He then took the GPS unit to the same coordinates on the ground and FOUND the door. Intact.Russell M.

BillyVance 35 #33 October 21, 2005 I remember one day at my home DZ I inadvertently picked up a weight vest I thought was mine when packing up to leave. The other jumper who it belonged to left his gear next to mine, and we both had the exact same kind of vest and about the same amount and type of weights. I never gave it a second thought. Then that dude emails me wondering if I picked it up by accident. I get home and go through my gear bag. Sure enough, I find TWO weight vests... They were virtually identical. Luckily I marked my weights with my last name.

efs4ever 3 #35 October 21, 2005 QuoteWell, now that you started this thread, I left behind (or it was stolen) a Black Frap Hat, a black Alti 2 Galaxy (with my NAME engraved in it.... R Webb D 7014) and the hat had a Pro Dytter in it. (Hat has my name in it too) at Couch Freaks. Dam! Today I called the Ft Dodge Airport and put in a plea to find my stuff. Lo and BEHOLD... I get a call back with the news that my valuable items (above) were FOUND. I gave em my Fed Ex number, and it's on the way home. Russell M.
