I am in the process of making Tracy a checklist to put on the inside of her trunk lid. Will be very simple to check gear out and check gear back into your vehicle. I will get one your way Russel as soon as I'm finished.
Master Lock 5400D. I've had one attached to my rear bumper for several years and it still works great. Excellent investment. The combination is easy to change. I give my dive buddies the combo of the day and they have a way to get to the keys if I end up making the connection to Nirvana and don't exit with them. It also doubles as an easy way to leave a house key for out of town guests, since it locks onto a house door knob easily.
I know this doesn't address the OP's issue, but seems like a good place to share the info. I hope you find your stolen gear, and that thieves end up with giant, painful boils on their nether regions while they sit in jail.

My name is Shirley Kasser Creech and I approve this message. Well, at least one of me does, anyway. Maybe. Fire. Sharp things. Squirrel!
Shirley you're not serious? No, I'm not, but do stop calling me Shirley.
On two occasions I have returned from a dive at GINNIE and found I had left my car door not only unlocked but open! Nothing missing.

I did that at JB once. I suspect an open door tells potential thieves that you are coming right back
LoL! I only seem to lose dive booties!
Also guilty of that. Also apparent nothing was taken.
Not certain this is a methodology I would recommend though

I have a basic truck (no power locks, key fobs or anything fancy). I lock my primary key ring out of sight in the cab, wear the back- up primary key around my neck & let my buddy wear the Valet key around his neck (simple necklaces made of cave line), in case of an emergency & he needs to get in the cab to get the main key ring. I also lock up the camper shell (key is on the main key ring).
Some good things do happen, several years ago I left my ratty unwashed for several weeks weezle hanging on the fence at ginnie and left for tampa to attend a florida sea grant meeting. Realized what I had done in tampa posted here begging for someone to pick up my toxic undergarment and throw it in a garbage bag for me. When I got back 2 days later Marson had picked it up for me and it was freshly laundered and waiting a cave east....what a guy! Bill Huth
