serious help needed

[Tokemon]

OK, here's the scoop. I know some people like me, and some don't. this is a fellow BASE jumper asking for help. I had my van stolen in Portland, and when it was recovered everything was in it, minus my BASE rig. it is a sorcerer, with a dragon 235 and a swift reserve. dragon colors are all grey with a yellow center cell, and a baby blue swift reserve. the sorcerer is charcoal grey with yellow on the back flaps.
anyone that can get their hands on this, please do. I will pay you $50 over the pawner's asking price, and $150 over the price if you can give me a first name of the pawner, or a description. I will handle the rest.
PLEASE keep your eyes open for a BASE rig for sale. I really want this back.
Thanks,
Thomas :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

That sucks. We'll keep our eyes open. Hope you got something to keep in the air.

I saw a need for divine intervention and so I, the supreme higherpower made your rig disappear. I looked into your future and you have a promising career in bowling...or was it knitting? Either way, you should thank me...I saved your life.

I seen your Rig at the Pawn Shop at the corner of 7th and State Street. Where's my $150 Bucks?

I would think the people most likely to be looking at buying that rig are skydivers. Did you try posting a "Stolen Gear Alert" at one or all of these places:

I'd try that as well as this, if I were you.

A Sorcerer rig is a BASE Rig, not a Skydiving Rig as Mr. Tom Know it all Aiello says.

I believe that Sorcerers have lost popularity with the general BASE community, and are most likely to be purchased by skydivers new to BASE, who feel a need for two canopies.

jeez Tom, looks like someone has a case of the ass for you! who's wheaties did you piss in lately?

leave Tom be, he seems cool to me!

[guest]

Tom,
Could you or anyone else explain why Sorcerers seem to be falling out of favor within the BASE community. I've been thinking on buying one to go along with my 2 pin single.
Thanks in advance,

I was mostly making an observation about the relative popularity that I have seen among other jumpers.

Let's start a new thread on Sorcerers, and see what everyone has to say.
