The theft of ones gear is about as low as someone can go. The response I have see do not suprise me one bit from the community. Having been robbed of my collection some time ago, the support from all the MIA members have kept me going. The members that are offering help and support is one of the main reason I stay in the sport. I am sorry you gear was stolen. But I for one must say hats off to the community for helping out.

I was thinking we could setup a donation thread. If everyone pitched in just a few dollars we could get him an exact replacement. Although it sounds like Jeff has already stepped up to the plate for all of us. I was acutaly thinking the same thing. I don't see the harm in it, since he also had a few attachments I think. Sea-Moose - море лося: If you could post a list of what was stolen, that would give a better idea as to how much people would need to donate. I already PM'd him earlier asking the same question, but at the time I was going to keep the whole idea on the DL. I think he may have thought I had something to do with it .

Sorry, I missed this, what gear was stolen? I know that the gun was stolen, but someone took his gear too? What was taken?

I am also down for donating money to the replacement fund. Stealing someone's gear and/or gun is just the most lowly thing that can be done. Sorry, I missed this, what gear was stolen? I know that the gun was stolen, but someone took his gear too? What was taken? I don't think his gear was stolen, just the gun. People were just noting past experiences when some form of gear was stolen.

I don't think any gear was stolen. I was just going to donate some of mine though since I didn't have a gun I could give away.

ATM, I can't really donate anything big since I need to sell some of my bigger items. I'd love to throw in what I can, though.
Back to the more positive side of the event. Is anybody working of a video, and can someone post some pictures?

Sea-Moose - море лося I'm really sorry your Masada was stolen. If I had a extra AEG, by which one I could easily replace and not miss, I would gladly donate it to you. Sadly monies tight for me and I scrape up to get what I have. Sadly since I'm new to the sport I do not have extra gear or goodies to donate to you, however I would gladly donate some money to help you purchase a new gun, which I think we should have donation spots set up at every upcoming event until destruction has enough for a new A&K Masada. In Addition if the necessary funds for a new gun are not reached by the time my PS3 is sold I will donate half of whatever I make off its sale.

Someone just needs to take the burden of collecting the money, giving out a paypal email address would likely be the best option. Someone that is obviously a trusted member of the community, so there is no worry over them taking the money and running. That or if Destruction wants to give out a paypal email, we could just donate directly to him.

I think it would be good to have the option of both, donate to him in paypal or cash.

Once we get the donation situation figured out, I know I would like to pitch in some. But on a side note, I was going through my tool box and found a flat head screwdriver missing, which has a similar handle to this one: img811.imageshack.us/img811/8739/1370893985093.jpgI know it is only a screwdriver, and it was more of an issue of forgetting to return it(or me forgetting to take it possibly) as opposed to it being stolen, but I always like for my items to be accounted for. Thanks. PM me if by chance you know where it might be.

I wasnt able to make the event and very much regret not going but i know how much it sucks to loose or have stolen guns and gear. Last event at 28 & Gratiot i lost my KWA USP pistol and was totally bummed cuz it was a XMas gift from my woman so I would like to offer what i can to help. I have a tan replica Eotech I could donate, I don't use it anymore so its just sitting in my airsoft toolbox. I have a long and short version if you want it.

As awesome as Jeff's offer is, I have a little bit of good news.
Debbie the owner at NL called Will the rep from Valken and told him what happened. He said to give one of the G&G rifle's they sent to the young man who had his gun stolen and Valken will comp it.
I''m trying to get a hold of Deb, but she may be calling xxdestructionxx as I believe he left his number with her.

Are there any videos up of the games yesterday? I know I saw at least 2 guys with helmet cams.

Had an awesome time for the most part. Got to meet the man, myth and legend Zorak in person, pulled a 300ish foot headshot with my Maruzen, and enjoyed the company of all of the rest of you I had the chance to finally meet. Also, the food was excellent, and fairly priced to boot. Aside from the island incident and the Masada being stolen, I didn't hear much negative feedback there, nor did I see it here. I hope everybody enjoyed themselves and I hope whoever took that gun gets what they have coming.
