Snowflake 0 #1 December 23, 2001 ok I'm home I can't go see the family for X-mas and it was to windy to jump (my desiscion) so I feel like bitching. I2 or 3 months ago a friend of mine says his buddy who runs a storage facility found a rig and will sell it cheap so I go check it out and it's a Jav J-4 with a sabre main. I think cool but whoever had it jacked with it cause the reserve risers are out. I tell the guy I'll take it to a rigger to get it checked out and I'll check if it's hot. I check the parachutist and sure as shit it's hot. I call the first number and it's a disconnected PCS number I call the second number and get voicemail but not O's (the guy who reported to Parachutist) voice mail. I leave a message and call the USPA and leave a message with the person in charge of that dept. @ days later this Otis guy calls me and leaves a message I return his call (mind you I've been making these calls on my dime) I explain that his rig is with my rigger and give him my riggers number and the DZ number. After some confusing phone calls he comes down for his rig. He bothers everyone asking them when my rigger is gonna show. I meet him briefly then don't see him again. So you might ask whay is this tale so pathetic. WELL!!!!!!! he didn't even offer to buy me a beer at the very least (he barely said thank you). Said jumper then prceededs to go out with the DZO and his wife and make an ass of himself and go back home the next day. now I may be crazy but if someone found my stolen rig I would buy them at least a case of beer and a jump ticket, hey a beer or two to make up for my time and phone bill would have been fine. Well thats my sad story I truly wouldn't want to be around this person when the karma slap comes.All names have been edited to protect the innocentJG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airann 1 #2 December 23, 2001 That is HORRIBLE. Not to mention bad form and rude. The bitch slap of karma is a dreadful thing. If my rig got swiped -I would be kissing your feet.

Jessica 0 #3 December 23, 2001 What a total butt-brain!!!!!! After all that freaking trouble you went to. Biatch.I would not only buy you a case, but take you on a two-way just so I could have a jump with the guy who saved my gear. And to dinner. Jeez.He sucks. That's not skydiver behavior.Pet me! I'm harmless and cute! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pammi 0 #5 December 24, 2001 Good grief..what an a$$! I'm with Ann...I'd have given a BJ to get my gear back! Okay, well, maybe not...but just about anything else :) Thank you FOR him for being such a terrific guy about it. I hope if something ever happens to me like losing my rig, someone like you finds it!!Closing pin jewelry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyberskydive 0 #6 December 24, 2001 What a riot, I wonder if he reads dz.com? -lolTrue that if someone found my rig which was stolen I'd do everything I could to make that person know how happy I was, but it could also be argued that expecting something in return for a good deed could be bad karma? It definately invokes negativity.hope you all are drunk by now ;)http://www.cyberskydive.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Albatross 0 #7 December 24, 2001 DUde youfind gear that was lost for the night I am buying the bear all the next night.
