PARTY OF TWO...

Post by Sir reel »

Or??

Helped them selves to 7 rod and reel combo’s and 2 new starting batteries Monday morning around 4am. :sleep: Boat was parked in my back yard and fully covered with a tied down tarp. Lots of small, approx size 7-8 , juvenile tennis shoe tracks on the ground around the boat.

Initial estimate is somewhere around $7-$8 hundred replacement. Insurance didn't sound very hopeful earlier today. Progressive (boat) would cover the batteries with no problem. But with a $125 deductible, it’s pretty much a wash. The equipment will NOT be covered :smt013 :smt010 because Progressive’s policy language is so narrowly worded that the equipment must be secured in a “lockedâ€

HEY BUD, SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE LOSS. LABOR DAY NIGHT, WHILE I WAS OVER AT THE HOSPITAL WITH BABE, SOMEONES, MORE THAN ONE, STOLE MY 115 EVINRUDE OFF THE BACK OF THE BOAT ALONG WITH ABOUT























































































































HEY BUD, I WILL TRY THIS AGAIN, THE FIRST TIME IT JUST WENT INTO CYBER SPACE, SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LOSS. I JUST HAD A 115 EVINRUDE AND ALL OF THE CABLES, STEERING AND SOME OF MY TOOLS TAKEN. HAD TO BE TWO PEOPLE, ONE PERSON CAN NOT PICK UP THAT 115, IT WEIGHS ABOUT 375 POUNDS. THE KICKER WAS VALUED AT $3,500 AND THE CABLES AND STEERING AT $780, I THOUGHT MY HOME OWNERS WOULD COVER IT BUT I WAS WRONG, I HAVE A $5,000 DEDUCTABLE. THE LAW SAID THAT THEY HAD A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF STOLEN AROUND GRADY COUNTY THAT WEEK-END. I JUST PUT ANOTHER BOAT AND MOTOR OUT WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE IT FROM THE ROAD, I HOPE THEY COME BACK AND TRY TO GET IT, GOT IT WIRED WITH 22O ELECT. IF THEY TOUCH THAT THING THEY GONNA FRY.
PA THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA

Been there done that, nothing feels worse unless they get a new pair of boots you have been wanting forever saved to buy can't afford more and just bought.

Notice they never steal tools like a shovel or rake.

Put out one of those game camaras and some more bait and see if you catch a rat in the trap.

My brother got robbed a little while back and got his lap top and other assorted B.S. back maybe you will get lucky.

I know the stuff stings I hate the part about it being at your house.
