pusspuss 0 #26 April 3, 2006 I just started working at the Farm as a packer and I am pi$$ed that something like this could happen there. Whoever did this does not represent the true spirit of The Farm. I will add $100 to the reward plus a year worth of pack jobs for free! Brett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

labrys 0 #28 April 3, 2006 Good speach but jeez... If all that proprietary info was really on the laptop why the hell wasn't it at least encrypted and password protected? If I was one of the agencies whose data had been at risk this prof would be fired / involved in a lawsuit himself.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Girlfalldown 0 #30 April 3, 2006 This post makes me want to cry (and I'm not some sappy girl that cries over just anything). It also really pisses me off. Things like this are reasons why I've been keeping my backpack with my wallet and camera and everything INSIDE my suitcase where my rig goes and zip it up whenever I'm jumping. You just can't trust anyone anymore. I am really sorry to hear about this and I hope you get it back. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

At first I was hoping someone had put it away for safekeeping, but when it didn't turn up by the afternoon I began thinking the worst. I hope it "turns up" very soon. A very nice time otherwise.

Richards 0 #32 April 3, 2006 Sorry this happened to you. I have long since lost any faith in human decency. That is not to say that everyone is a scumbag, as there are some very ethical people, but anytime you are in a group it is statistically likely that a scumbag is present. Truly a shame that this had to happen at a DZ where you are supposed to feel at home. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

DavidKing 0 #33 April 3, 2006 God This Really pisses me off. Robbie I'm so sorry, you and your beautiful wife are great people. I also would like to add 100.00 dollars to the reward / pay to return fund. As you know my music files are up over 14,000 songs as well, if you need any or all you are welcome to them Please let me know if I can be of ANY help.

Whether Scott's dog is involved or not, Karma will bite this person in the ass... now, or later. Robbie, I'll be glad to kick in $50 to the reward fund, too."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

hexadecimal 0 #37 April 3, 2006 Sorry you have to deal with this bullshit... people make me fucking sick. I regularly leave money, thousands of dollars worth of skydiving gear, cameras, etc... in the open at my home DZ (SDC). Pretty much everyone else there does the same thing. It's incredibly sad to think that even in an environment where we all feel confident enough to do that, there may eventually be a scumbag, such as the one who stole your laptop, to ruin it for everyone.

It's already happened at SDC. I believe with a video camera, middle of the day 4-5 years ago. Luckily with the help of some jumpers the people were tracked down and busted. Woody made a video of it, ask around. Hopefully that's what will happen to whoever took this laptop too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaoskitty 0 #39 April 3, 2006 Awwww man! I really hope that somene just put it away for safekeeping and forgot about it. If it was stolen, whoever did it will be revealed in time. It would be much better for them to return it sooner rather than later. This sort of deed does not go unpunished. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSpenceFLY 1 #40 April 3, 2006 While the reward fund is a nice thought maybe the effort would be better spent on a replacement fund.If everyone who has ever enjoyed Robbie supplying the tunes to any of the events throws in a few bucks at least the financial burden is removed from Robbie and Marianne.I know this does not help with the files but in the event it is not found it's the best we can do.Robbie do you have a PayPal account?? .

MagicGuy 0 #43 April 3, 2006 It's sad that a person has to watch over their personal belongings around a group of people who are supposed to be like family. Rasta, I'm sure the culprit will be revealed in time. Hopefully nothing major (if anything) will be lost in the process. Best of luck, and whoever stole the computer, F.U.

goofyjumper 0 #44 April 3, 2006 I know Lee and I can put in some money for you guys. We will see what happens. We need some good investigators. I know someone had to have seen something and maybe didn't even think about what was going on. I remember music still playing when we went to bed, but I have no idea when we went to bed though. The last time I remember the laptop was when we were playing poker, but that was way early in the night.----------------- I love and Miss you so much Honey!

Snowwhite 0 #45 April 3, 2006 We had a thief at the WFFC last year. When we caught him (and it didn't take much) we found that he had a whole trunk load of stuff that he had stolen at dropzones across the country. His picture was posted on dz.com, maybe a couple of you who were at the boogie could find the post and look at the pic and see if it is him. I know that he is no longer in jail....

raftman 12 #49 April 3, 2006 Man, sorry to hear your stuff got ripped. I learned the hard way a long time ago, if you leave your stuff alone out in the open, there's some asshole out there that thinks they deserve it more than you do. I hope ya'll catch the bastard.

I have been known to pick up robbies laptop, mine and erics, because I was the last one up. when I went to bed, but I went to bed early this weekend. but as I went to bed, I almost grabbed his laptop and took it in my RV, now I wish I had. but I knew they were all still up.. so anyeway, Im sure robbie would let the person keep the hardware if he could just have the files back, they are priceless.
