Well, normally i would post a picture along with this blog...maybe of our empty truck save a few jackets and a headlamp. Or of the front seat with just our catalog case. Or a picture of Brian looking forlorn with his pockets hanging out...but i can't. We were robbed on Thursday night while in Duluth, MN and the worst part is, we were there for a dZi foundation fundraiser.
Brian was showing his slide show of Pakistan (on a computer that is gone, along with all his stuff from his trip) as a fundraiser for the dZi foundation. It was going VERY well. The slideshow was amazing, funny and entertaining. We raised $212.50! With the matched donation from Marmot, that was going to be $425 to the cause, and it was our first one! We packed up, went to dinner and when we came back everything was gone. Money, computers, clothes, gear, swag, our vitamins (i know, what?), ipods, phones, all of it.
Many things can be replaced, but we are sorely missing our computers with all of our work and pictures on them. Especially Brian, who did not have back-ups from Pakistan. So, if anyone sees a guy walking around Duluth, MN wearing a yellow Exum jacket...knock him over!
