FreeflyGoat 0 #1 March 26, 2012 Flipping through the Feb Parachutist I read the stolen gear section. Stolen gear is usually not the section to laugh at and I'm sure ChutingStar isn't laughing but...stolen via credit card fraud was a Dolphin container, Trialthlon main, and Argus AAD. Could the offender not think of more expensive gear to steal? He could have got a pimped out Mirage and Icarus JFX or something, but they chose to scam a Dolphin, Triathlon, and Argus???? Sorry, but just had to have a laugh at it._________________________ goat derka jerka bukkake jihad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #3 March 26, 2012 Imagine you've got someone around the DZ who doesn't have a lot of money, who is known to not have a lot of money ... they probably figured showing up with a Dolphin, Triathlon, and Argus would be much less suspect than showing up with a pimped out rig.

SO... how's that strategy working out for you? LOL Just kidding... couldn't resist. Actually, it could also be that it was stolen by a whuffo who had no idea of its value compared to other rigs.... compounded by easy availability since the owner might have reasoned that no one would steal a Dolphin with a Triathlon and Argus in it... 44 SCR-6933 / SCS-3463 / D-5533 / BASE 44 / CCS-37 / 82d Airborne (Ret.)

DiverMike 5 #6 March 27, 2012 Quoteowner might have reasoned that no one would steal a Dolphin with a Triathlon and Argus in it... That is my exact setup(what can I say - I am cheap and a newbie), and to a wuffo the dolphin on the reserve pin cover may look cool enough to steal. For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 9 #7 March 27, 2012 I don't know, almost 100% of jumpers start off with their first rig on something conservative like that. I guess I don't get the joke - maybe because this gear isn't as 'cool' as other gear the theif could have stolen. I wouldn't mind a Dolphin, Triathalon, and Argus as a backup, accuracy, or even light crew rig. =========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
