Sorry about your truck.  It has been bad everywhere in Yakima and Kittitas this year.  Non-stop theft and vandalism.

Any problems at the LT Murray above Selah? Going to Yakima and was thinking about looking for a pheasant there but I noticed gang tags out there last year ( Dodger blue )

My truck got busted into last month at the langus riverfront park boat launch in everett, they stole my light bar off of my truck as well, surprised when I got back I still had a trailer, haha. Wish i would’ve pulled back in while they were there....

In the minot unit i had hiked in 3 miles behind a gated road.. dropped my pack off in a turn off. Got pack stolen with a bunch of gear in it.. when i played ball in Yakima, apartment got busted into roomates guns stolen, ps3, couple other electronics. This year my brand new side by side.. year after year another thing. Hopefully i catch the next thief. The whole yakima area is another story.

We all say we want to catch them in the act but I honestly don’t. Like I’ve said on here before I’m gonna be so infuriated I guarantee I’m flat out killing that piece of crap the first twitch he makes and probably spending 6+ years in jail for defending my own property. But yes I would like to catch one and have them follow all of my orders while I have them at gunpoint. Sure would be nice if the police would do maybe even more than just give them a ticket and send them on his way to break into the next one. There really is no punishment so they’re just gonna keep doing it. Just like your dog crapping in the house if you don’t shove his nose in it. We need to start a petition to start chopping hands off again. Yeah I believe everyone deserves a second chance that’s why they have two hands

Yakima is an All American City, twice and has a sister city in Mexico.

  :yeah: yakima is definitely a dive but let's not act like this stuff doesn't happen a lot more often than other places. If anything it seems a lot more common on the west side of the state. Don't leave stuff in your car and it won't get stolen. Hell I don't even have change in the ash tray.  Lived in Yakima my entire life, and knock on wood my rigs have never been messed with, even down in the valley. With that said, I won't hunt down in the lower valley anymore for this exact reason. Too many dirt bags.

The west side is just as bad.  My buddy thought he had everything figured out where he left NOTHING in his truck and left the doors unlocked.  Someone took his jack and floor mats.

According to state statistics, Yakima property crime rate is 50.32% higher than the State average. Most car prowls and minor property crimes aren't even reported as you have to go to the police dept or online to even report.

According to the insurance adjuster who handled my break-in, Yakima County is the worst by far for claims.

I had a holes steal my bologna sandwich and a chocolate milk out of my cooler in the bed of the truck
And a *censored* in an ugly Seahawks aqua colored Ford with matching canopy bust in my wing window steal my pack over near Chimacum
Good thing I didn't get to the truck before he got away
But I still watch for him

I had a guy steal a 15 year old MRE from under my seat once.  He also ate one of my wife's Fiber One bars, I think we got the last laugh on that one my friend.  Fairly sure it was a homeless person, didn't steal tools but emptied them out and took the tool bag.

I grew up in Yakima, never had a rig broken into hunting, in town is a different story. One disturbing thing I’ve noticed is the gang tags out in hunting areas , LT , Yakima River, Wenas, and Cowiche units. They seem to have shooting ranges set up

Go out the Sheep Company road to the first shooting area. You'll enjoy some of your non-typicals trying to hip shoot Kalashnikovs.
