New user 65 |  Subject: 2012 Ironman Louisville Backpack Yesterday at a local lake where area triathletes swim one of my training buddies truck was stolen while we were swimming. Apparently someone was watching when he put his keys in his shoe down by the entrance steps approx 75 yards from the parking lot. Whoever, must have gotten the keys and drove off while we were swimming. Sucks. Anyway, his laptop,iPhone ipad, wallet, college ring and 2012 Ironman Louisville backpack was in the truck. They are all gone and probably will never see them again. I am reaching out to try to locate one of these backpacks from IM LOU 2012 to buy from someone, pay for shipping, whatever. Is there anyone out there? He did Lou in 2010 and had real cramp probs from mile 70-112. He struggled to finish it, then struggled to finish the run and did. We went back in 2012 and he redeemed himself with a strong finish. He was very attached to that backpack. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks |

Member 1083 | Subject: RE: 2012 Ironman Louisville Backpack That stinks! I don't have one for you but I hope you find one. I have another friend who had a finisher shirt stolen from his car a while back and it is a tough loss to take because it is such a hard thing to replace. |

New user 1351 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: 2012 Ironman Louisville Backpack Don't give up hope of getting it back though. Since a backpack is of little value to a thief, it may still be in the truck if it's recovered. I'm speaking from experience on this one, since I had the unfortunate experience of also being robbed while I was swimming. It wasn't my car, but someone saw me hide my backpack under the foundation of a building in san francisco while I was swimming in the bay. Long story short, I got out of the water, and my bag, with my wallet, phone, and CLOTHES were gone, and I had a fun time getting home with nothing but my wetsuit on my back. A few days later some woman called me on my new phone and said she found a backpack in the bushes by her office with my name on it. Turns out, the thief just ran off with the bag, found a place to rummage through it, and once he found my wallet he just took that and left everything else. So while it was a pain to get a new license and credit cards, at least my sentimental things were still in there. I really hope he gets his truck and everything back. That is such a scummy move. I really can't believe people would do such a thing |

Pro 5169 Burbs | Subject: RE: 2012 Ironman Louisville Backpack That sucks If your friend hasn't done so already, make sure he files a police report. Our PD office routinely runs pawn hits to check for stolen items... laptops, iPads, jewelry, etc. could likely be pawned (sorry about the backpack - that was probably trashed |

Thanks I don't have an IMLou backpack but I have an IMWI backpack from the same year, 2 weeks after that I can give to you. |

| New user 65 | Subject: RE: 2012 Ironman Louisville Backpack Update Truck recovered this afternoon abandoned in a parking lot. Wallet,60$ cash,laptop,and IPhone 5 still in the truck. Ipad,college ring other items and the Ironman Louisville backpack gone. Probably kids that have not yet graduated to being real car thieves yet. Someone on another triathlon site stepped up and has already sent one to me. Thank you for the thoughts and the offer for the IM Wisconsin backpack. |
