My machine was stolen

Post by LARS929 » Mon Dec 11, 2017 8:36 pm

If this isn't allowed, let me know and I'll delete it. Anyways, I went for a weekend trip with my wife. I brought along my CPAP machine. We unloaded the car and brought a load to the room and left my CPAP machine by accident. When we went back about an hour later, it was gone. Reported it to the garage security, who basically said they can't do anything, they have signs posted saying don't leave things in your car. I'm pretty bummed right now.

The good news is, I have my backup machine still, but no supplies. I just have the machine. I'm posting wondering if anyone has any extra parts that they'd be open to giving away. I can pay shipping. I have a resmed s9. Specifically I'm wondering if anyone has a spare hose (mine was heated but I'm open for anything), a mask (Phillips dream wear), a short hose, and even a carry case.

Anything helps!

Don't have one, but what size mask did you need?

Bummer story though!

Size medium mask is what I believe it was. I have pillows too, so just need the mask.

I think I have a spare S9 heated hose...I need to check to make sure and see if it is still good and I have a spare travel bag for the S9 that you can have.

Not sure about the DreamWear mask but let me check on that also. Give me a little bit and I will get back to everyone and you.
I gotta go dig out the cpap stash box.

LOTS of truckers use CPAPs and they need supplies while they are on the road.

I have these items.

Heated hose for the S9...it doesn't leak and worked the last time I used it earlier this summer.
I can include a non heated slimline generic hose...I want it gone.
I have a travel bag for the S9.
I have the DreamWear...frame size medium and the back strap and on large gel pillow and 2 cushions...1 medium and 1 MW.

What I don't seem to have is a short hose of any kind.

Send me a private message with name and address and where to send and how you want to send it...I normally do the USPS 3day Priority mail but if you want it faster and want to pay for it I will do whatever you wish. I do have PayPal for reimbursement. You don't have to pay ahead though. I will trust you.

Let me know before 8 AM tomorrow if you want it to go out tomorrow AM....tomorrow I have to take my mom for her chemo so I need to be leaving town by 9:15 AM if I am to get the package to post office or whatever....small town...choices are USPS or brown UPS truck it needs to be done before 9:15 AM.

I know it doesn't cover much, but our Homeowners Insurance covers theft of DME. Maybe your auto insurance will cover it also.

Around here at least, auto insurance only covers the *auto*... not contents.

However, strangely, homeowners insurance sometimes covers stuff lost in auto breakins.

I checked at two of the truck stops that I frequently stop at when traveling from Seattle to Portland. I didn't see ANY cpap supplies. I was really hoping to find cpap supplies.

When you say short hose, what size are you talking about? What length?
