BillA Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 On thursday some asshat broke the passenger side window of my truck and grabbed my backpack that had my gym climbing shit in it. It was parked down by PRG. An orange BD speed pack with a pair of mythos and a pair of moccasyms in it and my ratty old arcteryx harness which i loved dearly. My guess is they will not be able to sell an old harness and two pairs of shoes that smell like ass, so it will end up in a dumpster somewhere. Sigh... Quote
goatboy Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 Sorry to hear about your stuff. Probably in a dumpster by now. Bad Karma for the bastard thieves! On a positive note, the term "asshat" is fabulous. Congratulations on making something wonderful out of a bad experience. Quote
iain Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 I was wondering how long it would take for thieves to figure out the new concentration of relatively wealthy peoples' cars around the new PRG, esp. when they are parked on the darker side streets. I only bike there. Sorry about your loss. Quote
billcoe Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 BillA, if I ever see that kind of crap you can bet it'll be "batter up" time and I promise to swing a home run for ya. I used to park my Prowler up at the Butte and always expected to see the convertable roof slit and the stereo jacked when I got back. One time- about 1978-I was up on top bouldering - my back to my motorcycle with my backpack on it, right there on the road. I didn't see anybody but lo and behold if I don't turn around an see my backpack gone. MF Sons of B's. They got a gore-tex coat (this was when you could buy the gore-tex material but nobody was commercially producing any gore-tex finished products) which a friend had custom sewn for me. Still, I've heard plenty of others have had it worse, maybe we should count ourselves lucky. The stuff is just that, Stuff. You can replace it, even though it sucks. While ago I found a fired (rifling grooves on it) 9mm bullet on my back deck. Sometimes I hear the pop pop pop at night from unfinished discussions which members of "the community" are having with each other. Regards: Bill Quote

BillA Posted April 23, 2004 Author Posted April 23, 2004 Yeah, what's with the ridiculous amount of petty theft in PDX anyway? Three days after I moved here my bike got stolen and then my window... My roomate got his car broken into and gear stolen out of it also. Totally lame. I work at PRG now, so no leaving anything in my truck. It is the suck. Oh yeah, asshat is a glorious term. Quote
texplorer Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 Last Thursday I was at Broughton's and also saw the back side window of a car there had been broken out. Watch out and don't leave stuff in plain sight out there either. I have heard of several other break-ins out there too. Quote
billcoe Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 billcoe, what part of town do you live in? Hi Ursula: The spot where Kendra James was recently shot is within rifle range (I'm not that good of a shot anymore, as my son repeatedly drones on to me about, so maybe not within rifle range for me, I used to shoot very well, now I can't hit shit as the eyes are going!). We have remarkably little crime around here in the houses - really. Quote
