I found from my past experience getting ripped off
Your deductible usually is more than the loss
Good luck and that sucks

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

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.

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 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.You waterfowlers need to set up cams, or a decoy vehicle.😉

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.

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.
HerdBull, when was that? This year?

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.
Post by: KP-Skagit on December 28, 2021, 11:59:16 AM
It was About a week ago they cut all our locks on our shack and stole our stuff out on Fir Island.
Thanks for the heads up. I shared with a couple buddies who have similar shacks.

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.

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.
:dunno:

All this has me wandering if there is better security for your rig out there?

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.

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.

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.🤬
