Car Break in at Dam Cliffs?

I heard from friends who we're climbing at Dam Cliffs two weeks ago that a car had its window smashed & a bag full of trad gear stolen. Apparently the owners were "young guys from Queensland" so not sure if they are Chocky regulars.
Anyone know more?

Shame - Dams is always such a nice place to take the kids. Now I get the heebie geebies considering it.

Hi everyone,

Im down from brisbane and have been climbing in the bluies for the past week and have had a bit of a rough trip. On thursday i was climbing at dam cliffs for a few hours and when i got back to the car the passenger side window of my ute had been smashed in and my entire trad rack plus a few other bits of climbing gear were stolen. Ive let the police know but lets be real its pretty unlikely that they are going to find the people who stole it. The following is a list of everything that was in my blue and yellow salomon bag that was stolen. If anyone sees this up for sale anywhere or hears of a friend buying a full trad rack off gumtree or something could you please let me know so i can inform the lithgow police and try to get my stuff back. Thanks heaps everyone :)

Thanks for the info Reg - what a terrible holiday! I hope the dumbasses try to sell it and get snagged. It happens with bikes, and climbing is a far more niche market.
That sucks, for him and for climbers generally who thought the Dams was back to being a nice place to be on a hot day.

I know: the dams has always had a benign feel to it, as do the blueys crags in general. Such a sad experience for Liam and co, and probably an unpleasant end to his holiday. It's not a nice feeling to think we need to be concerned about cars getting broken into, as is the vibe around Thompsons point. What's most distressing is that the thieves are obviously targeting a very nice-sounding rack: does this mean they are themselves climbers, or that they know the value of climbing gear?
