Been lurking for awhile but I figured I had better register and spread the word, might save someone from having a bad day and getting into a heap of trouble over nothing...

Although not a single thing has come up missing, nor any property damaged, the neighborhood crime watchers around here have become seriously concerned with crappie fishermen tying up and stepping into private docks. They are taking pictures and getting boat numbers and reporting them to authorities.
At the very least this could get you a trespassing charge, and at the worst (if anything was ever reported missing by the dock owner) it could get you arrested for theft.

So by all means SHOOT THE DOCKS but don't get out on them. We definitely don't need crappie anglers getting a bad name.
