Stolen Rod #@*&!

[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

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??

i bet if somebody had jacked $200 worth of gas, they'd be a little more interested.

Sorry to hear that - I just don't understand taking other people's property.

I just had a cover stolen off one rear trailer light - at ramp off the Delaware River.
Only way to get it off is to unscrew it. For all I know, If I hadn't returned back after just a quick test ride - they would have stolen the entire light assembly.

And there were people milling around before and after I launched..............

Ouch.. I know exactly how you feel MJ. Same thing happened to me in front of my mothers house. Small, well kept development in an upscale part of town. I had just come from a night of surf fishing, parked there with my rods in the beach buggy holders. Came out an hour later and 4 rods and reels were gone. Two 13 foot sticks an 11 and an 8. What made it even worse was a neighbor saw some kids walking with them.. but wouldn't tell me their names.. just in case I wanted to kill them ( I did). He died of pancriatic cancer 4 months later so I never found out who the kids were. But I know exactly how you feel. Violated, mad, upset, sad, etc...all rolled into one. The best I can tell you is to think of it as a learning experience... never leave something you don't want taken anywhere where it can be taken, because you can bet it will be. Truly sorry for your loss.
