MessageWhen I was at the Tour of El Salvador, the organizer held passports as hostage for the timing transponders. Perhaps some type of collateral is in order to ensure return of equipment such as radios.

Subject: RE: [OBRA Chat] NWCYCLING: Missing Cascade Classic Equipment
It is extremely critical that we get these back as they are in short supply. The car mount FRS/GMRS radios are no longer being manufactured. Although OBRA will charge the race organizer for the lost radios this will not help replace them since there are none to buy. As the number of car mount radios decreases we will be forced to use handheld radios in the cars and they do not transmit as well.
For some reason it appears that there are some people, particularly at larger races, who act as though radios and other OBRA equipment are disposable, available for them to take or are somehow cost free. This is distinctly NOT the case. If you have the radios that Brad asked about or any other OBRA equipment make sure that you see that it gets returned ASAP. The race organizer, who will save money by not getting charged for the lost equipment, will be very appreciative. The organizer of the next event that will need the equipment, which is generally only a day or 2 later, will also be appreciative.

Hello,
We are missing a couple of OBRA's car-mount Motorola radios that were loaned out to team directors prior to the first stage of the CCC. If you still have one or know someone who does please contact me asap.
