Things started off not too bad Friday morning,till I went out to my work van and discovered that some low life S.O.B. had cleaned me out all my power tools along with some very personal stuff that belonged to my late father( I can't replace this
To make matters worse I check out my pick-up...ditto cleaned out down to the change in the ashtray that means 2 rods and reels and a ton of tackle .
Next they hit the wifes Jeep took stupid stuff like her school bag and such
So took the day off ,had to wait for the locks smith to re-key the house ,Jeep etc.(they took my set of keys,
We moved to country to avoide this, we never use to lock our rigs ,heck I leave my keys in the work van....not again
good thing ,they tried to hit my neighbors house early saturday night,they tripped the alarm never got a look at them ,they better hope I never do...took the plug outa the shotgun,if their too far away ,that's when we bring out the .06
we fired the dog she sleeps too sound

so I guess I'm starting basicly from scratch....already replaced one reel ....THIS BITES

Careful, Osprey. I got my cars broken into three times in a month and a half last year. The side windows were broken on them twice. the police said it was the same people. I gave the idea of steel rods in wet ground and 220 volts some real though. (JK) but it sure sounded good at the time.

I'm thinking more along the lines of claymores and trip wires

I like it. Hope they don't pay you another visit. Good luck and good hunting.

O's, that really sucks. There's nothin worse
then being violated on your own turf. Keep the .06 loaded and ready.Good luck,

Osprey,
Sorry to hear that happened. I hope that they get caught. That sucks even more about the personal idems. Well see ya and that is a bummer.

O's I have tons of extra fishing rods and reels if you need to borrow till you can get yours back together again. Just let me know what you need and I'll fix ya up. This has happened to me too......fp

Osprey, sorry to hear that. I read in the Daily Zero that there has been a rash of car prowls in the Oly/Lacey area. If possible, send me a description of your gear and I will keep my eyes open.

Its bites brah---Im trying to look at the bright side for ya Osprey---ahhhh---lets see---you get to buy new gear!

Osprey,

I clicked on your post thinking I was going to read about a lousy fishing weekend, like I had. Very sorry to hear about your misfortune. Nothing bites more than being ripped off! Especially sorry to hear about the keepsakes. I know it must gall the hell out of you. Again, sorry to hear of it. Tad

I feel for ya, Bro. Happened to me in '91.
Officer I talked to said I should engrave my gear with an electric pencil. If it's recovered, at least they are identifiable.
Low-lifes suck.

OS,
That is bad news man. Keep an eye out, idiots like this usually come back for seconds. Be careful, nothing is worth your own safety or the safety of your family.
We need to hook up again soon
