Its the case of would u leave a car worth £1,000 unlocked with a sign saying steal me in big letters? Thought not, but thats what some people seem to do with there marker, with them just lying on a table in the players area, I know that if my kit got nicked I would be out of the sport due to it cost so much to replace, hence why I'm so carefull :)

well, 300 ballers at star wars..........not heard of anything being thieved yet.
Some of the thieves must be our own, but it's gonna get a lot worse this year..........paintball is getting more coverage and becoming more accessible............ and the pikeys already know we are a soft touch.

One of the biggest problems at Campaign cup was the level of public assess. In the future we have to seperate players from spectators.
We hired a security company to make the players area totally secure, and they couldn't do it. In the end we had to take staff off other areas and put them on the door to check id cards.
But as we make paintball tourneys more accessable to the public, more of the public will try to steal your stuff,

so;

The best way to combat theft is to lock your bag, and lock your bag to the table, and get some good insurance on your kit. Don't trust anyone.

I'm glad to hear no one theived anything from Starwars, maybe the type of player that heads out to scenario games is a bit more... honest?

Aaaaaaaaah, bag of shyte, cut their fingers off, I say, bring back the birch. I'm not joking though when I say national service is a good thing. Oh, and Jose, someone nicked my memory from about 9.30 onwards on Sat night. And lock ya kit up with a padlock.

If you need a proper company to do your security for next year give me a call. I can supply you guys that do Concerts, and some of the top clubs and pubs in and around London at a good price.
