John Frieh Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 My girl's and my wallet were stolen from her car this evening. Just a friendly reminder to everyone... take with you to the crags if you value it. If anyone finds a green purse or brown wallet (empty or not) give me a shout please. And if I catch you thieves on drytool night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 oughta turn this into a shout-out for those who've been robbed at the butte - alright, how many of you sprayers have gotten your shit (or someone you know's shit) ganked at the christian crank-alley? made me realize last night the value of my stealthy total piece of shit mitsubishi mirage, parked right by jon - guess the shit-stains and 6 inches of garbage on the passenger side didn't inspire much confidence in any would-be theives seriously, keeping all your shit on you or in a trunk has to be SOP at the Butte setting up a sting operation might be a pleasent alternative to DT night tonight, eh jon?

Ireneo_Funes Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 That's too bad, NOLSe. Are they smashing windows now or did she leave it unlocked? I've never had anything ripped off there, but I'm pretty careful not to leave anything lying around where I can't see it. Given all the sketchy characters that appear of an evening, I think a sting operation would have all the challenge of shooting fish in a barrel.

barjor Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Don't leave anything of value in your car, it's not that fucking complicated. If it doesn't pay of for those low life bastards to break into cars at the crag they will not do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 i don't think the meth-heads are using too much logic, barjor; i wouldn't have been surprised at all if they'd smashed my windows just like lani's on the off-chance they'd find something, if only the 24 cents in pennies in my ashtray. i conciously avoid leaving anything of value in my car at the butte too, but you kinda sound like you're telling a rape victim it's her fault for being hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjor Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 What I am saying is that if no one left anything of value the meth heads would have to find a new hunting ground. I usally leave my car unlocked so they don't have to smash anything. I am suprised with how many people that leave there wallets and CC in there car and then act suprised when someone steals it. Sure it sucks but a wallet is not that much to pack with you. That said I know it is just a matter of time before I will be posting being pissed becuse someone stole my sleeping bag or cooler with beer.

Ireneo_Funes Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 That cooler of beer will make excellent bait for Ivan the Terrible's sting operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I was out at Beacon all day and missed the fun. Sorry to hear of it Nolse. Was it visble in the car? I too have been ripped off at the Butte as I've documented here before. The big one (full backpack) still pissed me off like 28 years later.

billcoe Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Wait, I was out at Beacon yesterday, this happened 2 days ago....sorry ....Wednesday. What are the full details, theres a lot of people up there in the evenings anymore, usually with you, that's pretty brazen for anybody to do, esp with the bible college dorm windows looking right out at you.

John Frieh Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Wallet and purse were not visible... hidden quite well actually. Back window was smashed... I think we would have heard it anywhere else but the freeway traffic likely prevented us. Update: punk bitches used my info to secure a new drivers license, with that a checking account and with that applied for a car loan Thank god for fraud protection! I highly urge anyone who gets their shit jacked to register for fraud protection immediately! Even if you cancel all your credit cards (both of us did) this free service notifies you if anyone tried to open a new line of credit using your information With out it I wouldn't have had any way of knowing someone was using my info. Open season on thieves... better hope I don't catch you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 NOLSe, Gawd - that really sucks... Let me know if the PD needs a witness or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Nolse - Fraud protection is great. Did you have your SSN info in your wallet too (paycheck stub or something)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireneo_Funes Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Adding insult to injury. Wasn't it nice in the old days when the criminal types would just steal your money, or maybe your car stereo, but not your "identity"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Social was in the wallet and my rainier climbing permit Believe it or not some states actually use your social as your driver's license number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Don't leave anything of value in your car, it's not that fucking complicated. If it doesn't pay of for those low life bastards to break into cars at the crag they will not do it. You've obviously never climbed at the Butte. Tweakers go their to boot up and party--any car that happens to be there is a target of opportunity. Its not like they go out of their way to ransack cars there.

billcoe Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 As a quick note: tlaked to Nolse last night. Says he was parked down by Birds/White Rabbit. He thinks that the berm hid the smash and grab, as it was that side next to that berm which (mostly) hid the dickhead from prying eyes. I've never thought of it before, but parking in the open looks to be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvallisclimb Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 do you guys park in the parking lot or on the side of the street? i dont go there often, but when ever i do i park as into the parking lot as i can, to hopefully avoid this from happening.
