Help!! My daughters dive gear has been stolen

[Bubble Watcher]

My daughter goes to Texas A&m Galveston for marine biology. Two nights ago, all of her gear was stolen. She has alerted TAMUG and UTMB, the police, pawn shops and dive shops in the area. I also have contacted dive shops in MN to alert the upper midwest. If anyone can help please let me know!! Thanks, Kathy Mora, MN

That bites!

We would need a discription of the gear, sizes, brands, colors, etc

I hope she gets it all back

Tell her to watch Craigslist.org in her area.

Do you have the serial numbers of the regulators and BC? If not, contact the LDS where they were purchased.

Yes she has all of her serial numbers and she has given those to all of the places that she has contacted.

I'm not sure what you would like the members of SB to do (other than diversteve's excellent post about watching craigslist) ((and maybe e/bay too)) without any info on what gear to look out for

Sorry, she has a Mares Kayla BC size small, Henderson 5mm small, mask fins and snorkel. Luckily I just found out that her regulators, guages and computer were left at the school so those were not stolen

Were the items not kept together in the same spot? It seems funny that anybody that knows SCUBA would steal a BC, mask and fins before they would steal Regs and computer. I hope I am right in saying that it seems like a dirty prank.

Other than that, I agree that Craigslist, Ebay and the local dive community is where to watch. I highly doubt someone is going to steal a BC in TX and drive it to NJ to sell it.

Lucky for her the costliest toys weren't stolen! Descriptions, ei: color, any markings or other identifying charactoristics?
