Fark. If everyone spreads the word about those valley giants they could get caught, who would sell those! My condolences.

Just in case the stolen rack is split up and sold in smaller lots, with the key pieces linking crook to contraband being Valley Giants, please tell us what colour the Valley Giants are, so that they are instantly recognisable by us in any photos we may see.

Yep - The Valley Giants are the standard Silver/Alloy. There are no noticeable markings, except the 12" 'Sling' where the Biner goes in has a kink in it from a whipper at Buffalo.

Sorry to read of your loss bro, and I hope you get it all back.
Re the items, does any of it have any distinguishing markings? If not, how did you sort it from a blended rack when climbing with a partner who has gear?

My climbing partners we've always just kinda taken one rack and then the other persons rope so there has never really been an issue, but when I started climbing I did wrap some of my cam stems with red electrical tape.

To make a joke out of the whole situation (I can't do anything else), perhaps before you buy any climbing gear, send me a picture? :D Just kidding.

Just kidding? Definitely if anyone is buying any of these items on fb, gumtree etc they should send you a pic, and insist on having some seller I.d

Hi everyone,

Most of this gear has been 'returned' to me :D

Some is gone for good, but that's ok. I've got most of the specialty items back.

Thanks to everyone who contacted me when they saw the Market Place post :D

The 'theives'....

Let's just say that they were well known to the police, and got a 2am wakeup call, with all 3 arrested (with 1 of the 3 being on bail, another on a good behaviour bond) :D :D :D
