They got the lot!

[starfish30]

Hi All, I’m hoping you can help me. This afternoon my OH had his van stolen. Along with it went a trailer and ALL his dive gear. We are talking 2 drysuits, twin set, sets of regs, camera, torches, 2 VR3’s, compressor, j bottles, the lot. I will update this with a full list of everything with makes and models once we’ve done the list but if anyone hears anything or gets offered anything, please do the right thing and let us know or report it to the police.

We are also asking for people to keep an eye out for his van as it’s a Mercedes Sprinter of a fairly distinctive lime green colour with reg KX52, and again if anyone see’s, hears or knows of anything please call the police or let us know.

Thanks guys.

Sorry to hear about the loss. I hope they catch the bastards & you get the gear back.

I'm sure the YD folk will keep an eye out on ebay etc if you posst a full list of kit thats gone.

Good Luck

Our ex-DO had all his kit nicked from his van. Saw it on eBay, put in a silly bid, won it, then the police went round to "collect" it.

Result!

Thanks guys, after an incredibly hectic weekend we now have the van back with some of the dive gear. All of the tools and the trailer went and they ripped out the satnav and speakers so it looks a complete mess. They also drove the van with the side door open so there are reports of some dive gear that has been found elsewhere in the area so we are keeping our fingers crossed that there might be more coming back.

It had to be recovered and fingerprinted so we haven't had chance to go through it properly and see what we have lost but it looks like all the small easy stuff, computers, camera etc and a box or two of dive tools and kit. I'll pop back on with a list.

That is great news about the ebay find. What a joy to not only get your stuff back but to be able to do it like that. Fantastic. We will definitely keep our eye out on ebay and we are just off to chelford car boot sale in the hope of picking up some cheap dive gear and tools.

Thanks guys

If you still have the boxes/serial numbers or have registered your Vr3's with Delta P ... if you alert them they'll flag them up, if they ever go in for servce or have a pin upgrade.... you should get them back.
