This one's a little strange...
At J.T. 15 years ago or so I was talking with my friend DE ...I had just finished climbing for the day and was sorting gear when he anounced to me that some of my stuff looked a little familiar.
Knowing I would never steal from him asked me where said stuff came from...I told him I had seen an add for a gear sale on a message board at my local REI in Orange County and bought it from a guy in Costa Mesa Ca.....Well I guess I inadvertently busted this guy because DE and Todd being very suspicious also answered the add and busted this guy with tons of stolen gear.
Seems as though he had broken into Todds house in JT and had gear and books along with stuff that belonged to DE....
DE just recently informed me it was known as the Famous Louie Case.....Glad I could help guys........

Aaron, not the new Tacoma? Time to look for a new one that's not black I suppose.
I always wanted to set my car up with the "mission impossible" setup. Someone breaks in and a cloud of gas is released, then the tape deck starts and states "you have been contaminated with a deadly nerve gas, your insides will turn to mush and you will die a painful, horrifying death unless you turn yourself into the police and have them contact me for the antidote" Of course the gas would be inert, but it would be fun to make them crap their pants.
My dad said they used to solder razor blades to the back of their radios so if someone tried to pull it out they'd leave their fingertips on the floorboard and look like the guy in Road Warrior who tried to catch the razor boomerang.

Mind you this is just a rumor I heard over a campfire from an aquaintance of a friend's partner,but....
It seems that there had been a series of brazen gear thefts that also seemed to happen just before a rise in both lifestyle and climbing ambitions in a certain shady dirtbag who had suddenly moved from rehearsed sport climbs to unrehearsed fiascos on moderate trad routes.
Said fiascos were also occasioned by copious gear abandonment some of which looked very familiar to another climber upon bootyment.
Long story greatly shortened;
Our dirtbag made his final appearance in the climbing world in Accidents in North American Mountaineering.
Gear failure? Possible rockfall. Inconclusive yada yada.
Using someone else's gear is always bad. Geez you never know WHAT they've done with it.

Piton Ron,
I don't think your story is anything to be proud of. Last I checked thievery is not a capital offense. Don't forget, fattrad and Jody read these postings.

Gary I don't think your mockery of Socrates is anything to be proud of but that is something that you ACTUALLY DID.
Why should I be proud of hearing a rumor?

Ak-the grade going up to the Mono lake overlook (ontop of which KTHX™ returns)? Man!
Camnot-i'm pictu-ing a trailer with a dead human logo and oversize jumper cables reaching out to the tow car.
LEB how embarassing would it be to hear a recording of all we, say, sing, exclaim or admonish when we're in our car alone?

I agree LEB I love driving especially long distances, you can think forever in the car while driving.
Then when I get to Los Angeles I like to think about all the different ways to torture the guy that just cut me off. :-)

During the rash of incidents in which a car thief was jackin by kiping the keys out of climber's packs ...(this still happenin?)
My friend Big Lar was soloing TT, he was on the ledge on P1, noodlin the anchor. He leaned back to see the pirate rifle through his pack. Lar yells at the guy, who glances up and starts runnin' down the talus.
Big Lar starts hooking up his rap device and screams, "I'll be down there BEFORE YOU!"
The guy, without breaking stride, tosses Lar's keys into the talus. It took Lar like 3 hours to find his keys...
Fish: "Tool-Du-Jour™"- that's a keeper.

If you can't think of anything Werner, I've got lots of ideas,
and thinking of new ones everyday.
