Just giving everybody a heads up, in the past few days we have gotten four seperate reports of theft reported to Nomad. Everything from packs left overnight to a car left unattended and open for 3 minutes that was pilfered. This happened both inside the park and outside.
If anyone offers you used gear in SoCal there is a growing possibility it is stolen.
PLEASE watch your gear! Don't leave anything in your car overnight, keep your doors locked, keep an eye on anything because gear has been growing legs.
If you come in contact with lost and / or stolen gear contact Nomad or post it up here, we need to get things back to their owners!
Items of note:
Yates bigwall harness small
blue petzl rope
any number of cams
osprey and marmot packs
red golite women's sleeping bag
There is someone out there who knows what they are looking for and how to get it.

Thanks for the heads up, GD. Maybe it's a sign of depressed economic/jobless times.

It's a sign of a person who doesn't have the moral mindset necessary to live in a civilized society with the rest of us. There's never an excuse for thievery.

Tweakers love sh#t that's shiny and un-secured. They're not brand concious.

"Tweakers love sh#t that's shiny and un-secured.'
True, and they don't tend to be very calculating about their prey, either. This pattern of theft sounds much more like someone who knows the value of the gear, and how to get $ for it.

Couple that with at least one able-bodied adult and a car reliable enough to make it back-and-forth to Quail Springs (at least), and there's really no excuse for this.

It's probably the same kin to those meth-heads in Consumnes up north. Very not cool.
Get a rope.

If your rope was stolen and returned would you still use it?

Do you mean that in a safety-kinda-way, or in an icky-kinda-way, like someone returning your underwear that they wore a few times?

What if your rope was stored on top of a bunch of car-batteries these thieves also stole? Or under a pile of stolen weedwackers and chainsaws, all leaking two-cycle fuel?
Good point, BillyGoat.

Revenge is best served both cold and severe.
Forget the ropes and bats, just punch em in the gut.

I feel sooooo much safer knowing there are fine, upstanding whackjob Uhmerikans out there hiding this kinda stuff. I'm sure that's exactly what the writers of the Constitution had in mind.
