UPDATE!!! 6/29/2004 - 08:00 EDT

Yet another sword must be added to the list. A flamberge rapier with a nickel plated guard crafted by Scott and is irreplaceable. We've included pictures below.

Also, we have set up a reward fund for the person who supplies information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the theft. The reward amount is not being posted as it has been growing with donations from within our membership. We are hoping this leads to the recovery of our lost equipment.

In the event the equipment is anonymously returned, we won't be asking further questions.

Between Saturday, June 26, 2004, 7PM EDT and Sunday, June 27, 2004, 8AM EDT, members of Autumn Tree Productions, which includes ATACC, ATJ and GBU, were the victims of theft. In the darkness of night, someone went into the joust camp and staging area of the Vermont Renaissance Faire and stole approximate $4000 worth of armored and stage combat weapons, garb, armor and tools. When possible, we will try to add pictures of the stolen items. We're searching archive photos and video for images we can use here. Please keep checking back for updates.

Most of these items are irreplaceable, being custom made for their owners, sometimes by their owners. Please keep on the lookout and send any information you may have to stolen at gbuonline.com or stolen at autumntreeproductions.com.

The items stolen primarily belonged to Scott Rodlin, Stephen Pasker and Henry Arredondo.

This is not a joke, this is not a prank, this is theft. When we find the thief, they will be prosecuted. The faire community it small and these weapons are easy to spot. We have lots of eyes helping us. Please help spread the word among re-enactment groups, LARPs, the SCA and whereever you think is appropriate.
