This thread is designed to give members an idea of equipment that has been stolen. We ask that everyone please keep comments to themselves and only post here if you are reporting missing equipment or have information related to missing equipment. Any public safety equipment is fair game to be posted here, but please no "Lost Cat" posters.


The template below is a sample of the IDEAL report to provide ELB members with. If you have all, some, or almost none of this information please post whatever you do have. Obviously the more information you have, the better but we (as an ELB community) can work with what every you have.


To streamline the process we've created a template to follow when posting:


Location stolen from:


Item description: (ie. dashlight, lightbar, surface mount, whole vehicle, portable radio, mobile radio, antenna, ect.)


Make:


Model:


Serial:


Identifying marks: (department sticker, unique damage)


Date stolen:


Contact information:


Additional information:


Photos:


As always, any questions feel free to PM site staff!

My brother's truck was stolen in July. While the truck was recovered, the thieves made off with his fire department gear. Not much for specifics, other than yellow coat, pants, helmet and boots, marked with KCFD 44 in a red turnout gear bag. May also have the name Nelson in the gear along with his accountability tags that read "M. Nelson 5753." Any info or sightings please pm me, contact the King County Sheriff, Algona, wa police or Mountain View Fire- King County Fire District 44.


If I can get more specifics, I'll update this post. Thanks.

Anyone know how to get ahold of this guy? I started a thread looking into doing an LAPD build. Want to get the serial number incase I run across it while I am shopping for supplies on my build.
