Re: gear theft

What a bummer! My mouth dropped when I read your post! I had always sort of hoped that a set of doubles would be too much trouble to steal and I am just shocked!

I recommend keeping an eye out in the Portland market too as we will do here at the shop for you. I hope for recovery of these items!
