I'm sorry this happened to you, Creek. Hopefully, they'll catch the SOB's and you'll get all or most of your stuff back.

If they do get caught, sadly enough, the judges usually give minimal punishment to these jerks; ie, probation, community service, etc. And if they are minors, they go free without punishment.

And that poor old man from Memphis. I don't have a lot of money, but I would buy him some fishing gear to help get him back into business if I knew how to contact him...
