Gear Trashed By Cops

Antelope Bob · Apr 26, 2015

So this just happened. Sleeping soundly in my tent and I hear a commotion. I peek out and see a couple guys running by with cops on their ass. I think they got away but the cops came back to my spot and trashed everything, shredded my tent and tarps and took what they thought had value. Only thing I have left is some clothes. Time to rebuild again I guess.

Update: walking into the city and got picked up by a nice old couple. they asked me a few questions so I told them what happened. Lo and behold, they used to do a lot of backpacking, needless to say i got almost a full kit, old but great shape, got a few spares for anyone i run into that might need so all in all not a bad experience but not one of the best.

it's nice to hear some stories of people being good folk. all cops should be shot in the face though.

I know they were just upset by not getting the guys they were after. I take it in stride and go on.

Everyone seems to get fucked with by cops? Idk the only time I have real issues is when I am blatantly doing something wrong. Maybe I'm just good at hiding and avoiding them? That sucks tho, sorry to here it. Only thing I had taken was a shitty harbor freight fixed blade that I wasn't too upset about loosing. Wanabe gangsta thugs is who I always ger fucked with by.

This is one reason I make sure to sleep away from prying eyes, not visible from roads/trails.

Was that necessary - sheesh - glad you happened to meet up with that nice couple!

I usually tried to make a place where fleeing tweekers didn't drag cops past my spot.

Sorry about your misfortune.

Hoooray for some nice people on the kickdown!

depends on the state iirc. i know in virginia they will deffinetly fine you. my partner got a dui last year so it was a big issue to get it done legit before time was up for the inspection because getting pulled over and not having a license would mean her going right back to jail,

Glad you had a good end to a shitty night.

Deleted member 2626 · Apr 29, 2015

thanks herps'. I'm sure being it will be on my license that if I get pulled over they'll nail me. I'm looking into paying it.
