Water Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 that is funny...but Mal_Con...the attorney is in regards to possibly the phone company or the alarm company being negligent or whatever term in a court of a law would be used. He pays a phone bill, pays an alarm/security company, but the alarm/sheriff notification did not occur as it should have. If it was a 20 second smash and grab, notifying the sheriff may not have done anything, but unless there were 10 people involved, it sounds like they would have been there for 5-10 minutes which could be enough time to be caught in the act. (my thoughts). Best wishes at finding the culprits, figuring out the weak link in the alarm system malfunction. If you have a sale or a presentation or something, I'd do my best to kick in a few bucks! Quote
matt_warfield Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I am not an attorney but I will say that the cops probably don't give much of a shit about this because it is too hard to find the perps. If they are smart, they will find a way to make money off the steal and not get caught. Black market, long way away, wait a while, etc. I feel really bad for you as I have loved that shop from the old small space to the new one. Total quality. One of my favorite Redpoint stories was witnessing a dude lobbing off of Heiness Cling full and taking about a 100 footer. I chatted with a guy in Redpoint about it and it turns out it was him! On purpose! Good luck on getting things going again. Quote
sketch Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 If you expect lawyers to be elegant with words your gonna be disappointed, always. If you want elegance try a poet or something. Quote
Mal_Con Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I always found that juries do not appreciate elegant words, just sayin. Quote
sketch Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I agree, not saying I don't. I prefer a lawyer stick to facts and bluntness of speech & not try to blow smoke up everyones ass. At least that is what worked for me when I had to sue for loss of property. If there was a breakdown in security then liability may apply there and depending on how cooperative the alarm company is they might accept the loss. But, that doesn't mean that there offer will be fair. That's where a lawyer could come in handy. Quote
Lodestone Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Has anyone checked e-bay? I check eBay pretty often, but.....unless the thief sells everything as a lot or in separate listings simultaneously there is not going to be an easy way to identify this gear. Chad Quote
godskid5 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I am not a lawyer, but I play one on tv, so listen to my advice please! hahaha Eric, I had posted a copy of your original notice I recieved from Calvin Landrus in Bend on the gear forum. Someone posted some pics of some brand new gear for sale on a craigslist ad. It is the second page of this thread. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/934478/2 Take a look. The stuff still has tags on it, and is pretty dang shiny! Good luck man! Quote
kurthicks Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Probably nothing, but this one sounds fishy. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/spo/1566683565.html Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 MSR mits? Didn't know they made soft goods like that. Quote
godskid5 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 uuhhh, yeah! Selling off his climbing gear out of a rented trailer?? Definately sounds fishy! Quote
Nitrox Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I got an email from Eric through the Cascade Mountaineers and forwarded it to everyone I know. Aside from that I stopped in and bought some fastdraws. Quote
Edlinger Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I'll make a couple of big purchases in their soon rather than an internet order. Quote
boadman Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 This looks a little sketchy to me: Stolen Gear? Redpoint? Quote
olyclimber Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 OH HAI! I GOT 6 BELAY DEVICES FOR XMAS!!! what the hell. Quote

G-spotter Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 OH HAI! I GOT 6 BELAY DEVICES FOR XMAS!!! what the hell. I heard you need to use one every thirty feet or so along a rope. Quote
toddipoo Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Did you guys see this in the yard sale? Lots of brand new in the package stuff. Looks pretty fishy. quote : Why would someone get 3 atc's and 3 figuire 8s for xmas? craigslist add in seattle Edited February 2, 2010 by toddipoo Quote
olyclimber Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 as was noted directly above your post. Quote
bstach Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 I love the deep discount he is offering...lol...hardly seems worth not buying from the store. I expect 30% discount minimum on used gear, even "like new" used gear. Quote
