I found this gear on a server during the night time (in game) so there were about 3-4 players on the server at the time. I left Zelenogorsk and started heading north. As I was running, I wasn't paying full attention to the game since I was planning on running a long distance, but when I looked back at the game in about 3 minutes, all of my gear was gone. My player wasn't getting stuck on anything that would have let another player walk up to me and just take it.
I was playing on the following server: DayZ 1-17 (Public/Veteran) 114008 Multiplay :: 3PP:ON :: aggoverlord
IP Address: 207.198.118.238:2402
I ran back to look for it but eventually just gave up because I knew the odds of finding my gear were very slim to none.
