Alpinfox Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I'm thinking that perhaps this could become a sticky thread in this forum. If you are searching craigslist or ebay (local PNW listings) and see someone trying to sell climbing/outdoor gear that seems suspicious to you, post it here with a short description and maybe the owner will recognize their stuff and be able to contact/maim/prosecute the thief and recover their gear.

And he's selling them for $200 Quote
DRep Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I kinda want to meet this deusch! He's from south seattle too - definitely stolen gear. Quote
goatboy Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 There's no way of knowing where he got the stuff. Easy to assume it's stolen. I think we're all angry and paranoid about meth-heads ripping off stuff, but not every person selling gear they're unfamiliar with is a thief. Having said that, "ice shoes???" It sure seems suspicious. Someone should send Big Lou down there to S Seattle.... Quote
goatboy Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I kinda want to meet this deusch! He's from south seattle too - definitely stolen gear. Could you explain the correlation between S Seattle and why it's definitely stolen gear? Quote

That's a strange one. That's the most suspicious part to me. Quote

Could you explain the correlation between S Seattle and why it's definitely stolen gear? Sorry to offend, In my experience with that area, I've run into alot of sketch balls. Same with anywhere though. Quote
Alpinfox Posted October 3, 2008 Author Posted October 3, 2008 ...can't one of ya'll seattle types call the cops and have them investigate it? hahahahaa Yeah. Remember that scene in Big Lebowski when The Dude asks the cop in the car impound lot if the detectives were going to dust for prints? Quote
Jens Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Great idea for a sticky! ------------------------ I work in far south Seattle (skyway, rainier valley, and the like) it is quite a different world than the north neighborhoods. Quote
goatboy Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 bags that won't let water into them if they get wet. I think I have to contact this guy.... I need shit like that, even if it's stolen.... Quote
Braydon Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 It could be stolen but a lot of people sell this type of gear for friends not having any idea what it is. Quote

Remember that scene in Big Lebowski when The Dude asks the cop in the car impound lot if the detectives were going to dust for prints? "i wouldn't hold out much hope for the creedence" Quote
needtoclimb Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Have the cops investigate what? That someone is selling stuff on craigslist? The police need a reason to investigate, i.e. someone stating that it is their stolen gear being sold. Quote
Taluscat Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 fuc the color blue-they'll fill out the paper work until there anxious grip from the stressfull day accidently squeezes the remaing cream from there half eaten choclate covered bizmark stains the report and the inevitable thoughts of completeing it is overwhelming for such a horseshit situation..
