Sorry to hear that bro. Thieves are cowards and deserve to be hung by the short hairs. I hope you get your stuff back.

Shoot first, ask questions later. That sucks Bro.

Well I only have liability insurance on the boat but perhaps my homeowner's policy will cover it...and then there's that $1,000 deductible. It will find out on Monday. Again thanks for the moral support. On a good note, the motor and all the switches are working.

BuilderFl:

I have 25 Aquasport center console that I face mounted a color GPS in. I thought by using bolts with security heads I might slow down someone who might want it. Looking how they took yours apart I guess I might be wrong? Sorry for your loss.

Kami,

Same here and did we have a hard time flush mounting that Furuno - The access from the back of the console was almost impossible. It never occurred to me that a thieve with a cordless Dremel and cut-off wheel could cut out the entire console and get away with it. We know better now.

Macojoe,

I have close to no hope that I will ever see my equipment again. Was talking to a cop friend of mine and he's telling me that they are so stretched out with big crime, that unless the equipment if found as a result of another crime investigation, it's on e-bay tomorrow. They can steal my equipment, but like you, they are definitely not going to take my spirit. Today I installed the DC connection for my old reliable Garmin 12 XL GPS and I re commissioned my retired Raytheon L265 fishfinder. Will see later how I go about getting the V shipshape, but for now - whatever gets me back the quickest. Thanks!

Fl, I hate that happened to you.

If you have the serial numbers to the equipment, report it to the cops anyway, they will put it in the system so if they show up at a pawn shop or like they said, they are found in another crime, you will get em back.

Randle, good idea - will do it. You know, PSA (Public Service Aide) that came by to make the report never asked for serial numbers. Thanks!

The cops should have asked for serial numbers, for NCIC entry. :-/

Hammer, it wasn't a real cop- it was a PSA. Are they using the same system?
