Staring my new business first of next week and the wife is out of town, neighbors boats got a full tank AND in the water = time to go fish..... Rig the rod's , go catch bait and I'm ready,
sorta-
Walk out on the front porch for my normal load the boat deal at dawn, all the rod's are gone (NEVER- in 42yrs of on and off living at this house does ANYTHING get stolen). Needless to say I'm pissed and write my tackle off as LONG GONE.
Get to talking with the neighbor that afternoon and come to find out his Land Rover was also broken into and they steal his front speakers. He files a report and the police show up, so I figure I will file a report to(in case they show at a pawn shop-3 combo's worth about 400.00 total)
Low and behold as the officer is taking my report, he gets a call about a stolen auto recovery with the perp. and he has the neighbors speakers. My tackle was not along for the ride , BUT, he had a pocket full of pawn tickets on him-including the receipt for my stuff. Just waiting on the return of it now- I hope.....
POINT BEING-
In these tough times- no matter how safe you THINK your neighborhood is- TAKE NOTHING for granted, it could have been a lot more than just a few fishing rod's .
Btw , he's up for Grand theft alone on my stuff- Pay's to have good equiptment
Keep an eye on your stuff, there are going to be PLENTY of more desperate people out there.....
Just my .02
