Feeding cats to coyotes

 While running Street Chess is probably my biggest chess passion, and can be trying at times. Once again we have been hit with an equipment theft, this time being 20 clocks and 20 bags of pieces. It appears that the area we stroed them in wasn't as secure as we had hoped, and someone might have just walked in a taken them (they left the boards and another bag, so it was probably a grab and run). Luckily I had a reserve of equipment handy, but I will need to replace them over the next week or two.

This is the third time in the past 10 years that I have lost equipment ( another set of clocks and a laptop previously), so whoever is taking them is probably pretty close to setting up their own set of chess events in the region.
