. Really I don't. I'm with everyone who's commented already, I hope that fuckwad's karma turns to sludge until they return your flogger. After that it may be upgraded to manure for a multiple of 3 times the length of time they keep it. That's just creepy no matter how I look at it because something like a flogger is so personalized and spiritual that I couldn't imagine stealing and then playing with something like that. Talk about some screwed up karma and mojo.

Stealing is as bad as lying (and one almost always leads to the other.) Hope you recover your flogger and that the theif is admonished accordingly.

Not to be a contradicktory dick, bit it's just a flogger - just an object. The connections you have with other people are more valuable. For example, your *story* of the flogger is worth more than the flogger itself.

But watch... I bet it turns up somewhere, somehow. The BDSM community is rather small. And then you'll have a new story to share! {grin}

[dodgingwndshlds.livejournal.com]

Not to be contrary to your contrariness, but I am gonna have to disagree with you on a couple of points:

First, objects, tools, especially tools of vocations, passions, or trades are imbibed with a sacredness for many people. The things we use to express ourselves with do have value.

Which leads me to my second objection: While it is true that people obviously have more value than objects (even objects that are so imbibed with a sacredness of vocation), that fact does not render object valueless.

Still, you do offer a check of perspective.

I'm sorry you lost your flogger Bug. That really does suck! The community is small. It will show up.
