jrwclimbs Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Early Tuesday morning, March 13, 2012, around 4am, our Equipment Shop in Fairhaven was burglarized by 1 or 2 people, likely males, and likely climbers...

These have "AAI" etched onto the top of the boards, along with a round AAI sticker near the tail. (Part of our rental fleet) Whitish and brown, with a nature/tree/winter theme. Lightrail's have the orange quick release strap, so very easy to notice. The bindings also have "AAI" etched in them.

Snowshoes: MSR Lightning Ascent, black, 30 inches Miscellaneous: JetBoil Sol Ti stove (Titanium) MSR windscreens There may be more, but that is what we've come up with so far.

chris54 Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Do you guys mark all your gear with AAI? Just wondering to keep an eye out. That so much gear you think it would have to turn up at some point. Quote
jrwclimbs Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 Hi Chris, The Voile Mojo splitboard is marked, as it was part of our rental fleet. The rest was from our retail floor. Sadly, much of what they nabbed just came in for the spring season! Thanks for looking out for us! Jeremy Quote
billcoe Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Wow....total suckage. If anyone sees any of their buddies with new gear and you are wondering how they could afford it: turn them in/report it. I'm not in your area but will keep a look out. Hope you catch and convict them and get all your stuff back. Quote
jmk Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 I would check craigslist and ebay for the items. The thieves might try to sell them off in the next few weeks. Quote
Whatcomboy Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Hey I know stealing is wrong and they deserve jail time but you got to admit the thieves have good taste in gear. Quote
genepires Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) someone with photoshop skills should create a image of the perp wearing all the gear they stole, then post the wanted posters on local glaciers. I mean small packs and med to large outwear. Must be short torsos with large hands and feet. Damn near troll looking. Edited March 18, 2012 by genepires Quote
