On Valentine's eve, my instructor had her gear stolen out of her car in Long Beach. She was due to leave the next morning for a scuba instruction trip in Florida.
Since we are a pretty close community, as divers, I thought I would put the info out here. It absolutely sickens me to think that someone who steal dive gear period... but from a person as nice as my instructor/friend. She's the kind of person who gives 120% to her students, very sweet and just down right cool.
Anyhow, the gear is unique as she's a really small woman -> barely 5'0", dives in a dry suit and is worth probably like $3K - $4K. She had everything stolen except her mask and fins
I'll try and get more details about her gear but she does have all gear marked with "D. Schlecht" and her instructor number.
If you see it out there on e-bay or whatever, it's hot gear. Talk about bad karma to dive in stolen gear! Ouch! Our LDS and other friends were able to help her out with some gear but on a limited budget it will take a very long time for her to replace her gear.
