No need to start redundant thread after thread about your dropped aliens or bailed on draws. Just post the what, when and where in here and we will have one resource to facilitate the location and recovery of your lost gear.
Thank you for contributing to my rack the neat and organized structure of this forum.

This is a great service.
I know there's a pink tricam stuck in the Gunks. Does that help?

Shall we attempt to sticky this and see how it goes? This reminds me of the time I scored a BD #1, #2, pink tricam, 2 slings and a biner for each piece only to see the owner posting in East Coast the very next day. He got all his gear back, but I sure was excited for just one minute!

This thread could really help with that problem. If all lost gear posts are contained in one thread, all you have to do is not read this thread and you can plunder booty guilt free.
And those without a conscience can use this thread treasure map to great advantage.
Everybody wins!

And for my part, I happen to know that there was a #3 Peenut abandoned at Seneca Rocks on Dufty's Popoff around 5 months ago.
Thats the most recent I've got but if it's still there, it's all yours.

Further hint - it's on the second pitch.

When I leave gear, I remove my tape so nobody knows it was me who left it. I don't advertise my lameness on the Interwebz. I intend to read this thread, keep my booty and poke fun at every lazy, lame or irresponsible tool who wants his or her gear back.

There are a couple of forged friends *really* deep in a horizontal near the top of some blocky 5.6-ish joint about a half mile from the parking lot at Lost Wall, near Chattanooga. I didn't leave 'em, but I couldn't get 'em out, either.

That's almost as good as a recent erockonline thread where some one left a single leaver biner on a 5.12 at Reimer's and then went on a tirade when it wasn't still there three days later.

There are abou 10 cams way deep in Epinephrine if any one is stupid/skinny enough to try to get to them....I know I climbed right by then and felt sorry for whoever was scared enough to get that deep and place a #3!

Booty! If we end up on the backside today, I'll take a look at it and let you know. Probably won't stay in that crack for long.

Sorry for the poor wording in my post, but it's not mine, just saw it there while climbing by.
I've edited my post for the correction.

That's the best thread ever. My hat's off to Spirited, whoever he or she may be!
As for the changing ethics of climbing... I think if you were around just a scant 20 years ago, you know that gear left behind was booty, no questions asked. It's the expectation of getting gear back, or even lamer, of leaving it and expecting it to still be there weeks later, that is indicative of ever-growing gumby-ism.
I'll make a grudging exception for project draws (read: a line of draws up a route, NOT two draws at an anchor).

You grudgingly make an exception for 'project draws' while at the same time speak of the lameness of bail gear...Seriously?
Is it more lame for someone to leave their gear to escape storm, dark, or injury or leave gear on a route because you're too lazy to hang draws the next time you're getting on the route.
Let me anticipate the argument of the difficulty in cleaning draws from overhanging climbs...What if I was projecting a difficult route at say The Tilted World of Shortoff or something on Hawksbill...would it therefore be reasonable to leave 'project gear' on the route while I worked it?

Personally, I stopped collecting booty a few years ago. I do have a few booty pieces on my rack from years ago, and they have been good pieces to own, but now I leave it or let my partner take it.
I do the same with money on the ground; I always figure someone else out there could use it more than me.
