NEW NEW NEWEST UPDATE
Jack had recovered his trailer in the worst condition it could be found in. He finally got a hold of insurance and talked with them about things. It turns out, after making a whole list of all parts, guns, and gear, he lost around $23,000 (retail). He will be lucky to see around 15,000$ out of it. He is looking to slowly get back into paintball. Thank you all for your support and donations. I can't tell you how much it has meant to him, his family, and TPS Paintball.
Our tech's trailer was stolen *Two thieves driving a 1990’s white
Chevy pickup with a utility bed stole a Wells Cargo trailer Washington License number 542-7NZ. Grey / Charcoal in color and horse decals on the front of the trailer*, along with $10-15k worth of paintball equipment from
our hotel (Cedar Inn) early sunday morning. It sucks because Jack Cissner is a really good guy, comes down to the Sweet 7 event for us, and ends up loosing everything he has. Not to mention that he helps tech everyone's equipment at events, and never charges them anything. And now some of our players are left with nothing but a mask and pants.

I just ask that everyone keep a lookout at thier feilds, stores, pawnshops, ebay, craigslist, electronic markers sections, or anything where these low-lifes would want to sell this stuff. We are not sure if they knew what was in the trailer because just the trailer itself was worth around $7500+. But for somebody to steal a trailer at 8-9am in the morning, while people are up and around, is very unusual. We suspect that perhaps somebody from another hotel saw our stuff at the tournement and took it when we left to ref the smokin guns tourny the next morning. We have video from the Hotels security camera's seeing a white work truck with a small logo on the side of it, which may be traceable. But from what I heard is that the video is very low quality that we may not be able to make out license plate or the company logo on it.
There will be a
GREAT reward to those who can lead us with information to find these guys and get our stuff back. Battleground is offering a 500$ reward, as well as our factory team/store will come up with a reward as well.
