I can only assume my gear was lost when the game crashed. I took off gear and placed it into the stash. The game crashed shortly after and all the gear that I had placed in was lost. The gear I took out and equipped was fine. I would say the time between putting the gear in stash and the crash was approx 5 minutes. Bummer that it was my main set of gear as I was trying out an alt build. I lost 3 rings, mace, and a shield. One of the rings that was lost was actually in my inventory but not equipped on my character. All other items was in the stash. I was recording game play at the time so I can go back and look at time stamps if need to pin down the issue.
