I did exactly the same and lost my beloved Hibs Tartan lambswool scarf after the final.
I was in the Percy and had a great night celebrating our win, it was choccers, so I probably lost it in there.

Next day down at Leith Links, next to Hanlon Hill, I saw a guy out with his Staffy, and the mutt had a lambswool Hibs Tartan scarf tied round its neck.
I know Hibs Tartan scarfs all look the same but I just know that was mine :-( .....ah well, it was a superb weekend, so i hope the mutt is still keeping warm while wearing it

GGTTH

They don't even make the same one now.
I've obviously bought another but it's just not the same.
White with green letters and green tassels .
There are others similar , but they just don't have the same feel.

Still , at least it was held aloft at Hampden on 21st May .

Gone but not forgotten

Yep, I've replaced mine with another lambswool one, and my laddie bought me one of the Scottish Cup Winners one too.
They're both great scarves, but we all get a bit attached to scarves that we've had for a few years eh
I've never usually got much time for anything related to Hertz, but in this case, i hope that old jambo gets his scarf back.

Virtue signalling.

And expression invented by the virtueless.

Agree completely in general terms and instantly regretted using it. Apart from anything else it gives other elements of the virtueless the opportunity to fixate on it and ignore the general argument.

lots of thieves and villians who are Hibs fans.

I find that very hard to believe reading this thread.

Is the thread title cockney rhyming slang for your user name?

[WhileTheChief..]

Damn. Outed.

Figured no one would suspect me of being a Hearts fan but you sussed it!

Launch me

[Sioux]

Just back in.

Well what a hullabaloo.

My point was the fact that some of the responses from Hertz fans was to suggest that it wisnae a hertz fan that stole the jacket. Apologies for for not making clear.

I did think it was funny that a most likely mature gentleman would turn up at a dinner with a 60 badge scarf on.

Did it have a poppy on it ?

My thoughts exactly.
Was one a poppy badge?
The old bill should be all over that. There is a firm over that way with previous.

I think any decent person's first emotion on hearing the story should be - empathy. If it isn't, you should probably be a wee bit worried aboot yersel'. This is nowt to do with rivalry.

People who don't feel empathy tend not to worry about it in most cases

I got a programme nicked from under my seat at ER. It must have been taken from someone sitting right beside me,, and they all knew I wasn't a regular so that programme meant alot to me. Stealing from 'your own' is truly disgusting.
But kindness is always there too as a total stranger came up to me & gave me his programme in the pub afterwards. Someone had mentioned it to him.

My sympathies on having something stolen that meant a lot. I’d say that stealing is truly disgusting, whether from ‘your own’ or not though. A thieving ******* generally won’t stop to consider the finer details of the person that they are stealing from.

Is this what we're reduced to? Laughing at someone who's had their things stolen due to who they support?

Not Hibs class for me.

As you say, it's not Hibs class to mock this man.

Theft is despicable.

I think that leaving prized possessions in an unguarded cloakroom was rather näive. I genuinely feel for the guy but his actions were ill advised given the somewhat dubious company he was in.

First part : Hibs crass
Second part : Hibs class

I assume pointing out his own club was partial to some theft from society's most vulnerable to get one over on us would frowned upon?

[Ronster117]

One unfortunate jambo after the last derby decided he no longer wanted his season ticket for the pbs so nailed it to a tree.... when he got home he thought better of it and decided to return and get it back. When he arrived at the tree the ticket was lying on the ground... some dirty thieving ****bag had stolen his nail.

I notice that a few Hertz fans on JKB have expressed appreciation of this thread ... 'to be fair there's a few decent Hibs fans posting on it' ... that sort of thing.

So just to be clear, the following stuff is set in concrete no matter how many scarves you steal from each other:

Hearts are ****
Your new stand is ****, as is the rest of the rust arena
Your team is ****
Gorgie is a soulless dump
Your manager is a classless tramp
You are not 'famous' no matter how often you say it
You haven't won the League cup for 60 years
Two Scottish cups in return for destroying your clubs reputation and coming within a baw hair of its total annihilation wasn't 'worth it'
Referring to other clubs fans as 'vermin' is shan banter .... unless you are looking forward to a 4th Reich.
Owning a Rover a cardigan and driving gloves doesn't make you superior to the rest of us.
Winning WW1 was a joint effort ... you couldn't have done it without the Americans.
Releasing strips commemorating a man whose opinion of the poor fell just short of suggesting they be put in camps would never be tolerated at ER.

And finally ... what exactly is 'a Hearts man' ... Its like you lot are living in a re run of Brideshead revisited or Chariots of fire. Do you know Farquhar? Oh yes he's a fine upstanding chap just as you would expect from a good Eaton and Oxford man. Hearts man

Anyway ... hope your pal has found his scarf

[hibby6270]

Is it just me or has everyone completely missed the point of the OP and the thread title?

When I read it, my immediate thoughts turned to the irony of something being stolen from what I assume was a Hearts charity dinner and the connection to our constant reminders on this forum that Hearts are charity thieves. This incident merely highlighted it further - no?

If that was the reason behind the OP then I see what he was trying to say even if it was said in a strange way. I don’t believe anyone on here believes their fans are charity thieves. It’s the club itself we level that accusation at.

That said I agree with everyone else, that having a treasured possession inadvertently taken or worse, stolen, is the lowest of the low. Whoever took it must have realised at some point it wasn’t theirs.

Hope he is reunited with the scarf and badges soon.

In a nutshell.
Going on a night out with a scarf covered in irreplaceable badges?

Speaking as a collector I find the man to be an attention seeking erse.
