Stolen Airsoft Equipment
Sunday, April 8th 2019
Lake Elsinore, California
Our team was playing at Jungle Island/Wildlands Airsoft Park, and after a long day of airsoft, we decided to go eat for dinner at the nearest Costco
When our team goes airsofting, we take two vehicles. One sedan and one truck. The truck carries the entire cache of gear and weapons while the sedan carries more personal items and the crew.
A team member, the driver of the truck, parked at the Costco and, out of all days, did not place the gun bags and gear inside the truck as precaution. A mistake on his part, but cannot be blamed completely. None of us including myself see to it that the gear would be loaded into the truck.
Our teammate went to go gas his truck at the Costco pumps, and returned quickly, saying that all of our gear has been stolen. At first we thought he was playing a prank on us, but sure enough we went, and all of our gear that was on the truck bed was missing.
Plate carriers, batteries, bags, guns...
The thieves took everything.
We have checked every single day on Craigslist, HopUp, LetGo, Facebook Marketplace, and OfferUp, with no leads.
We have reported our stolen goods to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department with no leads.
We have had our friends in the Southern Californian airsoft community help us, with no leads.
We have given up on trying to find them, and now want to rebuild what we have lost not just as a team, but as best friends.
We hope that fellow airsofters, fans of the sport/hobby, friends, relatives, and even complete strangers help us rebuild what we've lost.
We cannot offer anything at the moment in return, but your names will be saved, and we will hopefully repay it in a significant way that'll show our appreciation for your contributions and help.
On behalf of all of Rancor Team, thank you.
