Well, I would completely understand the policy that if an event is going on and you have 5 Otters running that you don't pull staff away from the event to look for it. However, it should be a consistent policy throughout the event. Ladybug offered the dz money to send someone up after the event was over but they declined. She even made maps and roughly knew the vicinity of it. NOW what really kinda disappointed me was that when "certain people" have cutaways (and I'm not getting into who other then they were on one of the prestigious teams) they sent a Cessna up for it right away while the event was still going on. Don't get me wrong, absolutely nothing against the dz. It's one of the best. It was just a bit disappointing to find out that if you aren't on one of the world recognized teams then you are SOL. Again, if you're going to have a policy like that then be consistent with everyone!

So the canopy you found on Craigslist did in fact belong to Ladybug. We were competing at Nationals and she had to cut it away. After the cutaway she pleaded with the dropzone to help her find it, but unfortunately since Nationals was going on they refused She contacted the authorities and they set up a sting to catch the guy (and they did). The police are shipping her canopy back to it's rightful owner. Ladybug does not have a dropzone.com account and wanted me to tell you how grateful she is to you and everyone else who helped her get her "ladybug" back!! It's truly amazing how skydivers look out for their own kind. You have no idea how happy you have made her.
