SlowPoke Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I know we're all thinking it... where's ccmt and bly? Sorry to hear about the break in and I hope it wasn't too big of a loss for the store. I'll keep my eye open on kijiji and other classifieds. Is there a way we can post an inventory of missing items - there's a ton of bargain hunters around here that might spot something. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Well that sucks! I just met Dave for the first time last week and got my mustang suit from him. I sure hope the dude's get busted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I will try to get a more detailed list from him tommorow brian, thats a great ideahe figures its at least several thousand dollars anyways...that crap makes me sooo mad, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) If all the stuff he had on the walls is gone then it is big bucks for sure. I was / am going back in post Christmas to get all the goodies that I didn't get under the tree. Dave orders what you need at a fair price if he doesn't have it in stock too. To me (being in sales too) that is good customer service and he will be seeing more of me and my money. To bad this happened to him and even worse at this time of the year...

forrest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 That really sucks. It is hard for a small new business to take a loss like that, even if they do have insurance. Who is desperate enough to steel fishing stuff? Maybe they were after the laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is desperate enough to steel fishing stuff? Maybe they were after the laptop? Don't think so, it was a Dell from the looks of it... All crooks see is "laptop". They know laptop. They want laptop. They break window to get laptop and its surrounding friends. Or maybe they saw fish fishfinder. The best policy with tempting things is to keep them out of eyesight just like a person would in a car. Not the store owners fault, burglars are often impulsive. forrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishindevil Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I hope dave will be alright,i would hate to see the store close as well,at least he was insured but still,by the time he pays his big deductable,and the repars,and we all know how long it takes to get any money from the insurance company... i will hope to get a more detailed list of stolen items,jsut everybody keep their eyes & ears open for anyone trying to get rid of it real fast for a quick buck.....like i said it was at least several thousand dollars of stock that was stolen...dam im mad as heck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I hate to hear about this stuff!!! I live in the King/Townline area and a co worker at work told me he had heard of a rash of house break ins over the last little while in the same general area. I would not doubt if it is all tied into one group of idiots. "Hang em high" I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Good ole Shwa!! I haven't been in the store yet, but from what I hear, its pretty good! There is nothing worse than a thief....the lowest form of life!!! And at Christmas too boot.....talk about low lifes!!! The yprolly traded the goods for thier fix of crack.......brutal!!! Good luck with all this Hirk, hope it all ends well. I'll have to pay a visit to the shop the next time I'm in the dirty shwa!! Where abouts is it exactly anyways??

Viking Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Drove by the other day and seen the front door boarded up. Thought it might of been weather related. There was a piece in the local paper about a rash of B&E's in the area. The store is kinda tucked out of the way so I guess it made an easy target. It's actually in Courtice not Oshawa. Only been in a couple a times but should maybe spend more money there I like the idea of a tackle shop real close to home. Would hate to see him go under. Maybe burglar bars are part of the future. Hope all works out well. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNODDY Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) That sucks I was just in there probably thursday I cant remember now. This would explain why he hasn't sent me the email on pricing a few rods that I wanted. Never fails you get a good local guy that will pretty much order anything you want unlike another big store in town (no Names) and he gets a slap in the face like that. I hope he makes out alright cause I was planning on spending some dough there after Christmas. Edited December 22, 2008 by GNODDY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
