lost or stolen deco bottle

[Jordan]

I am posting this for a friend:

A Luxfer Aluminum 30 with an "Oxygen" tank wrap was taken Thursday 7/29/05 between 6:30 pm and 6:45 pm from underwater next to the stairs at Little Devils. If this was picked up on accident by a fellow diver then please return it to the front desk at Ginnie. It had a DR regulator and SPG as well as a DR stage strap. The tank was well used and the yellow paint was flaking off. If you have seen or run across this bottle I would appreciate it if you would return it to me.

Our best guess is that if it was stolen, it was probably someone parked over at Turkey Roost, and a lone snorkler was seen swimming in the run at that time.

Thank you

Geoffrey,

That really stinks if it was stolen...

We dove Ginnie last weekend and even though it was hot and a hassle, we all carried or AL 40's to and from the dive, there is no need to tempt fate with the latest rash of "disappearances" there.

I hope it gets recovered. BTW, is your frind's name on the cylinder?

No - his name was not on the cylinder. It wasn't even his cylinder-he was borrowing it.

I was there last night, and I don't remember anything out of the ordinary. There weren't even that many people there (cave divers or others).

We talked about this before I'll find my old post if you want...

We need to have then give us as many consecutive numbered bands as we need for our stuff. Then they need to have REAL security checking people.. ! if they have dive equipment and no Dive band they take it.

If they have a dive band that the numbers don't match they take it to until the guy can explain why his band does not match.

Just make it open season on thieves...

Post a sniper on top of the bathroom building. We can use volunteers, and take shifts. I'll even volunteer for the first shift.

Maybe they can get former SS officers as advisors.

It's getting to the point on weekends that you have to bring a f#$%ing steel cable and an combination lock to chain you stuff to the steps. They need to enforce NO TUBERS on the left hand set of steps, and have someone in the ginnie staff on post there to watch out for divers entry and their gear.

Unproductive gnashing of teeth. I don't want to be involved any more. I just want to go dive.
