Maybe, but I guarantee its found its way into someones collection. With almost 600 people at the Op theres always a handful that are scumbags. Granted, I had a VTG "stolen" two years ago and it actually did get returned to me, so Im still hopeful...
I’ll be honest with that many at a site I’d leave my walkable valuable kit at home , suppose all you can do is just keep an eye open Incase you see one in use at a future game and try and find a way to check the serial number ?
few yrs ago a mate had his ‘accidentally’ end up in someone else’s kit so we all kept an eye open and one of the lads spotted a purple TRMR few mths later , checked the serial number and low and behold he got his one back .
Fun times. Im still baffled how it happened - I drop it around a corner, goes off, and Im hit as I pull back. enemy breaches my room, and after they clear onto the next I turn into their old room to pick it up and its gone. Spent 30 min wandering the area trying to find it. No dice. This was early Sat morning and by Sunday afternoon it had not been turned in. Ive got keyword flags up on the popular secondhand sale sites to keep an eye out for me, so we will see.
Yea all my reusables have indication marks on them that just my self and my team mates know about and can identify them by(same with there’s) Sad you have too but that’s life ?
