Spare Some Dough For Chris Rhee

Written by Mike Rundle on April 23, 2006

Hey everybody, got some pretty crappy news. Our friend and 9rules member Chris Rhee had $5,000 worth of equipment stolen from his car last week while shooting in San Francisco for his new stop tape collaborative venture.

He’s trying to fundraise the dough community-style, and your contribution will help get back things like a 15″ PowerBook, Canon S400 camera, 200GB external hard drive, and a lot more.

Please stop by the fundraising part of his site and donate what you can. If we can get 1000 people to donate just $5 each, we can make it back for him in a hurry. Thanks everyone.

  1. Chris Gwynne Says:

    Probably should have locked the car, no?

    Good luck with your fund raising.

  2. Derek Punsalan Says:

    Every dollar probably counts so I’ve chipped in a bit. 1000 people to do the minimum doesn’t sound like too hard a challenge.

  3. Michael Says:

    Donations are usually tough for cardless kids like me, but now you too can help! Checks and money can be sent to.

  6. Joe Says:

    No offense, but.. why would we donate to give you cool equipment?

    Why don’t you donate to give me cool equipment?

    Besides, that shit should be covered under your car insurance.

    Thanks a lot for this post, Mike (and others who have helped spread the word). The fund raiser is off to a pretty good start, thanks to the 9rules gang.

    *Chris Gwynne:* I haven’t posted my version of what happened on the site, yet, but to answer your question: the car battery for my friend’s car died. So when he pressed the door lock button, the doors didn’t actually lock. It was my 2nd time in that car so I didn’t even think to double check.

    Support for 9ruler Chris Rhee

    9rules is more than a “Blog Network,” it is a real community. There is a lot of good, authentic support to be had from all the good people who are 9rules. When one of us need a hand, more than a few are immediately extended. 9rules is good,…

    Joe:
    It’s not covered under his insurance. Anything stolen from a car must be permanently attached to the cart to be covered under insurance… a part of the car. Chris is screwed. You don’t have to help him… others will because they’re nice and feel bad for him.

  12. Chris Coleman Says:

    This is harsh. Crap Filter sends $10 worth of a new MacBook Pro over to Rhee. We’d have it no other way.

  13. Paul Stamatiou Says:

    Hehe, yeah no need to replace a Powerbook with a powerbook. =D Macbook to the rescue.

  15. Matthew Oliphant Says:

    Chris, you don’t happen to have renters or homeowners insurance do you? Then your stuff would be covered no matter (usually) whose car your stuff is in.

  16. Chris Gwynne Says:

    I doubt they’d pay out would they?

    The car was left unlocked for x amount of time.

  17. Bryan Culver Says:

    I hope he gets his stuff back or gets enough donations to buy new ones. I hope my donation helped.
