Sparrowfoot break in!!!!!

Yesterday morning one of our CDC guys had his SUV broke into while he was out fishing. He said he was only out a very short amount of time. They broke out 2 windows. They got a large case of CD's and a new pair of work boots. They were in and out quick because they missed several things of value. There was another vehicle in the parking lot that was not touched so someone may have driven up and scared them off. Just a heads up to not leave anything of value in your vehicle or at least not in plain sight.

That sucks!!! I wonder if it's the same tweakers who are hitting storage units in the area?

work boots ???

Yeah, if anyone sees a punk wearing a pair of Black and yellow steel toe shoes and a camo anglers port marine hat let me know. This crap is going to cost me $500 on my insurance deductible. Love working hard to support the lowlifes that do this. I'm sure that we all pay for their welfare check too.

Sorry about your luck, maybe if he finds out they are really work boots he will give them back.

kevin, very sorry to hear, if a ranger hat or two would replace the camo one you lost might know how to make that happen

I heard on the radio just this morning that car break-ins increase nationwide by 40% on black Friday and the days leading up to Christmas. Not sure what I would do if I caught someone breaking in my car. I'd probably be the one to end up in jail.

You know, of all the looting that took place in the St. Louis area recently not one pair of work boots was taken.

Man I hate to hear this for you. I sure hate thieves I would stop them from doing that to anyone. Freakn people

Catching those who do this sort of thing is always a lucky accident. It happens once in a while, not often. They are mostly tripped up when they try to sell what they stole. A detailed report to law enforcement allows them to get the info to pawn shops, etc. Doesn't hurt to keep an eye on Craigslist. Sometimes............

That would be awesome Kaz!

on the way, should be here in a few days, will drop them off by your place next week or so

Repair job on the SUV is done, so I can get back out there. Heads up for everyone. The guy at the repair shop said he had heard the a total of 7 vehicles were broken into at Sparrowfoot over the past few days.

Sounds like you need to have someone unload there boat and take off while another stays hidden inside the vehicle so you can catch this thief.

Keeping a guy hiding in the car could work but I really prefer the earlier idea of a Marine sniper. Sends a message to wanna bees and solution would be permanent.

If anyone is fishing Sparrowfoot has a trail camera they might think about setting one up back in the woods to see if you could catch them on video. Of course if I tried it they would probably steal the camera too. Maybe the marines are a better answer after all.

Back when I used to work for Mizzou and fish their lakes, there was a spate of flat tires at one of the lakes (Turkey Farm Lake) where people had to park and walk in to the lake. It got so bad the cops went there with an unmarked van and one guy stayed inside it while another walked down to the lake. A short while later, the University Farm Manager walks across the road from his house and flattens the tires on the van parked in the lake parking area. Seems he didn't want people fishing "his" lake. He was fired quickly after that. :Doh:

Need to park something with a trunk monkey inside. Link to video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AidA...H-Nxp7&index=1

some of you turkey/deer hunters that are use to sitting in the woods, get out there sit and watch, work in shifts, two hours on relief shows up switch, work on them crooks, but if seen take pictures, notes, and call the police, you really don't want to mess with a meth head, them S. O. B. are crazy and may just shoot,stab or just run over you,,,,, and this is just my own personal opinion but I think they are Jerks.....

Yep, gotta get a trunk monkey! thanks for sharing that LOZ Targa!
Window's fixed and i'm NOT going to let something like this hold me back. Got back out this morning for a couple hours and could have had a limit if I would have been keeping them today.
