My truck was stolen out of the Coyote Corner parking lot yesterday afternoon. The truck is a red 1986 Ford F-150 with a white camper shell that has stickers on it. I'm not too worried about recovering the gear but I'm hoping if someone tries to sell anything then it will lead me closer to finding my truck. Some recognizable items are Cassin ice tools, Black Diamond crampons in an orange BD case, turquoise BD harness, the cutest snowboard you've ever seen with Burton bindings, brown Vans snowboard boots, black Mamut backpacking backpack, orange and grey Marmot tent... just a few things I kind of liked... Thanks for reading

That's a cherry ride, too bad it's south of the border, or parted out, by now. Condolences.

Wow, Really sorry to hear about this!

I'll keep my eye out for your truck and gear.

I know Ethan has some security camera's. Did you ask if he has any facing the parking lot?

That's so damn rude that they stole all your stuff. Things that make ya go GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! Funky, how did you mark your gear? Hope that the person suffers a seizure, doesn't pass GO but is sent straight to hell and you get all your stuff back.





And that's why we can't have nice things.

That blows.

Craigslist in all nearby regions. Set up searches for the gear and check daily.

I'm going to find a canoe thief this way!

^^^^^ Uh, what, 5 seconds to pop the wing window and 30 seconds (max) to hot-wire it?
About the same time to steal a modern keyless vehicle now. Nothing changes!

Most unfortunate...

Did they hotwire it???...

Umm, the truck was stolen and, as far as we can tell from this thread, hasn't been recovered.

How would the owner know the answer to your question?

Hey guys, thanks so much for your concern and kindness. I recovered my truck but eeeeverything was taken out of it. My bed, my clothes, all the features mentioned earlier. I don't have time to delete and repost a more relevant post now but I will delete this soon and repost. Thanks again you guys, I'll get in touch with a few of you soon. In the meantime if you know anyone wanting to get rid of any trad gear or ice climbing gear or snowboards please keep me in mind! You guys rule.

Enquiring minds want to know...

Why, the shoe business getting slow?

A dyslexic half-wit could hotwire an '86 in 30 seconds, if he's slow.
