NSPL Theft

[HUSH HUSH]

Yet again 3x Markers stolen from readings NSPL site.

What the fcuk is going on and when will something actually be done??
Luckily our team were not on the recieving end this time but we made sure we had some one with our gear the whole time.

The event organisers stated they were going to search all cars which i know would take for ever and may not actually retrieve the Markers but when we left there was no sign of this happening.

Peolpe still parade their brand new Markers on pretty stands for all to see and tempt. LOCK the fcuking things in your car when not being used and if you can, try and have someone watch your gear when your playing to remove the temptation of the thieves...... hopefully they may go else where if we start removing what they want..... any easy steal.

Someone knows who is doing this and id like to say on behalf of im sure every one in paintball "FCUK OFF" else where and steal sh!t.

I dread the day someone actually gets caught trying to take something - major lynch session!!!

personally, wouldnt hold anyone responsible for their actions after they caught some pickey being off with their pride & joy!
Only way to get the message through that we aint gonna tolerate it!

The s*it thing is, if you catch them and pummel em for it....you will be the one getting in trouble. They will probably get councilling and a nice holiday. The great british justice system.

All this thieving is getting everyone down. Wish the little b's would just f**k off somewhere else

don't mean to put a downer on this, but the theives could be registered users and looking at our very posts and just smirking.

very sorry to hear about the thefts of markers, i know it would be devastating for our team if we lost even 1 or 2.

I think it's a case of vigilance tho- if you're happy to leave a marker unnatended at a table etc then you gotta realise there is the potential for that marker to get stolen. we're not at the stage yet where we can safely leave equipment at a staging area AT ANY EVENT not just UK tournies.

Personally i think locking your marker in your car or even to the table with a bike cable lock (through the trigger guard if you were wondering how that'd work) is the safest bet.

I do hope these markers are found and returned to their owners- one of my team suffered a theft of his entire kit bag several years ago and it took him a while to get kitted up again.

...or worse Chris - they could be actually posting 'solutions' to hide their actions.

Not pointing ANY fingers (so don't go there) - merely pointing out that the thief/thieves could be one of us lot (me included - maybe it's time I changed my nick).

So - yet again - WATCH YOUR STUFF!!!

Now there is a thought

indeed, just boils down to looking after your stuff more vigilantly and only trusting plays you know you can trust!
