It is a total loss but I don't look at it that way... the equipment gave me
years of dependable service and enjoyment. Now I can replace it with new
equipment that will give me years more of service and enjoyment.

- Bruce,
Sorry to hear about the bad luck ....this world is changing and not for the better in some cases. When we camped we always left our campsite set up...sometimes for days and have never had a problem but now I will have to think about it hard when I leave that stuff just lying around :(....Did the campground people make good on your stuff? or is it a total loss?
