reward notes: For information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons involved with the theft.

other notes: I don't need to tell other horse people how personal it is to loose work or show saddles, in my case, I worked long and hard to pay for these things. The people responsible left quite a bit of stuff hanging on the wall so I imagine it isn't horse people doing this.
