crapflinger2000 1 #1 August 14, 2006 Hey folks, I was going through my gear collection, cleaning out the spider egg sacs and separating out my long lost collection of vintage leaking Duracel D-cell batteries, and came across the following: One complete rig, that someone dropped off to me in my rigging days for a repack (like 7 years ago) but never came to collect. There is no owner info on the packing data card. Anyway, my concern is that if I sell this thing, it could come back to bite me in the ass if it turns out to be hot, so I better do some due diligence. Anyway, it is an all-black Talon with some minor neon color pin-striping on the top flap. Falcon/Raven canopies. I dont mean one of the newer spiffy talons, I am talking about the old-ass early 90s Vector 2 style rig. Anyway, if this somehow rings a bell, send me a PM and we can start talking serial numbers and stuff. __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

PhreeZone 15 #2 August 14, 2006 The owners name is not in your rigging book from when you did the repack?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #3 August 14, 2006 Can you contact the manufacturers to see if the gear is registered?"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

crapflinger2000 1 #4 August 14, 2006 What rigging book? J/K. Ususally I just entered whatever was on the PDC. Since the PDC was blank, no info to enter in my log book. NWFlyer, good call on the manufacturers, I'll drop them an email and see what they say. __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?

cameramonkey 0 #5 August 14, 2006 I'd say do what you want with it. Alot of places have a "leave it here >90 days and its ours" policy. I'd say 7 years is long enough to wait for someone to say "hey, dont you still have a rig of mine?". Check the stolen gear listings, and if its not there, sell it.Two wrongs don't make a right, however three lefts DO! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #6 August 14, 2006 Like NWFlyer said... Contact Sandy Reid and check with him. He keeps incredibly good records. He would have the name of the original buyer, at least. It would be a good start. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crapflinger2000 1 #7 August 14, 2006 Yeah, I am of a mind to go that route too and make a fast buck. But I figure I better keep my karma credit up to date by going that extra mile. __________________________________________________ What would Vic Mackey do?
