Chad_A Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Oh, man, that's terrible. Sorry to hear about that. I'm sure everyone here will keep their eye out for it, but I don't know what you've lost; I suppose you could notify Next Adventure about what happened, in case someone goes in there to try to sell it all. Probably a long shot, though. I think I'm going to strip all the stickers off my truck, and keep a dark blanket in it to hide my stuff when I have it parked at THs and such, from now on...seems like break-ins are on the rise everywhere. Then again, maybe they're just getting posted here more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darstog Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Please type up a comprehensive list of everything you had stolen, complete with your personal markings on the gear (marking tape, or whatever you use to identify your gear) and add it to your post. That way if any of us are at a crag somewhere and we see a "#1 Camalot, old style, with red tape on the stem, reslung with yellow spectra loop" or whatever, we can identify it. Also, take that list, print it out, and either take it in, or fax it to every REI customer service desk in your area. REI is the only shop I know of that takes used climbing equipment in and if somebody wants to make a few bucks off stealing your gear, you may be able to retrieve it that way. Hopefully somebody just thought that it was some abandoned gear and, hearing word, they'll return it, but if not, the above are the two steps I can think of that could help.

BrittEasterly Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 That must be a hot spot for theft. I had gear stolen out of my rig right out side the pub there. Luck they didnt get my pack just a bag with a helmet, rack of biners and dirty wet clothes. Well keep an eye out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
