Why do you say that your neighbours are thieves?

The joke about ebay is exactly the kind of joke that someone might make in this situation; either to break the ice, or as an indirect way of saying: "you're lucky I'm honest and returned it to you".

How did nuna(warring?) get involved? Did your neighbours approach them trying to *sell* the gear, or trying to find out who owned the gear? f the latter, you'd be way out of line in calling them thieves.

I've had all my own gear stolen recently, so I am no friend of people who steal climbing gear. But so far, unless I have missed it, you've said nothing to support your description of your neighbours as thieves.
