What is missing:

doubles reg (right post): Apeks DS4 first stage, Scubapro G250 primary (7ft hose) with blueish cover (very distinct), inflator
4 stage regs: 3 DS4, 1 DST, all second stages Apeks Tx40/XTX40/TX50.
400 ft Halcyon with very faint phone number on a handle
150ft spool with halcyon 3 ft sausage attached. Says "MACIEK" on top
100ft spool
40 ft spool
halcyon 40lbs liftbag with 'MACIEK" written on top
HOG 6 foot semiclosed sausage yellow with "MACIEK" on top and chainlink attached at the bottom with original plastic removed
XL jet fins with springstraps with phone number written in one of the slots
otter bay hood 9mm
deep see kevlar gloves
rock boots. quite used, size 9
wetsuit boots, O'Neal size 9
1 Look mask black
1 other mask

That really sick's Dude Do you have homeowners insurance Report it to them and see if they will help with the reimbursement.

Ouch! I'm sorry Marciek.

Someone just picked up some rotten Karma.

Good luck finding your equipment.

 

[TSandM]

Oh, so sorry, Maciek. I'd recommend checking with all the pawnshops near where the stuff was stolen. That's how we recovered saddles we had stolen a number of years ago. Craigslist is good to watch, too.

 

[FrankPro1]

Craiglist, Ebay, Local Pawn Shops & Dive stores. Check them all Sorry to hear about your loss. Where and how were these stolen?

Was your equip stolen on a dive trip or from your home or car?? Very curious. I've noticed that at Catalina, most divers are less concerned about security of their equipment. I've been considering getting equipment insurance through DAN and wondering if other people are doing this too.

Was stolen from the car parked on a street at hollywood

 

[fnfalman]

Local pawn shop checks is about the only thing you can do. You did report to the police, right? At least get it on paper so that maybe you might run into your gears in a pawn shop or something.

The Saudi Arabians had the right idea about chopping hands off thieves.

Ten years ago or so i had all my freediving gear stolen in Malibu-- not nearly the worth of scuba gear but at the time i was broke and feediving was my main escape from the city so I was enraged. I was at Matador state beach and I left the car for 15 minutes to check the water conditions and when i got back to the parking lot my window had been smashed and gearbag gone. I drove back to LA in shock, broken glass all over the car. This is one of the problems with scuba bumper stickers and such, that they advertise whats inside.
