I guess I should have sat home and watched the panthers game. I decided to try Arrowhead from 1:30 to 4:30. caught one as soon as I started and no more. That's not the bad part. Some ******* boogered up my toolbox and stole me blind. Not sure what all I had in there but I know 18volt DeWalt drill, Rockwell oscilating tool and a tool bag full of many tools including a Greenlee voltmeter. didn't want to wait on LCSD so they are coming to my house now to file report.
That's terrible.
Must happin after 2:30 thats when we came out did not see anything
I'd like to catch someone one time when they are breaking in mine or someones car. Had that happen at hickory hills ramp one time. I've noticed at arrowhead they also have those type of men, that lets say. " Hang there hooks upside down " park out there often.
we need to set up a bait car ,after a few good ole boy talks they would quit the thieving..just need 3 or 4 of us easy place to block them in.
Sorry to hear man it's pitiful you can't even go fishing without worrying about someone stealing your stuff. That's one thing I can't stand is a theif hopefully they can recover some of your stuff.
what about mounting a game camera in the back glass of the truck? the deputy said they can patrol it more to deter it. one way in and one way out, I doubt the theif will let himself get caught. the way he pryed into the toolbox he knew what he was doing. I will never understand the nerve or lack of conscience. the only chance to catch them is catching them with the goods in a drug house. I doubt they stole my tools to work with them.
All the boat launches have this problem .I bank fish a lot and see a lot of drive through traffic ,the county areas need more security because of the crystal myth issues.I was fishing the other day in one guy offered to sell me all of his fishing gear ,that just brought on a red light. I was sure it was stolen but I could be wrong.
alexava,
Sorry to hear about the break in. I worry constantly about the same thing with the remote areas be both frequent. To be honest the only thing that worries me more is what I might do if I caught them breaking in to my truck.
Folks are starting to carry a pistols these days because there is too much crap going on at the places we like to fish! Heard of an instance where they actually robbed and beat up a guy that was fishing alone. This has got to stop!!
I'm with Ditch Basser I would love to catch someone trying to break into my truck but worried what I would do. Bob D- it is a sad day and time when you or your family can't go anywhere with out protection. That's why if I have pants on I'm carrying and so is my wife!!!
KD14,
I'm not trying to make a political statement, but the Newtown Massacre/Sandy Hook School shooting caused me to re-look a lot of things in my life. When you consider the teachers ran towards the gunfire, but were helpless to do anything, I decided I'd never be unarmed again if it was legal for me to carry. That's why I hope I never encounter them breaking into my vehicle. The sheriff will be called and the crook will be waiting quietly, one way of the other.
you will not encounter this at arrowhead or most other places I fish. these guys are in for a quick score and can see if a boat was approaching the ramp and can easily see if a vehicle was coming either way down the road. some type of game camera is the only way of possibly ID ing them. even if I had binoculars and saw them break in there would be no way to get to the ramp before they are long gone. I should have taken the drill and saw out but, hell what is a toolbox for. this is very frustrating. I might check some pawn shops.
yep i carry a gun with me
nothing wrong with being ready, but wont help this situation.
Alexava, hate to hear about your loss. That is one reason I launch from work most of the time. We have a non public ramp that is patrolled by guards. I had my tool box messed up years ago at Hickory Hills, thieves did not get anything but messed up a good aluminum side box, someone must have scared them off. Makes your blood boil.
Guns on the refuge is illegal ,may want to check with the wheeler officials.
The Federal Law changed in 2010. Basically if you have a permit that allows you to legally carry a handgun concealed standing outside the gate/property line of a national park, wildlife refuge, etc then you can carry on. If the state has a law prohibiting concealed carry in state parks for example then you may also be prohibited in NWR within that state. Some federal property is exempt like Redstone Arsenal.

All these places ya'll have mentioned (Arrowhead,Hickory Hills, Rockhouse) are getting bad with breakins. It's always been around but it's getting worse. Worries me when I put the boat in to go hunting. Hope I don't catch someone breaking into my truck next week. Flintlock season will be open. Haha
