Stolen Waterfowl Game Bags, Gear & Waders - Skagit County
« on: December 27, 2021, 05:44:53 PM »
Went hunting with my sons in a 15 shell area.  We made the mistake of placing 15 shells in each of our pockets and walking in.  We left all our hunting bags, waders and other items in my truck covered up.  We came back and the window was smashed out and we were cleaned out.  Lost 3 Divebomb bags, all our chokes, headlights, case & a half of ammo, our Sitka gloves and gear.  Sitka waders and lots of other miscelaneous waterfowl gear along my binoculars.  What's the process of placing a claim for all the stolen gear?  I am trying to find receipts or ones I have, but those seem to be far and few between.

Check with homeowners insurance for filing claim. As mentioned, deductible may be more than lost items.

My truck was stolen by a tweeker many years ago when tweakers were a new thing. Make a list of every item lost and a replacement price. Call your agent with that homework done. This is when you find out if your insurance company is worth all the money you have been paying them. Sorry this happened to you. Good luck

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear about this. I just lost a nice bag of Avian-X deeks to thieves in Skagit a couple weeks ago.

Took from my boat, so no vehicle damage. Might have happened at headquarters boat launch, but more likely once I was parked on my private property.

Would love to get my hands on the figgin scumbags

Unfortunate that the police anymore just take a report.  At least if they arrest someone with it, I may get a call.  The fun will start with the insurance company now.  Paid insurance for over 30 years and never had a break in, but I am sure I am about to be hosed again.  The window goes on my car insurance, $100 deductable.  Loss property goes on my home owners, $1,000 deductable.  They set it up, so they can double ding you and raise rates on both for any claims, I am sure.   :bash: :bash:  If someone catches a thief that is breaking into your rig, is it okay to rob them back?  Asking for a friend.

I hate thieves with a passion. I wish there could be a theft deterrent team, who setup and catch these scumbags, then impress on them through immense pain, that stealing others property is not cost effective.

Certainly a sh***y deal! I've learned the hard way that you just can't leave anything out where these dirt bags can get at it. I leave nothing in my truck when I'm out hunting,and nothing outside on my personal property.  Heck, someone stole a Santa Claus figure off my front lawn last year. Seems they just steal stuff because they can.  Best of luck on recovery or, hopefully, some relief from your insurance co..

Man it just sucks pond water thru a star. Happened to me for the first time November this year a few miles from my house at a WEYCO permit walk in road. The di#% less POS,s smashed the drivers side rear window in my truck and pry barred my tonneau cover. I honestly thank God that I didn’t catch them with a rifle in my hand. In the future, when I hunt the WEYCO permit walk in area, my wife has to drop me off and pick me up when I’m done hunting.  Almost time to fly this state and head back to where I came from.

Sad the police can't do much anymore. Remember when we were talking that crime is only going to get worse? Here we are. Very upsetting. There have been a few guys on here getting cleaned out this fall. So sad.

That sucks! Our duck shack was just broken into out on the Skagit Flats by Conway. Stole our Honda generator and tons of cases of shells and a bunch of other stuff. Might be the same A-hole.

What site were you at? Remember when talking with insurance company they will depreciate your loss so make sure to tell them if your gear was new or fairly new.

Unfortunately the way insurance is set up it’s not cost wise to file claims on small stuff, it just raises it and over time your still paying for what you lost thru higher rates.

We had a neutral power line power surge a couple years ago lost quite few electrical appliances, so did many others near us, PSE isn’t responsible the way laws are written in their favor.🤬

We just replaced everything out of pocket.


Late bow season I didn’t hunt an area I know holds deer due to tweakers possible stealing/breaking into my truck, a deer just ain’t worth it to me.

Sorry for your loss.

That said, total it up, its incredible how fast things can add up. I had a hunting pack a few miscellaneous items taken in the same manner a few years ago and ended up with over double my deductible in costs. My policy included replacement costs as well.

Buddy had his boat robbed and lost several tackle boxes, incredible how much money is in a little box...

Also interested in hearing a location if you don't mind sharing. Good to know what areas the thieves are working.

Man these people piss me off. The game department will put out decoys to try to catch poachers. Why the heck doesn’t the sheriffs department put a truck out with some hunting gear in it and sit on it just like they do the decoys? With how much this is happening it seems like you would have just as much or more success than they do when using this tactic to catch poachers. Better if they did it before honest Hunters start doing it and go to jail when they shoot some POS stealing their crap

I not sure what can  be done  legally to beat this,  when  my downriggers were  stolen off  my boat,  my neighbor found  them  on offerup,  Marysville  pd would not  even  go  talk to the person  who  had them, said the  distinguishing  characteristics of  them was not enough,  they wanted  the  serial  numbers  before they would  even  help.
I was  going to go  buy them  back  and  then  see  what I  could  do, I  should  have  done  that.
I think if you find  your stuff online,  I would  go  look at it,  with a  friend  and money,  take  it  from there.

It is  total  bs.

Talked to the insurance adjuster today.  Anything over $1k value you have to provide receipts, proof of purchase, owners manuals or pictures of you with it or you won't be getting anthing for it.  They also want dates you purchased items.  I am sure they will try to depreciate it, so you won't get replacement cost.  You get the wear and tear price.  Not sure who the real criminals are, the tweekers or insurance companies.  Going through the shake down procedure currently.

The other problem is whatever they pay you they will get back with increased premiums in short order and you will also have a claim on your insurance file so you can't jump to another company.  It's getting to the point that insurance is pretty much only actually insuring against catastrophic loss.  Everything else is simply an installment payment scheme.

Sorry to hear that, I've been getting pretty lazy storing stuff in the back seat of my truck and leaving stuff I don't need in the bed.  Sounds like I should rethink that.

You don’t see many used dive bomb silhouette dekes for sale this time of year. What dekes were they (species), and what size and camo pattern were the waders? I watch the used gear pages closely and can keep an eye out.

The police ‘probably’ have a pretty good idea who it was. The problem is how tied their hands are, and the ‘catch and release’ pattern the court systems have now.
As was stated, without serial numbers, pics with details, there IS no ‘proof’ that you owned the item. It sucks.
We got back ‘some’ of the items that were stolen from us in late Nov, and that was only because of a Cop that worked hard to find them.
Now our ‘older’ Travel Trailer sports a bolted on hasp with a lock on the front door. If another person wants in they may break a window. That would suck as well.

If your window gets broke does your car alarm go off?

Often thought about putting a separate alarm in my rig to cover the bed and inside. Something that blairs real loud.

I'm not sure if factory alarms have a glass break sensor, likely not.  Aftermarket you can do whatever you want.  Whether anyone can get there in time to do anything is another question.  The thieves don't have a whole lot of fear of getting caught, so smash and grab would likely only save you a few things they didn't have time for.  They have no way of telling if you have a sensor until they do the deed so it wouldn't stop them.

Somebody needs to invent a drone with longer battery life that you can just deploy and it hovers just out of reach of thrown objects and livestreams the video to the cloud.  Either that or the manufacturers need to add SSDs or slots to accept them that use existing cameras to record when the alarm is armed.

If there were a LEO task force that went around busting them that would put a significant dent into it.  That requires money and manpower, both of which are in short supply.

Key word
Almost......
Or buy a POS to use
This isn’t a “new” problem
Last 10 or so years it’s a lot worse
I’ve been ripped off parked at a gate
Big time hassle
Smashed drivers side glass
Stole my truck records/paperwork and government work badges and about 500 bucks worth of misc gear
Had to file identify theft and got my window fixed on insurance and then because it’s a security violation on my badges getting stolen,had to go to base security and explain what happened and of course insurance on my stuff didn’t cover squat
I don’t leave anything in my truck anymore
Does suck

Almost makes sense to leave your doors unlocked and leave nothing in your truck you can’t live without

Then you you’ll just get your vehicle jacked.🤬

Not sure if they are still available but there used to be alarms that detected any type of movement of the vehicle once the alarm was set, I believe they were a mercury switch and if someone even leaned on a fender it would activate with either a siren or a loud horn.
Might be something to consider for those in areas where vehicles susceptible to vandalism.
