Stolen Rod #@*&!

Yep I just put a rod holder on my truck 2 weeks ago. Much easier then putting the 9' rod in the truck.
Well I stopped at the 7-11 on Cranberry HWy Wareham for gas at 9 pm went in the store to pre pay and bam the rod GONE, not 5min!
Not to accuse anyone but there was a green pick-up at the pumps when I went in and gone when I came out??
Nothing special, a 9' graphpite Daiwa rod, with a brand new 6500 SSV my son just got for me for my B-Day!! My B Day isn't even here till the end of the month! I feel real bad about it and have to tell my son today, he thought he was doing good for me this year as I have no boat anymore and this is the only way for me to fish now.
O well I am having a port put in my arm next week, so I can start Dialysis in Aug. so maybe this is a good thing cause I won't be out getting in trouble.

I seriously think petty theft ought to be punishable by shooting, it would make me feel better anyway

On the P.D we call them two leggers MJ. Scum, upright walking animals.
They are everywhere nowadays.

I just told my son his $200 B-Day gift was great!! But I never got to use it! Not even once!! He said I know you have no boat and stuff so I got it for you to have some fun, he said he does not have the cash to replace it right now but will save some and try to get another. I told him not to worry about it, not sure how much I be going out any way, but thanked him for a great gift and offer to replace!! But he is living alone at the old house and has to pay bills and he took over my truck payments also. So he is not exactly rolling in $$$
When he is a good kid he is great!! and I love him to death, but when he has the rag on I want to disown him!! He was here today putting all 32 windows from my 3 season room away for the summer for me. I got them all out and YEARS of dirt washed off them in the past few weeks.

sorry mj, probably not much would happen, but does the store have cameras on the pumps? lots have them to prosecute drive offs. i've had friends in miami who had them stolen out of rod holders on their boats while sitting at red lights. kids come by on ten speed bikes, snatch & grab.

That was also suggested on a local site I go to here, I called the store and they said they can't do nothing till the manger comes back on monday, but the tapes are most likly a loop and will be taped over by then. I am calling the Cops to see if they will go and look for me sooner?

So Sorry MJ that sucks , there are some real skum bags out there. hope it works out for you , but with all the lawyers out there if they get caught they will be let go with a slap on wrist , I have a few extra reels laying around let me know if I can send one to you ,

Thanks everyone!! They will get there's!! As far as them getting caught this time, I really don't care, just like to get my stuff back! The reel meant a lot as my son works his A$$ off as a Landscaper by day and a Bouncer by night. works 7 days a week! and it was a great gift as, I have been wanting one!!
