Today I was hiking along the Eagle Creek near the Columbia River (TR to come later), when I returned to my car I found my window smashed in and my gear stolen. I am so bummed out, I had been so excited about hiking in a new area and setting up my new tent for the first time.
I had my gear in the back of my Subie under the curtain. The perp couldn't see what was under it but they sure wanted to find out, and they hit the jackpot. Here's what I lost:
Sierra Design Iota Tent
REI 20F Down Bag
Marmot Predator Jacket
OR Gore Tex Gaiters
Various gloves, mitts and hat
Full side zip weatherproof pants
Small daypack
They left my new ice axe, new sleeping pad, REI leather Gore Tex boots.
It appeared that they grabbed what they could reach and ran.
I know I shouldn't have left my stuff in my car, lesson learned on that front, but I wish I knew why my stuff keeps getting stolen, this is ridiculous, 2 car stereo's, a car and now most of my gear.
Aside from the new window I need, this has set me back around $800, I am so mad
With having no place to stay, and not enough cash for another round trip, I had to bail on 3 friends because of this. Darn it
