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 Arrendando. Scott

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. But more than anything else,
we'd like to thank everyone at the Vermont Renaissance Festival who
have helped us in our time of need and given us support. In
particular, we'd like to thank the following:
Mattew Parkinson of MP Metalworks who fasioned a spear head in less
than an hour
Carl Von Sussen of Von Sussen Enterprises who donated a dagger to GBU
Jim Brule of The Vermont Renaissance Faire cast (who loaned us
several of his personal weapons)
Thank you, you will not be forgotten.
