Stolen Rod #@*&!

phatdaddy 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 ,

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

That really SUCKS! I hope the police can turn up something on the store tapes for you. My Dad always told me " Give them enough rope and they'll hang their self ", but sometimes it takes a hell of alot of rope. I believe in Karma, hopefully they'll get theirs someday! Good Luck on recovering your rod and reel!

Thanks guys!! I just got home from talking with the store, they took my name and number and a description of what happened, they are going to look at the tapes and let me know if they find anything?? I am not to hopeful after talking to them??
