If the hanger was unlocked, why the mention of bolt cutters? If the hanger was locked, then why say it was unlocked? A better wording would have been something like: "Someone used bolt cutters to break into the locked hanger..." Confused... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless of whether the it was locked or not the gear is still stolen. So who cares if the hanger was locked now? Besides that I'm sure the poster was trying to say that it was locked and the thief used bold cutters. Typos are plenty in these forums.

ladyflyer77 0 #6 December 19, 2006 JohnRich, Oldskydiver was being sarcastic. It was unlocked by the bolt cutters. There was not a typo. I know this man well. He is one of the guys that got his gear stolen from the same place that I did. You posted on my forum "Hey asshole that stole my gear". If that helps you remember what I am talking about. We are all very upset by this and would only like to have our gear back. So please people, remember that when you post things on here. We are already under stress as it is. Please don't ad any more then we need. We are only asking for your help. If this was one of you, we would try our best to help you out. That's what this community of jumpers are supposed to do. So please, all we are asking is for your help. If I stand on my tip toes, I can see the weekend from here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueSBDeath 2 #7 December 19, 2006 I am sorry for your loss, however; this brings up a point I make to friends all the time. Why do you leave your gear at the DZ? If it is stolen from my home I am covered, if it is stolen from the DZ, or the DZ burns down, or the DZ is vandalized, I am not covered!! Again, sorry for your loss.

Some insurance companies pay for covered losses incurred away from home. State Farm is one of them, and yes they'll reimburse for stolen skydiving gear (replacement value, not depreciated).

Rainbo 0 #9 December 19, 2006 I do not know how much I can help but I will keep my eyes and ears open. I do have spare gear that I would be willing to loan to you to keep you jumping. If you would be interested you can PM me. Money is not an issue, keeping your eyes to the sky is.

ladyflyer77 0 #10 December 19, 2006 Arvel, I'm sure oldskydiver could answer this himself but I would like to as well. We both are from out of town. GCSPC is our home dz and we stay in campers there on the weekends. Our DZ has been there for over 35 years and we have never had an issues with stuff being taken. The hanger was locked and we were only about 200 feet from the hanger when all this happened. There are also dogs on the property as well to which none of them barked at the person(s) taking our stuff. This is one of the reasons why we think it may be someone we know. If I stand on my tip toes, I can see the weekend from here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #12 December 19, 2006 QuoteJohnRich, Oldskydiver was being sarcastic. It was unlocked by the bolt cutters. There was not a typo. I honestly wasn't trying to be a jerk - I was just confused about the circumstances by the wording. Thank you for clearing that up. I can now see how it was meant to be sarcastic, though that wasn't real obvious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueSBDeath 2 #13 December 20, 2006 I do understand, and if I was a local I may very well have had my gear there, at least over night while in a campy. I hate people who steal anything, unless it is food to feed their family, and in that case if they would ask I would given them food. Try to have a Merry Christmas, think of the big picture, everything happens for some reason.
