My Buddy's Nitro Z8 was robbed on lake tenkiller a couple of weeks back. It was on a lift in his private dock when they stripped all the fishing stuff out as well as taking the cover and the front pedestal seat. The saving grace was both locators are built in and they left those alone. If anyone hears of someone trying to sell a Nitro Bass boat cover please let me know...maybe we can buy it back at a good price vs $400+ for a new replacementnonono
Sorry Denvervet, I hate when that stuff happens.
I hate thieves!
In the 60's I lived on Lake Texoma and swam around a large boat dock at Newberry Creek. Most people left all their fishing equipment in their boats and I never remember anyone losing a single thing.
Definitely couldn't do that now in this era.
Sorry to hear that bad news -- that sucks. We can't leave anything on our boat on the lift at our dock. We had someone last year climb under the cover from the stern but the only electronics on the boat is the base for the Depth Finder and the base for the stereo. I take the main units off both. We even have to chain our tables and chairs to our dock to keep kids from just throwing them in the water.
Times have changed for sure. Used to be able to go to bed with the doors and windows open. Now you go to bed with a Glock under your pillow.
or 2!! (on the handgun!) LOLQuote:

you do what you gotta do.....someone stole my trailer "permanent" license plate once....and got another one halfway torn off before they gave up or were interrupted by somebody....it is now welded on....I will have a picture of the next thief....

Night vision game cams don't provide enough resolution for the most part to do a facial recognition unless the high end units are used.
Might try this:
LED Solar Security Lights $35.99 Item # F530C-223544.
and a
Safe Guard Replica Security Cameras with Flashing LEDs - $22.49 Item # WX2-613639
Now the cameras are NOT real working cameras but the thief doesn't know this.

Sportsman's Guide has them.
Its running rampant these days. A couple weeks back a friend had loaded his boat and his wife decided the should do some more fishing but needed some beverages before heading out. Trailed boat up to a lakeside convienince store ran in got some drinks and snacks and trailed up to the north end of the lake to relaunch. After getting on the water, he discovered his new Onix-10 was missing.
After filing a report with the rangers, he was told there had been a lot of similar thefts over the last couple months. He was also told the ones that were locked and not removeable had been broken beyond salvage. Since his was actually stolen rather than destroyed, his insurance should cover it.
