Seven Seas Scuba Theft

Post by Gooch »

Folks,

Seven Seas Scuba in Vancouver was the victim of a smash and grab last night. They broke out the front door and took a bunch of stuff before the cops arrived. Please keep an eye out for brand-new gear being sold on craigs or ebay from the local area.
They got camera gear, some BCD's and more than a few dive computers and lights and other misc stuff. If you have an idea that you have suspicious gear in a transaction, feel free to give me a call (Pat Guthrie 360-772-4489) or call Seven Seas directly (360-260-9969)

We have a strong suspicion the guy who did this drives a Washington-plated Silver Ford Taurus. The driver was Hispanic.

Thanks for your help- this kind of stuff makes me :angry: and if I catch them I'll :boxer: then we'll make 'em walk the plank, matey :pirate:

Man....I hate to hear this and I hate thieves!

I hope that the criminals are caught soon and the goods returned without damage.

There was an Oceanic Excursion BCD, a Scubapro Nighthawk BCD, Oceanic Datamask, Oceanic VT3 were some of the bigger things. I don't know the details on cameras but I know they were housings - no cameras. I'm trying to get a fuller list right now.

Insurance should cover most of it, no?
