Stolen Rod #@*&!

[macojoe]

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?

rel the rod was mine for years but almost never used!! The real was brand new! Never used onced! And I was really wanting one of them!

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 ,

[macojoe]

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!!

Man I hate that for you bro.....

I learned my lesson the hard way as well unfortunately. My buddies give me a hard time for throwing everything inside the truck before we go into the store but it just isnt worth taking the chance. I cant afford to replace it nor do I feel like chasing some POS down in 90+ heat.....

Karma is a SOB, he'll get his.....In the meantime just try to convince yourself he stole it to catch fish to feed his family. Thats the only way I got over mine......essentially lying to myself, haha
