Just went outside to see if the grass was dry enough to cut and noticed the tarp on my boat was half off and the bungees were removed. Looked inside and saw that the two batteries were gone. The cables were cut and the on board charger was gone too.
Odyssey deep cycle = $274.00
Odyssey starting battery =$168.00
charger (cheap thank goodness). $40.00
:mad::mad::
Wow, sorry to hear about that Andy. It's a shame we cant even protect our stuff even at our own homes. Hope your insurance will cover this stuff, good luck.
That suks. Will your home owners insurance cover that? Or do you have ins. on the boat? Sounds to me like someone knew what you had there.
It's a cryin' shame when things in your own yard isn't safe any more. By what was taken it was probably some junky looking to make a quick score for some more junk. Hope your insurance has you covered.
Was just getting ready to sell the boat (Gheenoe) it's my #2 boat and I just can't keep two boats. My other boat I keep in the garage. Was just going to sell the boat and trailer and keep the motor, but now I think i'm going to get rid of the whole rig.....less the batteries......... I think too that it may have been someone in the area that needed a battery for his boat, they came ready as they cut all the wires and straps off clean.They had to have a car because I don't think they could have carried it off down the street. You just can't have anything nice anymore without some %#€ # trying to take it from you.
sorry crappieday we keep on letting them out of jail [no room] If we keep on going they will be more of them than use. I know you feel like --------------- I hate to say it but we are going to POTS.
call Speckanator he will find them he might be at the dounut shop:Rofl
You bet your sweet %$@ if I knew who they were I'd do a fix...............real sorry Andy!!!!Quote:

Thats a bum deal Andy. I got burned years ago for an outboard, when I had no $. Glad they didn't get anything else. Also glad you didn't catch them in the act, as there's no internet on the inside. We like hearing from you.
Man sorry to hear about that.:Doh: Sometimes I think punishment in foreign countries would work better for us. They like to chop off parts of thieves. No jail time needed. :twocents Hope your home owners ins kicks in for those $500 batteries and that $1000 charger, just sayin.:)
That's so aggravating. Crazy what people will do. We almost got taken for a lot of money from some crooked people the other day. They weren't going to give the money back until the police threatened to process them for fraud and misrepresentation.
So sorry to hear they got all that stuff.

I have had the same problem. Since your boat has a tarp, consider using the attached driveway alarm. If someone gets in your boat, it will notify you. This depends upon where you place it. Normally when I am traveling on the road for King Kat tournaments, I use it. I have to watch were I place it. If I have it to high, it will pick up cars passing. I want to detect their feet. Less false alarms. I also get a room that I can see my boat. Check Harbor Freight out. Search results for: 'alarm'
Thanks for your concern everyone, i'm just not use to having to live with thieves all around. Two weeks ago they tried to break into the house. Moved from an area in PA. where unlocked doors and cars are still common. Going out to cleanup the boat to get ready to sell. Not even sure I want some freak coming over to look at the boat just to see what else they could steal.
Fishergurl, sorry to hear about your problems, glad everything worked out OK.
Hope to see everyone soon............time to put all this crap behind and get back to fishin..........
Bum deal Andy, what a better place this world would be if these types actually worked as hard at a legitimate job, but your dead on that they can't take away your passion for time on the water!! See yah soon.
Andy PM me when your ready to sell. I have a friend that might be interested. BLSDQuote:

Those Harbor Freight Drivway alarms work great, just put the detector under your cover in the boat and when anyone lifts the cover it goes off in your bedroom. It has great range and long battery life, for under twenty bucks its cheap insurance and you can use it when your on the road.
X2 on that Harbor Freight Alarm , I have one works great, Sorry Andy about your stuff, Sux for sure RR
Sorry about your stuff.I once had 6 rods and reels and a nice, full three drawer tackle box stolen. The minute you realize some no account robbed you the first thing through your mind is "I wish I would have seen them" then after you have a chance to think about what you would have done your next thought is "sure glad I didn't see them" The boat will sell better without all the blood stains!
OR Bullet Holes.
First off, Andy that sucks - sorry to hear about that. Blood stains can be painted over & bullet holes patched but the boat won't go
without batteries. Good luck selling it, hopefully you can get it sold before the rest of it disappears.
Sorry *^% no good ^&%$#*( thieves.
Go steal huntinslabs battery....................he's too busy to gab..................besides that the last time we heard from him his motor was broke!!
:Rofl Just kidding.................steal the whole boat! :Rofl
Aren't you a retired law man??????... LOL. Just saying.Quote:

Yep, herd the same thing about the Harbor Freight units. It would not have helped as it was a daytime ripoff.
