How many cams was it, Svetlana?
Most times it's an accident, maybe when they sort gear they'll notice. Hopefully they'll try to get them back to you at that point.

So how often does gear get stolen? What do they do with it after ? Sell?
I’m pretty desperate at this point and what hurts the most is that I will not be able to effort another set for a long time ..

Probably stolen by a climber, but you can check Craigslist.

My guess is another new climber with low morals now has it on their rack. Lesson learned. Were the cams marked?

Lots of non-climbers going through that lot. There are some serious kleptos out there that feel a compulsion to steal stuff they have no use for. A stash of exotic gear would have been a cool souvenir. I like to think it was not a climber but it very well could have been. The handful of times I climbed there I never used the picnic tables for that reason, keep gear in my car or in a pack at the base.

Leaving gear anywhere at trashcan rock is a simple grab. Would you leave your wallet at the bar while you went to pee?

Did you try the local gear shop Nomad Ventures? Maybe turned in etc after discovery

Russ thinks like me, every time I think someone stole something of mine, I find it where I forgot I put it. hehe I've had a couple of things stolen in my life, but mostly my stuff has turned up.
Anyway, Russ, yes, I went by Nomads that night. I also had Svet call the ranger station and post here and on Mountain Project. In hopes whoever took it does their next gear sort and realizes it's not theirs and looks to find the owner.
It's Svetlana's first trad rack. Kinda of sad. Svet is very sweet and I hope she gets her gear back.

Svet - I also have some stuff I could send if you don't get your rack back. Not the same as you lost, but good gear.
Nice lead zip

You guys are awesome!
I was thinking I could give her a cam too.
Man, if she had a rigid friend she'd be the coolest. :)

Wow,just wow... from all my hear thank you guys for your replies... reading them makes me want to believe in good people again..
I moved to OC not long time ago, still exploring JT climbing and don't know much about it. To be honest, I was not aware that Trashcan is the "spot", plus all the time we were less than 5 meters away from the picnic table. Lesson learned.
I'll be truly grateful for any donation, and if I can do anything in return do let me know..
One more time thank you all!

Please post an e mail address that I can reach you at.
The only thing I would like in return is a trip report with all your new used gear,
and if you have it, that picture of Russ soloing left ski track in a Speedo.
