cascadecowboy Posted June 15, 2004 Share 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. (I also posted this on the Yard Sale pages - moderators, please put it where you deem appropriate.)

SublimeSalamander Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hey John, you might want to contact places like play it again sport and second acsents that take in used outdoor gear for cash. Those are just a couple in this area and I'm sure you have simular places around the Portland area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Check craigslist.org things of suspicious orgin often turn up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I'll keep a look out, as I'm sure we all will. Was anything marked w/tape or felt tip or....? I hope you find the bastard(s), good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireneo_Funes Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 John, that's terrible. You have my sympathy. Seems like the average burglar wouldn't bother with a bunch of esoteric climbing gear...but I don't profess to understand that mentality. Good luck; I hope they get caught and you get your gear back!

JayB Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Comments from the other post: "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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaee Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I'll keep a look out, as I'm sure we all will. Was anything marked w/tape or felt tip or....? John marked most of his rock gear w/ two thin strips of electrical tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
