    Stolen dive gear in Charlotte N.C.

    On Monday Jan 23 2012 someone broke into DIVERS SUPPLY Charlotte N.C.store and made off with a truck load of new dive gear. Most of it was high dollar Regs, dive suits and BC's. I can't give out much more Info at this time, The POLICE are still investigating so thats all I can say for the moment. If ANYONE comes across someone selling divng gear that is suspect please call the Divers supply store in charlotte or the Charlotte/Mech Police !

    That sucks, Sorry to hear that.
    I'd keep an eye out on eBay and Craig's list for sure.
    Is it insured thru business insurance?
    it's not like its some random stuff, all that new gear should get noticed easily.
    Did you keep track of inventory serial numbers? If not, I would from now on.
    Ill keep an eye out, I'm always on eBay looking thru stuff.
    Good luck
