Found some nice gear at TF
We ended up with a Reactor 4 and a black and white Fox. This gear was left in the park on a picnic table by the Go Fast Booth. They were the last ones out of the park that night and took it with them. I'm sure that the owner wouldn't mind getting their stuff back. Please email adrenaline@vertigobase.com
Thanks!

I'm sure most BASE jumpers trust each other to be honest, but have you considered removing the description of the gear (except for where it was found) and asking the owner to describe it to you?

Also, Johnny Utah found a camera on Saturday where we were packing which is right by where we had the BBQ. If anyone thinks the camera is theirs email : johnny@johnnyutah.com

Oh, I kept out some secret details, I assure you.
Anyway, I found the person through the serial number and he was very relieved.
Thanks!

Was he still drunk?

Is there any way to make it impossible to find the owner through the S/N?

How many of the Base gear manufacturers keep S/N + owner records?

As someone that was once very worried about being tracked down from a S/N I am very interested in this.

A manufacturer (who happens to have manufactured some gear you might have worried about) once told me that he keeps no "official" records of gear ownership. He might have some unofficial "personal" records that he could refer to in the case of lost or stolen gear, though.

Excellent.

Yup. In case of a recall of ANY sort, those unofficial records could come in handy.
