so cute!

I'm sorry, but did you even have the courtesy to read the description before commenting? This is kinda a crisis

This ^

People should read descriptions more often. They aren't there for nothing. I'll try to keep an eye out. How hard can it be to spot a panda?

Exactly.
There are not many Panda suits out there, plus almost everyone knows him.
I really hope they find the suit. I can't believe someone was cruel enough to steal it....... *sigh*

the question is how did they steal it?

Basically, a fur was allowed access to PG's stuff shortly after his passing by him mother, and took more than he was supposed to. That is the short version, and we're avoiding saying much more in case legal action needs to be taken...

I'll keep an eye out for it as well, hope you find it and the person who stole it gets punished!

Its a well known fact that some furries can't be bothered to read the description so you get furs like as mentioned above who just comment without even taking the time to read the goddamn description and know it was a crisis on hand.

wow lol XD

Dude, read first.

And obviously you didn't bother, here's a TL;DR: Someone stole the fursuit shown in the picture soon after the original owner passed away.

Pandarian :3?

REALLY?!?! :: facepaw ::

First, the word is "Pandaren."

Second, this has nothing to do with World of Warcraft, or Kung Fu Panda, or any of that.

Third, read the description. The comment you made was empty-minded and inconsiderate to the situation.

Just a joke, sorry if you got offended. :p

Havent seen much panda suits. Great thing it was found.

why is this happening so much lately??? stolen suits are worthless in a fandom like this!

Exactly

THIS^^^^

I agree, stolen fursuits are completely worthless in a fandom like this, but with the price people charge to make them nowindays you are going to have people who want one and feel there is no other way for them to get one. That is what scares the bejeezus out of me - no one in their right mind would think they could get away and use a stolen fursuit like this except for private use, and the thought of one of Jon's suits (which he kept squeaky-clean) being used like that depresses me to no end....

Stolen Suit = Private sex fetish fursuit. Sadly.

shit, i hate to agree that that's a very possible thing.

I know right? Ihhave seen so many stolen suit reports! :(
Wtf?! But glad this one was found :)

Wow, this fandom never ceases to amaze me sometimes. Sad.

That's a sick thing to do

I really hope you get it back.

This is so sad to hear... I hope they find the person and prosecute them.

Someone stole PG's suit... WTF!?

Technically, it cannot be accounted for - but yeah, Fran suspects a particular person lifted it. So I'm asking everyone to spread the word, share the links, and basically put the heat on. We're hoping if the person realizes the jig is up once anyone in the fandom sees it, he might give it up now before more drastic measures are taken.

No solid proof though? If it's a reasonable suspicion the police can be brought in possibly.

That is being considered.

Police can't do much...I doubt you have enough probabl casuse to do a search and seisure of the fur in questions proeprty, especially now that he know's it's disapearence has been noticed

Asuming it's not just buried in a piel of plush or accidently taken (unlikely)

that proofs the police is lazy you is right they would of track the thief down and bring it back

Not lazy. Overworked and overbooked, yes. What's more important, tracking down a missing fursuit or a missing child, an attacker or even killer, or who caused the accident that sent three people to the hospital? Many towns have cut their police force even more with the loss of revenue from lower house values shrinking tax incomes. Not that they were running with a full complement of men to start with. I'm sorry, but I can not take "lazy" being ascribed to any police force in the nation today.

they are lazy bro when my dad's car got stolen and when some1 broke into my house and stolen alot of stuff the police didnt cover it and it took them a long time to show up

maybe the police just don't like you then

That isnt funny

I just cant believe it. Someone allowed in the house as a trusted friend. Who would steal a passed on friend's stuff?
I am beyond amazed here.

Clearly it wasn't a friend

wow they are scum to steal some thing so personal i hope the person who stole it gets lynched

This is fucking unbelievable! Why would anyone want to, and be so stupid, to steal such a well known suit? And one that meant so much to Jon! Gods, this makes me sick!

A misguided need for having something from pandaguy to remember them by? Though I doubt that is quite the case...

Well that's the last thing I exected to happen. WOW. Hopefully this'll be resolved without too much issue.

Who does she think took it? Note me because i was one of the guys who was helping with the plush collection.

Hope its found soon and the worthless sack of bones who took it is fully punished.

Un-be-fucking-levable.

Hope it turns up safe and sound.

how could anyone do that to him?

Ill keep an eye out.... stolen suits seems to be the big crime latly in the fandom!

hopefully you guys find it safe and undamaged.

yah that makes no sense, i have seen that suit, it would be next to impossible to hide a suit that size without noticing it. and to wear it, thats easy enough to spot. i hope its recovered safely and without damage

thats low he was a great fur an a furend stealing his fursuit thats just wrong

so sad :( favin' to spread the word

Unbelievable. This is sad.

it's disgusting.. that's just like going to someones grave, digging them up and stealing the jewelry they were buried with..

Whoever did it, wants more than a stern talking too!

I don't know why anyone would steal a Fursuit. Beyond the obvious lacking of a moral fiber it shows, do people not think the fandom really wouldn't notice that?

Plus whoever it is, Alot of furs are gonna be soo mad at them, and most of the fandom will be at there front door banging!

faved it to boost the signal - I hope this gets found soon...

Also faved to raise awareness

Stealing a fursuit is like stealing a famous painting - you can never display it or let it be seen as people would immediately spot it. Whoever the thief is, they've taken something they can never be seen wearing.
What a low, nasty thing to do.

It's the same as burning it, essentially.

sick people out there man

Now spreading the word around Facebook too, I hope it's returned in a good condition to where it should be. Wishing you all the best from here in Blighty. All my love.

Will keep it in mind and spread the word.

Ill share this. This is disrespect for the dead and the grieving. Disgusted at whoever would do that.

Faving to spread the word and re-blogging

Who take that?

Christ, this is unbelievable. That sick bastard that took it needs to give it up.

i cantbelieve someone would do that that aint right, theres only one person i know of that used to hang out with him that had a build to fit that suit. im keeping the thoughts to myself though

was incorrect in my theory not sure who it is but its wrong that it was stolen like that i hope its found and returned

That's awful. Why would people do such a thing...

It's sad enough we lost an awesome friend. Then for some jerk to make things even worse by doing this. I hope one of us finds it. How long have you all known it was missing before posting about it? Since October seems like quite a while.

This breaks my heart. To whoever took his fursuit: Word is out and you will be found. Ultimate shame and disgrace to you.

Faved and retweeted it. I'll keep my eyes open on eBay too.

I don't know why you'd steal something like that. You can't wear it in public, or sell it anywhere online without getting caught. You could probably pawn it for a few bucks but the suit would have been tailored to PG's size, and anyone who buys it would probably thick it for a mascot for a shop or school, and then later found and accused, and have it seized as stolen property, and no one wants that hassle.

But to be sure... Do check your local pawn shops for the next little while, and if you find it, don't buy it. Instead, tell them to hold on to it for a week and that you'll beat offers, then get the cops. I've seen so many stolen goods end up in shops (a few of a friend's guitars once upon a time, and a few were already sold and lost forever.).

That's horrible. What an indescribable act of theft!

Incredibly disrespectful, I hope he appears again.

Linked on FB to spread the word

that is wrong any body that steals from someone who is dead should deserve to spend time in jail its gross and wrong i hop u find out who did this and i will keep eye out

Retweetet! Stealing a suit is the lowest thing possible ever! I was devistated when I misplaced my suit but I got it back safe and sound. Hopefully the evil slime/dirtbag/piece of crap (I know you all have fetishes out there so i put in a few so people don't have to be offended) is caught and prosecuted! SEND EM TO HEAVEN! They don't deserve to yiff in hell! XD

I'll mention about this on Radio Unifurse this evening.

Thanks a million.

I've just done a quad-retweet on Twitter and with my high-number of followers, the word should spread like wildfire :3

i got my eyes peeled for this suit and will watch furbuy like a hawk for it. Hope you can catch them soon!!!!

Sigh, disgraceful behaviour...

People need to show more respect then this. Will be watching the web out for this.

That suit belongs to PandaGuys mom and Family !! how sick can anyone be !! my feelings go out to the family of PandaGuy in the hope that the suit is returned !!

I don't understand suit-theft - Anyone in the fandom would recognize it immediately at any con, I think. It's a really awesome looking suit - I hope it's found and returned to whoever is supposed to have it now. My sympathy to the family and friends - having to track down a stolen suit is beyond "adding insult to injury". Shame on the thief.
-Dyngo

This is just a disgrace and I hope whomever has it will give it back. Like someone mentioned up there it's a disgrace to PG and us who are still grieving over his passing. I wonder if he's looking down and wondering who took it..never know.

I posted a link on my FA pages,and well as FB. I have many other Furs spreading the news. There are many great furs out there. It will be found.

Jon was a great furend to many of us. And just can not believe someone was so stupid to do something like this.

This actually deeply saddens me :/ wow..

Wow steal a dead person's fursuit.
That's really rude.

I too was one of the locals assisting her. I received an email from her about the loss and potential names of folks who could potentially be responsible. If anyone hears anything, PLEASE let me know and (since I am local), I may be able to assist!

Spreading this all over FB. Hopefully the suit turns up once word gets out.

This is horrible who could do such a thing

I'm spreading the word on every account that i have on every site! i hope this piece of shit is caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law! ppl make me sick...

I hope they get severely punished for their actions. It is down right low to steal a deceased persons fursuit.

I imagine this relates to that guy who you posted a journal about before. So is he even a friend of PG? Or just some weird guy who wants his stuff?

I cannot say much in case legal action is taken, but the short version is that a local was allowed access to PG's stuff shortly after his death, and apparently helped himself to more than what he was supposed to take. It could be a weird case of wanting something to remember Jon by, a twisted sense that he had done something to deserve it, or perhaps just plain theft. What worries me is, in this fandom, a stolen fursuit that is well-known is pretty much useless. It's like stealing a famous painting. So, most likely it was stolen for "private use" - and considering Jon kept his suits squeaky clean that thought alone disgusts the Hell out of me...

I was going to say...to play devil's advocate to a fault, it was probably more this guy not being malicious, but more thinking he deserved the suit or felt he knew what's best for it. I can see him probably just keeping it in his house and never wearing it. Though if he does...ouch.

In any case I hope you get the suit back, this is so ridiculous.

Spreading this

its fursuit theif hunting season screw the rabbit duck bit help find this suit

That's horrible

While the act of stealing the suit is a terrible thing to do, I wonder what the motivation behind it was.
Is is possible that someone felt such a loss, they wanted something personal to remember him by? And in this fandom, few things are as personal as a suit.

Regardless, I hope you are able to quickly recover this.

ok stealing a suit is bad, but stealing it after they pass away is just sick and disrespectful, theres a special place in hell for those that dishonor the dead like this, hopefully it is found or was just simplify misplaced

The fact that someone has stolen the fursuit is bad enough, but to know that the person has stolen it off of someone who recently died just makes me sick to my stomach, I may not be that much help me living in the UK and all but I will try my best to help.

faved, tweeted and I'll keep my eyes open. absolutey disgusting behaviour.

Man people are soo stupid, why would you steal something like this??? Ill keep my eyes open in case it turns up in my area

Dammit furrys stop stealing suits.
That's like the worst possible thing you could do in the fandom.

Shared on twitter and faving for spreading awareness.

I'd especially keep an eye on sites like Furbuy and so forth since it's more likely the culprit will try to sell it than wear it, unless they're just that dense :/

Either way, I'll fave this too

So someone who was allowed in his house... took it. You have an idea who it was?
thats more than sad. I mean.. thats like the saddest thing I have heard in a long time. :(

who would steal a well known suit, whoever took it must be pretty stupid and messed up. i faved it to spred the word and will keep an eye out for it!

spreading this to my facebook! :)

Many layers to how fucked up this is. Its someone else's suit, wearing it is kinda gross. Wearing someone's suit that you've stolen makes you a terrible human being. Stealing a suit from someone who has passed away is despicable. I don't often get a chance to use that word. Favorited to spread the word.

I think I have Ocicat on my messenger cuz I have bought his husky suit from him on an auction site, but my question is who would do such a thing like that? I'll definitely spread the word.

Here is my pimpage: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4252861/

posted to my journal. i hope they find it :(

I've been helping out as well and was so disappointed and in disbelief when we realized it was missing. It upsets me to think that someone took advantage of her kindness and trust like this.

I've linked to this on Twitter, hope that's ok. I hope it can be found.

I dont know if this is it. but i am always on this site and this is the first time i have seen any panda stuff on here. so i find it kind odd but here is the link
http://www.furbuy.com/auctions/1038849.html
i dont know if it is it

Nah, that's not it. For a start, the eyes are a different colour.

eyes are different shape and colour, and length of pile is longer on the fur buy item, good spot though means people are looking,.

This is aweful! Just terrible... :_(

This makes me fucking sick

Fav'd to spread the werd

The idea that someone would steal a fursuit is just asinine. I'll keep my eyes peeled. I'll ask around.

That's horrible, I will be on the lookout for the suit at Furry Fiesta and FWA.

Ugh, seriously? :I

Truly shocking, I've heard of people getting their fursuit stolen before, but never from a deceased person, how friggan low. What would you even do with it? You can't wear it, you can't sell it, because people will recognize it. ESPECIALLY a panda suit. How many of those do you know of?

*Sigh* I'll be spreading the word and keeping my eye out on the auction sites and so on.

will watch for it!

Thanks! Saw a furry friend post this on Facebook. I am spreading the word.

thats awful im helping spread the word down here in NC if it shows up hope the perp is caught ><

I will keep my eyes open. It don't matter what the reason is. It. Is vile and an injustice to his memory. A totally selfish thing and hope the person gets caught soon. I got this from twitter and plan to retweet it.

i never knew he died untill now

How can someone walk in a house, pick a huge suit and get unnoticed? Even weirder, steal it for what reason, now the whole fandom is like a hawk's eye, waiting to spot it.

Ouch, dear thief.

i guess no1 really cared who ever saw him stealing it but that isnt right they just let him sit there and take it i bet you ppl saw him stole it

His mother was more then a little distracted, not sure who else would have been there at the time and the sheer size of the house, and the amount of stuff in it, it wouldn't be that hard

If it was given, by his mother, to someone after they asked for a momento of him, that would be ok, but outright taking it? Disgusting.

Stealing a dead man suit... yep it would be recognized if worm the way it is. However if the their had the suit modified.. say stripping or polka dots.. .. taken in to fit the suitor.. and modified the head or even turned it into a different animal all together.. well.. there is little hope of every getting it back

Not cool. Not cool at all. :(

The antithesis of cool

This is absolutely horrid, I can't believe the nerve of some people! I will keep my eyes out for it, you can be sure of that!

Sad. People don't have respect in these days.

Wow, that's messed up, my advice is immediately informing the police.

They can't wear it, sell it or anything, even returning it would be difficult as then everyone would know who stole it.

If you have a suspicion my advice is outright ask them.

Good effing god...

dont even know who he is never heard of him, but it is a cute panda suit... sucks its gone

the following ppl can bitch all they want about my comment but meh idc >.>

i know the guy but he always ignores me dont know why

could be cuz hes dead o.o apparently

before he was dead way before he was dead i knew him since 2010

Talk about disrespecting the dead - especially some cheerful fur who just wanted us all to be happy.
Meanwhile, Signal boost - GO!
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4253553/

What were the plans for the suit following PandaGuy's passing? Honestly, there is not much that can be done with the suit, unless if you know he wanted someone specific to have it.

I'm sure you are trying to get in contact with the person who you suspect of taking the suit. If it really is just a misunderstanding, I'm sure he'll return it. If it turns up at a con, especially here in the south, someone is bound to recognize it.

I find it appalling that someone would do something as low as to take a deceased Suiter's suit. That's just low. Understandable if they were close to the person in some way, but to take something that expensive and precious to the deceased. That's just low. I hope that its found soon because even though I didn't know the individual the Suit originally belonged to. It would be a crime against the deceased and the Suit if it gets used for inappropriate reasons. Good luck with finding the person behind the theft.

i'll keep an eye out as well and spread this

dont know if itll ever be here in florida but ill be sure to keep an eye out.

Awh man this is terrible! i hope this all gets sorted out! i will spread the word and do whatever I can!

Sorry to hear what happened, and yes, I'll be keeping an eye out for this panda suit

Oh my, the girl/guy who did it has no moral :(
I'll share

Well, that's great to know someone's that big of a sick fuck... But hey, word spread to fast and far, his ass'll be caught soon.

okay lets hope we can find it. I,m going to check on ebay and ask around see if this suit been walking around. its not fair how they steal his suit after his death. But i will help find them.

I really hope it's a misunderstanding of some sort. I will boost the signal But the possibilities are so scary. the person could strip it down and change it any way they wanted. Let us just pray it is unharmed, untouched, and returned to his mother. Poor family, and poor pandaguy. I bet he'd be heartbroken...:(

Faving to spread the word.

I don't understand why so many suits are being stolen lately. It makes no sense if they ever have any hope of wearing it to a con or anywhere really.

I hope that this guy or girl gets what they deserved and more. People need to realize that stealing suits is not only worthless but tarnishes their reputation forever.

Oh my GOD...

I faved this pic and also made a journal to help boost the signal. Its sad that there are people out there that these kinds of things. Hope the suit is found and returned.

Ill keep an eye out for it as well, very disrespectful for someone to steal pandaguys suit. I hope the thief is caught & full legal action is done.

First don't mean to sound like an idiot but who is the late Mr. Jon exactly, I got linked from another journal and was interested to hear the story. Also for a fandom that is so nice, excepting, and loves helping one another we do have a few people that all the douchness was concentrated into, like whom ever filched that suit.

This was his FA page. https://www.furaffinity.net/user/pandaguy

Pandaguy was a long long time member of the fandom, a great guy, and a friend to all.

wait, ANOTHER stolen suit? I'm still pretty new to the fursuiting side of the fandom.. but have stolen suits always been this common? It's sad <:{

I'll keep an eye out, mate!! This is really upsetting actually!!

It's fucking disgusting that anyone would do that. Stealing a suit is bad enough, but one from someone passed on? Like I said, fucking disgusting. I really hope you find the suit, and I hope whoever took it gets in some serious trouble. It's pathetic that anyone would even think to do this.

i cant beleive they would do this i made a post he was a good firend i still have him on skype will never remove him

How did pandaguy pass? :<

sickness

I've heard about Mr.Jon, he seemed like a very nice guy and to have lost a wonderful person like him that passed away is bad enough. I mean, why would someone want to steal a beautiful well-known suit that means so much to him?

This is something I don't understand. It's like going into an someone's home and steal all of their memories they have kept for many years. Whoever did it, they are extremely disrespectful and horrible. I'll absolutely keep an eye out!

Hey, not to worry, I will send this to my friend  KennyKitsune (Who also knew Panda Guy) plus there are two Conventions near us an Anime Con in Las Cruses, and the Texas Furry Fiesta next month. I will keep a lookout for the Panda suit at them both, and I will let Kenny know to keep a watch out for it too.

Just to update on my own post, I have put a link to this picture up on the Furry Fiesta facebook page, and I will be sending this to the security of the Furry fiesta as well. Just so they can be aware.

Favoriting and creating a journal to bring more attention to this.

Legal action is being considered. Lawl. Someone died. Their upholstery was taken. Incredible. Your banter dishonors the deceased.

I don't understand this comment...?

man this totally Disrespectful A a stolen Fur-suite Gezz does the Thief have a heart on someone pass away a year ago Bring him to justice i say BRING HIM TO JUSTICE the world has no more respect on someone that pass away

That ain't right..... not at all.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4254638/ there you go Timberwlfy glad to help you ^..^

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4254696/ Kyru told me about it. Hope you catch the idiot.

Made a PSA video.

Hope it helps


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNLkFC2pBoY

I can't beleave someone would do this...I'm keeping my eyes open for it as well...

I don't go to enough cons to help, but I'll do what I can.

Have you contacted the police yet?

I urge you you to contact the police.
It being missing is cause enough to start looking and at least talking to people.
Nothing will make a theifs stomach turn like an officer on their door step.

Perhaps we can orgonize a fundraiser in order to have some cash as a reward for its safe return?
PM me if you'd like, I didn't know PG but I'm a master of fundraisers and would love to lend a hand.

Actually, the entry was updated this morning - the suit got returned. Power to the (furry) masses ^^

Amazing!

Glad to hear it was found and returned!

More of a note.. WHO stole it in the first place? That's what I'm sure we all want to know.

Glad you got it back.

Maybe it wasn't "stolen" at all. As demonstrated here with many furs reading disabilities, as con staff I find they also suffer from hearing disabilities. Of course, both reading and listening travel through that same comprehension areas of the brain, so the problem might be located there. In any case. it's been returned and all's right with the world...until the next crisis.

Good to hear it was returned

Glad the suit was found and is safe now

Just 1 question: Who had it and why?

I do not have a furry name for the guy, and am not sure the name he even gave Pandaguy's mom is correct. I want to get ALL the facts right before tossing any actual names out there. He claimed it was a misunderstanding, but frankly it looks like he went over to the house offering his help, and used the moment to grab what he thought he could get away with.

oh! but he returned it to her?

Yes, I think when he realized that half the fandom was looking for it, and he would not be able to set foot outside with it without having a lynch mob after him, he decided to return it and call it all a 'misunderstanding' rather than be drummed out of the fandom....

Well that's good and I hope he apologized for what he has done.

So glad you found it ! <3

Glad its home safe and sound ^^

Im so glad everything worked out in this respect. Miss that panda terribly.
