Haven't read where it was posted but was told that some fellas mentioned there were some thefts on calls at Unicoi last year?  Can anyone confirm and elaborate?  If so that's sickening knowing the work that a lot of callmakers put in and the trust they show.

I can confirm.
I won't elaborate.

I would NOT wanna be caught participating in such foolishness by the "Unicoi folks".  The trial would, likely, be swift....

I can confirm it happened, was there Saturday morning when Mark made the announcement. Would not want that group of guys looking for me!

If they are caught, I hope we don't have to hear a lecture about how it wasn't really their fault; it is our fault as society for not providing them with enough.

We all know some of the guys that display at Unicoi.  You couldn't ask for a better, hard working bunch.

Pretty sure the explanation would be quite plain and concise.
