No TND, what we're saying is that thieves exist in all circles, cold hard fact of human behavior. There are also murderers, liars and cheats around too... While having faith in humanity is a good thing, i wouldn't be to trusting in it.

If you leave your gear lying around you run the risk of someone flogging it, claiming it as booty or seeing it as litter, simple as that. Hide it better or take the stuff home with you (doesn't look like some of the 5 hour walk-ins that i've done in the past). Bad luck buddy, i hope someone is just minding it for you, but i wouldn't bet on your chances.

And from what i've been reading recently, that karma cheque won't cash until they drop dead anyway. They'll probably just get reincarnated as a dog/horse/newt or some kind of bug. :P
