Chris top notch I to had my truck broke into last year and lost soe stuff.. Glad to know someone honest grabbed it to return it to the owner.. I think sometimes people jump to quick myself included.. Earlier this year a guy went into the drink down the hill left without his gear due to bein shaken up and was trashed on another site for it.. If you contact Ctown police Im sure they will help you contact owner..

The plans is to contact the charlestown police, the thing that worries me is the fact that no one has heard from the guy.

Any ideas if hes ok?

Thumbs up

Chris had posted it earlier on another linked website looking for the rightful owner. Had he not stepped in and helped a stranger, chances are it would have been gone with the next passerby.

Just got off the phone with the Charlestown Police.


The officer knew of the gear and the situation was very relieved that I called it in. They are going to give him my contact information once he is released.

Hope he is alright but who would leave their gear just sitting there and go away for even 10 minutes?
Its a good thing that an honest person picked up the stuff instead of someone that might not have tried to return it.

Good job!!!!

Like the old saying goes " A good deed never goes unpunished".

The easy thing to do would be to walk away and leave it. But being a good person someone takes it upon themselves to realize something was amiss and to take the time out of their life to try to get the gear back to the owner. From other accounts I have heard the gear was there unattended for over an hour but I digress that that is just what I have heard and I should not make any assumptions based upon hearsay. Unless you were one of the people actually involved everyone should stop jumping to their own conclusions based upon hearsay

chefchris401 should be commended for trying to do the right thing. Too bad the guy's cell phone was dead also as this might have sped things up

Chris is an honest good guy and someone you would want to find your gear. Did the guy take a nap or something? Why was his gear not with him. I didn't talk to Chris yet to get the story but there are always 2 sides. What was the other side of the story about leaving his gear sitting around?
