I hate theives!

Had me some Crappie Rods coming in today from a purchase here on the classifieds, 3 Pro Angler Rods. Picked up the shipping tube and put it in my truck. Had some errands in town and then went home only to find my tube empty! Im really not sure if it got stolen in shipment or there was a chance it happened in town. I always lock my truck, but helping my daughter get out on her side...I forgot! Needless to say a couple of thugs were in the area and trying to sell some gold to the bussiness owner I was visiting. I really think this is when it was Stolen.

This sucks!!! $132.00 gone

Man I hate that. I worry every time in pull the cover off the boat I am goin to get ganked

Where at so people can start watching stolenlist! I mean craigslist

Im in Winnfield, North Central La....Thanks

I feel your pain. Back in the spring someone snipped the wires on my trolling motor and stole it. I guess I'm just naive, but I don't understand how someone like that can live with themselves.

I had a 25 Evinrude electric start stolen back in 2005. I got the word out and got a lead... and tracked em down myself and turned it over to the law. Turns out they had stolen it and sold it for $25.00 The guy in pocession got busted and he ratted out the tow theives. So its not impossible to get things back. And yes they served jail time on stacked sentences.

Im sure they will sell these for cheap to buy a high

Brandon, I hate to hear about your new rods getting stolen. We need to pray for those who stole them that the Holy Spirit would not give them a minute of peace until they repent and turn to Jesus. Maybe then, once the Lord changes them, they will find you and give you your rods back.

Any chance your truck was in range of a security camera when the theft occurred?

Brandon, I wonder why they didn't take the tube also??

They shot your trolling motor up their arm! Heroin has no conscience! The bum that's using your trolling motor is the one that should be ashamed, but probably isn't!

I was thinking the same thing, you would think that would be the case?

Yep, If I was stealing out of a truck in broad daylight I don't think I would take the time to pry open the tube to see what was in it and then leave the tube behind

They are the lowest of the low.

kyjohn, I left out an important word in my post. It was my trolling motor battery that was stolen. On a hunch, I checked the jon boats in the neighborhood pond and found it, with the wires still attached. Got it back but never discovered who did it. Deputy speculated it was someone outside the neighborhood who just needed a battery for the night.

Didn't you have your rods stolen out of your boat in a store parking lot a year or so ago? I know times are hard but they are hard for all of us, show some respect for your fellow man that had to earn that money to buy what they took for FREE!!!!! ~~<*{{{{<<

FSH4FUN,
Hey neighbor see your just over in Jena!

Thanks for the support, and I agree we all work for what we have unlike the individuals that steal our belongings. Pastor's intent was not being dis-respectful and I didn't take it as so. I understand exactly what he was saying and in all honesty, all I can do is move forward and not let this be something that makes me bitter because that only affects me and they never think twice about the impact on the people they rob or do they even care. I'll pray for my peace of mind and the wisdom to be more defensive against this type of act. I am looking strongly into the Driftmaster's Rod Locker system or something similar for my boat, and I will have all my electronics on a removable disconnect and Ram mount system so I can store them in a safer place. Got to be more pro-active on guarding against these acts.

check with the shipping company and if you paid with a visa you could be insured.

Yes, I did have my rods stolen out of my boat in a parking lot about 2.5 or 3 years ago. I also had some one come to my house about 4 years ago, go into my boat shed and take everything but the trolling motor and the forty HP Merc. And believe me I know how much tackle and fishing equipment cost. But, I prayed for the ones who robbed me both of those times. I still believe that we need to pray for the thieves who stole from Brandon. We need to pray for their salvation; that they would give their hearts and souls to Jesus Christ. He is the One who can bring change into their lives so that they will never steal from anyone again.

I apologize if I offended anyone with my post, especially TreeFrog, or you FISH4FUN. In no way did I intend to cause harm to my fellow fishermen or to discount the hurt and betrayal that TreeFrog felt when his rods were stolen. All I can do is ask ya'll to forgive me and pray for me if I slighted any of you in any way.

A slave to the Master, Brother Lavelle Spillers.

Your a good man Pastor

Man Brandon hate to hear that! I can't stand a thief or a liar! Maybe Doc will get some rods in for the Darbonne door prizes and you can get one to lessen the hurt some. And may the thief not catch a single fish on YOUR rods!

Maybe the thief has to feed himself or his family..... Just never know... Agree with pastor though....no matter how ya slice it, stealing hurts others... We r not to judge.. Only to make our fellows aware of their wrong doings:)

Boy I feel for you and I also join you in hating thieves! They can not just steal the item you have, but even things that hold precious memories and to me that is the worst! Sorry that happened, but if the tubes had rods in them when you picked them up you should have been able to feel them inside or maybe even hear them a little??

I'll "ditto" what "G" said......

If you had been lucky enough to catch them in the act and put a load of 6's in their butt, it would have turned them around the quickest. Plus you would still have your poles.

Pastor,
You didn't offend me in any way, I didn't it that way at all. I've never met you but I can tell by your posts that you are a good man with a kind heart and I'm sorry you have been a victim on numerous occasions. It is said that "GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT" maybe better things will be coming to you and TreeFrog in the near future! I certainly hope so............. ~~<*{{{{<<
