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?

Whereas I'm the one who started this... no-one was jumping on Chris or accusing him of anything. The guys gear disappeared, someone saw a guy in a truck take it, it was reported to the cops, the cops called Gary who works at the B-way and told him about the grabbed gear and asked if he knew the truck or the driver and asked him to check around and spread the word. So he did. Well, thankfully it turned out that it was a good guy who picked the stuff up for a good reason. But, having "lost" a Lami and a 706Z out of my truck there at dusk several years ago, I , like most normal folks, guessed it had been stolen. What a shocker!!

Anyway. Thankfully it has been returned.
