I have to say that theft is the lowest form of humanity. To steal something that someone worked hard for is bullshit. If you can't afford it most likely you are not working hard enough and therefore don't deserve to have it. As for as bringing your gear to the gym, I guess you have learned your lesson and I will not flame you. It sucks, but all you have to do is look out for some skinny little fucker that all of a sudden puts on some weight and then beat his ass. That will make you feel better.
