A huge amount of gear was recently stolen from Northwest Outdoor Center (on Lake Union, run by nice guys Herbie and John Meyer):  23 Werner sea Kayak paddles and 10 Kokatat drysuits.  Apparently police think the gear may be headed to other parts of the country so please keep an eye out on Craigslist, etc.  I don't have a boatertalk account but if anyone does and would post something about this on there that would be great.  Anyone with information please call John Meyer at 206-281-9694.

It's all fun and games until someone loses a paddle.

I have a boater talk account. I'll put something on there. Was it a break in? Sounds like they knew what was easy to sell and would bring the $. I hope they catch them.

Thanks Adam, that would be awesome.  Yes it  was a break-in, after the July 4th fireworks I guess.  Herbie said the suits (12 actually) were 3 cobalt and 4 mango Gortex, and 5 blue Tropos, all men's except for one - plus the 23 paddles.  Thanks again!
