Hi,

OK, so we know it's fifty million to one that we catch them but some of the stuff will stick out like a sore thumb in the local street markets, which is where the police think is a good idea to look, along with e bay.

What's gone:

Fourth Element T shirts, tops & hoodies with a small quantity of xerotherm and thermocline.
1 pair BLUE Force Fins size L. Should be easy to spot these!
Suunto computers various + Smart Z, Xtender,Dtimer - all with serial numbers. The dummy computers went too.
Knives - some unmarked but also some Scuba Pro, which say Scuba Pro either on the front or back of the blade.
Ortlieb giant bright red bag + bright yellow holdall - all clearly marked Ortlieb.
A few Oceanic/Scuba Pro BCD's, fins and mini Ultra Dry snorkels. BCD's have serial numbers.
Oceanic Ladies Shadow semi-dry's and mix of Oceanic & Scuba Pro Ladies Shorties.
UK C4 sunlight torches. lime and yellow.
Scuba Pro modular light system - has serial number.
All in all it's not too bad, as there was evidence of lack of intelligence! Warning to anyone coming to see us, please wear rubber soled boots, armour plating and phone in advance.

Huge thank you for all the support we've had and don't worry if your kit is with us for testing or servicing - only one single piece of customer's gear went - a Stinger 208356 rubber strap.

So, to anyone out there, keep your eyes skinned if you're walking through your local market or car boot this weekend (as all the diving has been called off.....) and look for new Suunto/Scuba Pro/Oceanic kit or those blue force fins!

John says they didn't take much because if he doesn't understand my storage system and can't find anything, no wonder they didn't.

Cheers,
Jacquie,

Keep your eye on eBay- our DO had his gear nicked and got most of it back when the police went and kicked someone's door in in Chesterfield after we told them it was stolen kit. They went and posed as the buyer who had come to collect and the barmaid broke down and told them everything.

Result!

You're lucky the coppers wouldn't even bother to take the serial numbers when our stuff went :(

Oooh I remember when the scam was on for that Woz. Good to know the police got involved, did they arrest anyone for the theft? Surely not the barmaid?

Sorry to hear about the theft. JRServices provide excellent service and deserve the support of any diver who may be in a position to help them recover the stolen kit.
