Deleted 0 #27 September 7, 2002 QuoteYep.. I pitty the fool I catch wearing my jumpsuit or helmet... Segador sharpens his blade Rob, I didn't know this happened to you too there! Do you have any pics of the jumpsuit and helmat to post? Much easier to keep an eye out if we know what to look for. Side note..... Anyone got a spare $250 for a new "fast" Pit Special from Tony, so I can ditch my lead? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFKING 4 #29 September 7, 2002 Jeez.....how many of you got ripped off at the WFFC ? I'd like to think that you wouldn't have to worry about your gear while jumping, but I'm old enough to know that there are bad apples in every barrel. Does this sort of thing happen a lot at bigger DZs, or is it mostly at boogies, or what ? We've never had anything turn up missing at my two "home" DZs, but then they are Cessna DZs, and we rarely have more than 10-12 jumpers on any given day. Hope you find your stuff. Don edit: ps.....did the spectators have access to Tent City at Rantoul ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deleted 0 #30 September 7, 2002 OK, Jade and purple, got that. Is that a Jack the ripper pocket, or a patch? any other distinguishing marks? Ya know, off color thread sewing holes shut, crap like that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #31 September 7, 2002 Don, I jump at a large dz and often leave my gear out all day in the hangar near my locker, even during boogies where there are lots of new people. Perhaps that is too trusting of me, but I have never had a problem with anything coming up missing. I'm a little more careful with cash, or my camera, jewelry, etc. I also have a theory that my gear is a little too distinctive at my home dz for anyone to be able to walk off with it or jump it without someone noticing. We all look out for each other- in fact when a new friend saw someone else jumping my rig, he asked me about it. Like, are you so casual, you just let ANYONE jump your gear??? I explained he wasn't just anyone, he was my fiancee and he had my permission! We did have a problem a couple of years ago with some items being stolen, (not rigs, but at least one video camera) Everyone pretty much believed it was one guy, and even though no one could prove it, after he left, the thefts stopped. There are "bad apples", even among skydivers, and if I was visiting a new dz, or at the WFFC, I'd probably take a little more care with my gear. maura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spy38W 0 #33 September 7, 2002 Speaking of people stealing easily identifiable skydiving gear, did they ever find those PD canopies stolen from Airspeed? (IIRC) -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iflyme 0 #34 September 7, 2002 Being robbed sucks. My house has been B&E'd twice ... the first time my, video camera had pictures of my first daughter doing cool stuff when whe was just a few months old... you know, smiling, etc. The camera was replaceable, but the video inside was priceless to me. Probably some dumb fu@kin' kid who sold $10,000 worth of our stuff for a big bag of dope. I'd love to catch a thief some time -- like you, Rhino -- I'd give the dude a good old beatin'!!!

Snowwhite 0 #35 September 8, 2002 I had a cousin who lived in New York City during a garbage strike. It was close to Christmas. He and his buddy wrapped all of their garbage up in a big box. Christmas wrapping and bows. Left it sitting in the back seat of the unlocked car. No more garbageskydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
