cascadecowboy Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Hello NW climbers, On May 31, my house was burglarized in NE Portland and almost all my outdoor gear was stolen – my entire rock rack, ropes, stray biners and slings, stoves, sleeping bags, tents, warm clothes . . . you name it, they got it. Total retail value, about $6K. Ouch, to say the least. Most of this gear is of no value to anyone but a climber, so I am asking y’all to keep an eye out for it. If anyone approaches you to sell some goodies and they smell suspicious, please try to get some ID on them and contact me immediately.

JayB Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 You have got to be kidding me. That is my worst nightmare. Argh Was it only the climbing gear that they took or did they take other valuables? It strikes me as terribly odd that random burglers would steal them while leaving all of the other posessions alone. If this is indeed what happened it suggests that someone knew about your stash and targeted you accordingly, which in turn suggests that it was someone that you knew or someone that had a chance to scope out your place. Throw any parties lately? Got any friends with sketchy aquaintances that might have an addicition to feed? I am sure that you have thought of all of these possibilities already, but I am just throwing them out ther for others to consider. If you haven't already, I would also fax the list to every second-hand gear shop in the PNW. Quote
