This is Kim-Cherie, the owner of the rig that was stolen from the loading area at Skydive Deland in Florida.
I had just made my 121 jump - so you can tell I am new to the sport, been jumping a little over a year.
This has been really heartbreaking to me - I never thought that I would be sick at my stomach for days over a material object - but then that's just it isn't it - it isn't a material object. Your rig is part of you - it is something you put your time, money, love, trust and your very life into - just like the sport and one another. It is so very hard for me to conceive of taking from another fellow skydiver their ability to jump. We all know this is not a cheap sport - it's not like someone took my $20 basketball - it's like someone took the legs right out from under me.
It took a lot for me to get that rig - if you are a single parent or don't make loads of money and you bought your self a new rig then you know exactly what it took for me to come up with the cash to by mine.
I am asking everyone to keep an eye out - this thing could have been taken out of the US - or it is being taken apart and sold piece-meal or someone just might show up on your dropzone wearing my red white and blue rig. It's due for a reserve repack on June 1 - it has a cypress 1 - the body of the container is royal blue - pin flaps are red, trim tape is white - leg straps and shoulder straps are blue, cutaway handle is red. It's less than a year old and has some red georgia clay on the left side.
I love my rig, I love my sport and I love my fellow skydivers - i have been blessed to talk with a few skydivers I have never met and their concern and caring have touched me. I appreciate everyone's help.

That just sucks.
I was at Deland over xmas/new year a great dz and to hear of this is very upsetting.
I do hope somebody either feels really guilty and leaves it at the dz for you or somebody is lucky enogh to catch the b""^$"d who stole it
Best of luck

Swooping, huh? I love that stuff ... all the flashing lights and wailing sirens ... it's very exciting!
