+1.. It sounds to convient that he just so happened to be out of town when he got hit...He should definetly check his "own back yard"..has he got teenage kids?? be defintetly checkin there shady friends 1st, if not then his. doesn't matter how upstandin any of us are, we always got that 1 or 2 buds we wouldn't let hold a 50 for us. Really sucks man, please try and get some pics of that stuff and the location of the etchin's. If it was my stuff and I caught him it would probably end up somethin like this..

Team Blackwater North will be on the look out!!!

Anything pops up on JOC, I will let you know Wildcard.

he is divorced with no kids, our team been together since the mid 80's, his own back yard is always clean, we have no players under 30.

the laser engraving are visible either on the body of the AEG, GBB slide or on the magazine bottom.

Thanks Beazer

Aw man, this isn't something I want to hear about, all my gear is unattended at my student house right now. That's shitty luck, I don't know what anyone would do with all that gear aside from sell it, so unless said person sold it to completely clueless people some of it should surface, no?

This bites the big one, that's a huge and expensive collection. I'll keep my eye out on Craigslist, Kijiji, and any attempts at listing on ebay, as I do anyway. They gotta end up online eventually, just too many for local sales IMO.

Any other significant items taken (non airsoft) that could help recognize the thieves?

they took his 17"apple power book, 2x 46"Sharp aquos LCD, PS3, Games Xbox360 and Games, part of his surround system etc.

The Police also said that there was a number of break ins in his area too, the neighbors in majority of his street are also gone for the holidays

Sure hope he has insurance...

Sounds like a terrible area. Should have an alarm or something... though I'm sure if someone wanted something inside, they'd eventually get it.

This sucks.

he got insurance but he is not sure whether the airsoft will be covered as some of them were purchased long time ago

ouch

thats like at least 5000 dollars of stolen goods there

Add a zero...

or two... that's gotta sting.

The first two guns alone...

Holy shit , that was a collection to reacon with !!! thats real shit your bud got robbed, i'll keep my eyes open in ottawa, best of luck retreiveing it back

Ouch!!
 

I'll keep my eyes open around here...never know...my condolences man.
