+mousekakat Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi... I don't post in this forum often, but here goes nothing! A friend of mine had their car broken into yesterday and their GPS'r and their child's GPS'r stolen, amongst other caching articles like more than 100 coins. This friend is in the US, I'm in Europe. My friend is already in a tough position financially, so this was not a good thing, especially so close to the holidays. What I was wondering, is if anyone here has an extra unit that would do for them to use so they could continue caching? I don't have any money to buy them one, we're teetering on the edge financially, too, otherwise I'd offer to buy one here and send it to them, so I thought I'd put out an appeal and see if anyone was feeling a little generous and wanted to perform a random kindness for this person! I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but this seemed as good a forum to ask as any! My email is in my profile, please contact me if you can help! Thanks, Naomi Link to comment
+maldar Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 That is awful. While I don't have the money and while I have extra units I have plans for them as use in teaching geocaching to others. What I can do is list one of my DeamCatcher Coin Sets on Ebay. I will post here when I do such. As for anyone being offended, though ........... to them! Those offened should just sit on their hands.

+maldar Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Actually, let's start it here. I have 1 complete set of the 4 Dream Catcher coins (Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire). What is your bid? GPSrs and Money with be acceptable and will be taking offers until 6pm EST. Transaction of goods will go through me. Terms are You send me GPSr, once I recieve that, I send you your coins. I have the choice to keep the GPSr in question and send one of my etrex Legends if said GPSr is of higher value. I would like to come out with a little something as I was going to sell these on ebay for a profit I hope. If we need to move this to a different forum then let the mods decide.

+mousekakat Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 That is so generous, Maldar, not to mention a beautiful set that you've got up to offer! Thank you for helping! Naomi Link to comment
+pigpen4x4 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) Did they lose their PDA as well? (assuming the used one) If so, I have a M500 they can have. PP Edited November 8, 2007 by pigpen4x4 Link to comment
+mousekakat Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Did they lose their PDA as well? (assuming the used one) If so, I have a M500 they can have. PP Yes, it was all in his caching bag... Really makes me want to rethink keeping mine in our car. It's only got swag and a compass in it, but all the same, it really stinks. Just hope that what comes around really does go around for the thief... and for the cacher, too, because he's a danged nice person! Naomi Link to comment
+maldar Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Well, since no one posted an offer I will be placing these on ebay and use the money to purchase a GPSr for them. It will be posted sometime over the weekend and I will post back here with the link and in the GeoCoin forums. Link to comment
+Flo. Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I dont have anything to offer, wish I could help your friends, but I wanted to tell you what you are doing is a wonderful thing. I will also start bringing in my swag bag from the car. It only has trade items in it but still, I don't want anyone getting to it. I wish you the best of luck and the person who is selling coins for a new gps, I hope you get it back 10 fold in happiness and health. Link to comment

Keystone Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 We allowed some latitude with the rules originally, but now Maldar has turned this thread into a coin sale thread. Please do that over in the Geocoin Discussions Forum. Thanks. Link to comment
