Robbed

[Ripper]

I went out to my boat yesterday afternoon to hook up for a quick trip on the Snohomish and noticed that 3 fishing rods were missing. I have lived at this house for almost 5 years and have never had anything stolen or messed with. We have even gone to bed without closing the garage door a couple of times and haven't had anything messed with. I guess I got a little too comfortable and complacent. Must have been some kids doing a grab and go because they didn't go in the boat or try to take anything electronic. They just grabbed the 3 rods and reels out of the rocket launchers. Luckily they were older but still, they were mine and now I have to replace them. God forbid I ever catch someone on my property steeling my stuff!  To ad insult to injury I hit my new 120 quart cooler as I was backing in and broke the lid off! GRRRRR! I hit a submerged log the last time out on the river, no obvious damage done. Maybe I should just park the boat for a while and try to turn this bad karma around. Maybe I should go to church or something, but I'm afraid I'd burst into flames as I pass through the door! Thanks for listening, I'll leave a $100 on the desk by the door.

Sucks I know. My place has been great too. Think when I get home Ill take the 4 Scotty 1106's off the boat and put em back in the garage,

My cousin had his 20' sled stolen from his driveway in Bonney lake a couple years ago, had a sweet Yamaha jet out board on it. I miss that boat, probably got cut up for scrap.

That sure stinks..  Sorry to hear

[ICEMAN]

Ripper, be sure to report it. Locally, it will get documented and maybe an increase in focus for LE, nationally, no more lies about how our society is so much better now since Obama in office...

That sucks man. Just yesterday my daughter was walking with a young friend (10years old). A green mazda pulled up, driver got out and pushed the little girl down and stole her Iphone.

Sorry to hear

We may live in 'Mayberry' USA, but I keep tellin my boys to lock their trucks when parked in the driveway. We've been so so lucky over the years here but all it takes is once to remind us that there are dirtbags in the world.

It don't make any difference if they were old rods, or brand new ones, they were yours  I would be willing to bet that it was some young kids, seeing that non of the electronics were messed with. We need to get back to the old days when kids were taught respect for others property.

ALL THE TWEAKERS LOVE HUMPY SEASON THEY ARE OUT WATCHING FOR THE FISHERMAN TO LAUNCH THERE BOATS TO BRAKE IN YOUR RIGS. IT HAPPENS EVEN MORE DURRING THE HUMPY SEASON. So all of use should watch out for each other. If you see some people off loading into another rig early morning. I might just Q it and also report all brake in's. Even if they didn't take anything. It helps to get the Police to patrol more often. Maybe they will put cameras up in the parking lot some day. They have been hitting rigs as you leave early in the morning. I stopped launching at Langus boat ramp. If I do use the ramp I wait until 9:00 am when the rangers start.

 Well if it makes you feel any better, you ain't the only one who goes through a stretch like that. I have a feeling you'll upgrade just a tad on the rods and have them slimy in no time!
