Do yall believe some low life lop eared scum bellied thief done stole a 14' monarch/18 hp motor/ nearly new trolling motor and a Big Buck Deluxe ladder stand outta my yard! During the daytime! Good news is the gas tank was empty and I had the battery and depth finder out.
Man that sucks.
Sickening man. Nothing I dislike more than a thief and child abusers. They rank the same. Hope you get it back but doubt that will happen.
Man that sucks
Must be something in the water. Got up at five and cut the lights on , made the coffe and looked out the window to see a truck flying down out private drive with the lights off. I ran to the front of he house to get a look and they were long gone by then. Went investigating and it looks like everything is in place. Hate thieves
That really sucks! Thieves are getting more brazen these days it seems. I had some 20 in wheels stolen a few weeks ago that were sitting beside the garage. I bought a new 12 ga shotgun last week and I'm waiting on them next time. Seems like they are targeting people in rural areas more lately.
Hope the catch the scum and you get your stuff back.
Slab Slayer I hope you get some justice it's always sux to be a victim of a crime.I love to night fish but it always worries me not being able to keep an eye on the truck.
Man, it feels bad to have your "space" violated! Maybe they can't get a tag for it and will get caught!! I know it's too late but I'm kinda of an untrusting soul when launching ANYWHERE or parking trailers in my yard or even at camp and I ALWAYS LOCK THEM ON OR OFF the truck. Not saying they can't get it but that they can't just have it.
Sorry Ba$tard$ - I'd get in more trouble popping a cap than they would for grand theft - go figure.
Sorry to bad they didn't leve with a load of bird shot in their rear end
A load of rock salt would change there mind about there wicked ways
tough. let us know detailed id so we can keep eye out. where are you?
Amen to thatQuote:

I'm in cullman county, west point community. Older 14' Monarch aluminum, livewell is built in the center bench with wood door that goes all the way across the seat. Registration #AL-5274-BA good thru August 2015, hull #105577, motor is older 18 hp evinrude (don't have #) but just put thread inserts in the head for the plugs during the summer and a newer motor guide hand control TM. I'm looking for a picture to post. May never get it back but the extra eyes lookin sure are appreciated.
I am in the Scottsboro area so I am not that far away.
I forgot to add that the back bench has the name "Roy" I white letters.
Make sure you file a report with the police.
I filed with the County, the Deputy is trying to put it on the state wide network.Quote:

Hate a thief, best of luck to you on getting your stuff back. We do need a picture of it so everyone can be on the lookout for it.
Sorry you got ripped off. Hate them thieves. Hope you catch them.
Somerville area here will keep an eye out on the river and creeks.
Just wanted to let yall know that I appreciate you folks keeping an eye out for my boat. Chances are I wont get it back because, as I understand it, there is a good chance that the old boat is probably already in a scrap yard (maybe multiple yards) by now. But its good to know that good people like yourselves are still around and willing to help out. So strong bites and smooth sets to all!!
Scrap yards are pretty good about keeping an eye out for stolen metal. We had a large stainless steel job stolen from the weld shop. It was recovered but after the job had been redone and sent out. It may be worth a try to call some yards and give a description of the boat to them. Only be out a little time on the phone. I still hope it will turn up for ya.
The investigator called and said he was gonna check them out but I'm gonna try to visit some of them and ask if I can do walk thru Friday.Quote:

Went by three scrap yards today but they didn't have any flat bottom boats. The owner of one of them said if it was a good boat the thief probably wouldn't scrap it. So starting tomorrow I'll be checking some boat ramps.Quote:

Still keeping an eye out around here.

Didn't really think about the weather.... but then I'm going tomorrow night. I'm hoping to at least see the trailer somewhere.
I am hoping it will turn up for you. Just remember the fella in the boat may not be the their. It could have been sold already and the person with it may not have a clue. Just food for thought.
Thanks for the reminder. I've met a lot of fishermen and women in my life time, from out west to the deep south. Some may not share with you their favorite spot or bait (nothin wrong with that) but I can honestly say I've never met a true fisherman/woman that would straight out steal a boat. I'll be sure to ask questions first.
