Supposedly they took drivers and other golf stuff. If you see cheap drivers (assuming TM because they were missing when I went to look in the store)  on Ebay, report them.

Yes, it was the Jackson, TN store. Thieves got away with more than $11,000 worth of TaylorMade golf clubs, Titleist golf balls, and golf simulators.

Happened it Pittsburgh a couple years back when the R9 came out.  A couple went in and cut the shafts so they could walk out with the heads.  They hit a couple Dicks Sporting Goods and then were caught selling the stuff at local flea markets.

That is a huge loss. We'll keep an eye out. 1 of those golf simulators probably costed around $5k-$15k.

Usually stuff like this is an inside job.

TM got the last laugh. The value of all the stuff taken is plummeting as new stuff will be released in the next few months.
