Stolen and Lost Gear Database

[sangiro 26]

Heya all,

I've created a Stolen and Lost Gear Database for Dropzone.com. I'm hoping this will help a few people find their stuff and make life miserable for gear thieves. Anyone registered Dropzone.com user can list a stolen item. Read the Listing Guidelines before you list and item.

I'm hoping we can get information about stolen or lost gear out to a broad audience as quickly as possible. Riggers and DZO's should consider subscribing to receive the Email Updates. This will email any new listings to you on a daily basis. You will not receive and email on days when there are no new listings. You can also click on the "Full List" link on the database page and print out a summary of the entire content of the database to post at your DZ or keep in your gear bag. Everyone in the market for second-hand gear, check the database before you buy.

I'm hoping to extend the database in the future to enable you to register your gear (even if it's not stolen or lost) to create an online record of all your gear, serial numbers etc. The database is empty at this stage so fire away if you have lost items. Hope this helps.

Safe swoops

HH:

this is a great idea. maybe your site can help recover some of the "missing" gear. too bad we can't assess the punishments ourselves!

Thanks, HH.

I'm hopeful that all the "stolen gear" sites on the Internet can somehow be consolidated one day, so that a gear thief will have no place to go. Perhaps it'll become so tight that gear won't get stolen very often at all, except by the clueless.

Unfortunately that covers about most of humanity.

Let me know when you do this, and I'll be on there right away! I seem to have this nasty habit of writing down this information, and then forgetting where it is when the stuff gets lost (case in point: Altimeter at Rantoul)

It's your life, live it!
