Tough Lesson

Came across this article recently and thought of you guys. Would you go to these sort of measures ti get your things back from a thief? I sympathize with this guy on some level, but I also can't imagine leaving $60,000 worth of gear in an IHOP parking lot...

Wow, I'm glad that I've never had anything close to that value stolen from me. I have no idea how I would react to a situation like this, but it has to be heartbreaking.

While leaving valuable gear in an unattended parking lot is a boneheaded move, you've gotta admire the lengths this guy is willing to do to get his things back.
