mike rousseau Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Who steals a net... Portable charger... And a boat seat with pedistal...??? In my driveway while we were home sleeping... Unreal what low life's will risk jail time for... The stuff is pretty old and worthless but to replace everything it will cost me over $300... I hope someday I catch one of these punks in the act...
spincast Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) that sucks Mike. About 10 years ago when I first started to get back into fishing someone hit the truck the one night I left the rods and tackle in after a long hot day of fishing. Lost about the same amount. Replaced the locks on the cap. Unfortunately doesn't matter where you live, ya gotta lock it up. Edited September 1, 2014 by spincast
SuperDave Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Yup been there myself. 2 years ago while I was out fishing some jerkwad broke my truck window and made off with lots of goodies even my boots! Lowest form of life.
mike rousseau Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Posted September 1, 2014 I get locking stuff up... But really.... A boat seat?
limeyangler Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Unreal what low life's will risk jail time for... LOL….JAIL TIME????? you don't even get jail for armed robbery these days. My sympathies to you Mike….that makes my blood boil. Edited September 1, 2014 by limeyangler
mike rousseau Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Posted September 1, 2014 And a week after having Pete and Andrew out for the day I donated to fishing for Tyler... Come on karma... What the heck?
John Bacon Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) I get locking stuff up... But really.... A boat seat? With the price of boat seats that does not surprise me too much. Especially if it is the original boat brand. Edited September 1, 2014 by JohnBacon
mike rousseau Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Posted September 1, 2014 It was a 16 year old casting seat on a broken pedistal... Lmao Aftermarket...
Gerritt Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Keep an eye on kijiji.... You never know G
fishindevil Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 That sucks mike !!! It's bull and I have been there before as well just lowlifes !!! Keep an eye on kijiji like gerrit said and hope for the best
davey buoy Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 That sucks Mike,I added 650 watts of light to my driveway with a motion sensor.Lights up my driveway and neighbours like a landing strip lol .He added the camera.That's all we can do.Can't stay up 24/7.Sure would be nice if you can find the stuff.As said,keep a eye out.
Ralph Field Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Remember some steal just to steal. They likely threw your stuff into a ditch down the road.
outllaw Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 sucks. I have a security lite front/back. plus a dog... normally its dopers trying to get valuables from vehicles. I hope that pedestal seat collapses and the thieve gets the shaft
Walleye72 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 That sucks big time !!! I'll tell you what though, after reading all these stories about theft from boats and such, when getting ready for holidays this summer I left the boat in my garage over night, and hooked it all up in the morning. I just couldn't take the risk of leaving it in the driveway even with the cover cinched down tight. I have my eye out for a light and a camera that feeds to my PC which is almost always on.
mike rousseau Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Posted September 1, 2014 My next house will have a garage... A well secured garage...
lew Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) My next house will have a garage... A well secured garage... I've got a big 1000 sq. ft. garage plus a 400 sq. ft. loft above it and park my boat & truck in there plus all my tools and everything else. Being out in the country I never bothered to lock the place as there had never been a report of anything ever been stolen on this road before until a neighbor down the road had his ATV stolen last year. I now keep the garage locked every night and leave an outside light on. Sad that we have to live this way but until our courts ever decide that these punks need to be dealt with SEVERELY, we don't have much of a choice I spose. Edited September 1, 2014 by lew
4x4bassin Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 That's brutal , I hate hearing about things like this
Lunatic Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 i have friends who laugh and call me paranoid. i always take my gear out of the boat with me even if its only for 30min while i eat. it sucks lugging everything 3 times a day up and down to the boat but i still have it all. living in hamilton makes anyone paranoid about thieves! but a boat seat........thats interesting.
AdamS Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 Yikes! I have my boat uncovered outside right now..I emptied it out but my seats are still pretty new so I'm puttin the cover on her tonight. Where are you from mike?

Lew , when we go to work (well not you ) other people also go to "work" and help themselves! I'm like you they are scum and then some. I've only had my car looked at and they too my change. Where I live now we should be leaving our wallets in the driveway! But it will never happen, a few people down the road think we are easy pickings and when they need it they will come.
creditmaster Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 that sucks man i onece han my 600 dollar waders stolen right out of my locked garage
Fisherpete Posted September 3, 2014 Report Posted September 3, 2014 As annoying as it is, I do the same - empty everything out of the boat every time. Years ago I stopped for lunch once for an hour at a friend's cottage and thieves took all the rods, tackle and even the worm box and anchor! Ridiculous. At night if I leave the boat at the dock, the boat gets cable locked to the dock, and a second cable runs thru both my seats and the gas can onto the first lock... if someone wants it that bad they will still cut the locks and get it, but it will take some effort.
