I normally wouldn't post this here, but since it does pertain to metal detecting, and it is a todays find, I had to assume this would be acceptable.
Not sure why he would want to eat my shoes, but I hope he enjoyed it.

BP you're in luck. I buy truckloads of overstock goods and we just got in about 10 pallets of what you call metal detecting shoes. Send me your address and I'll send you a couple of pairs. Now theses are some inbred brand of Rat proof shoes Jpa's I believeve but i think you'll like em.

Rats eat pretty much anything, but particularly enjoy fruit and sweet foods.

You are apparently leaking toe jam into your sneakers.

Try wearing good socks, and changing them often.

Its a Fat Rat Rolex

That makes me wonder, did anyone ever return your headphones?? I was thinking the other day, if I lost my metal detector, I would sure hope someone would be decent enough to try and return it :thumbsup:

No never did find headphones they just vanished. I wouldn't hold my breath if you lost your detector but if someone found yours they'd properly feel sorry for you owning such inferior equipment and take a collection up and order you a Deus. You know they can't track detectors by serial numbers and if they took it in for service dealers are under Universal laws to report it. Kinda like pawn shops.

Thanks for the offer allen. I have more shoes. Just thought it was strange that a rat would do such a thing. Unfortunately theres no such thing as rat-proof around here.

I cant imagine losing my headphones. If I did lose them and someone returned them I would be very grateful, but unfortunately most people probably wouldn't return them.
Sorry to hear about your phones TBD, seems like karma will or should reward you.
