Beware of Thieves

Friday night at the Notchy Creek Campground boat dock, some low life, under the cover of darkness, brought his boat up to the dock and proceeded to rob several camper's boats. One man, a troller, lost every rod and reel. Others lost several rods and tackle. This happened on Tellico Lake in E TN, but it could have been anywhere that folks leave equipment onboard at night. Sad times these days when you can fall victim to some low life who prey on innocent folks just trying to have some respite from the stresses of these days.

they might go as far as to siphon gas out of a boat that has a large tank in the cover of darkness as well .
They hit my bud when gas prices were high a while back and emptied out his big tank one night right inside a marina .

I better behave and reserve comment on this Easter morning.

Sad.

I'm with you brother!!! I'll not say what I'm thinking about the thief because it's Easter Sunday...But the Lord will deal with the low life...

I had a truck stolen almost one year ago, April 16, 2019, and it still has not been recovered. We have some leads that it may be in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, but as of yet.....no truck. There are bad people everywhere and most thieves have been in trouble before and are on the streets because there's either no room in jail or they're out as informants. We got a name of a suspect in our stolen truck and the police told me that he probably was in on the theft, but he's currently working with police on something bigger and they're not gonna mess with him too much. Thanks a lot!

To me that makes the cops as guilty as the thieves!!! A little better than a year ago someone stole a neighbors truck. Broke in it, rolled it down to the bottom of the hill. Now get this, His Battery was dead as a door nail. So they came up our side of the loop, broke the wind wing on my truck, stole my battery for his truck, and proceeded to take his truck. I thank the lord they only took my battery, but that cost me a hundred dollars to replace at I time when it really wasn't available. There's no telling what goes through a thieves mind as to why they do things they do...

I will add to my previous post by saying that we all know how tough Karma is to deal with. I like my Karma better.

I just have no real use for a thief. As others mentioned...at some point, they will be regretting their chosen way of life. If it is something they really need for their family, or what have you, ask me, and odds are I’ll give it to you. Most of the time though, much of the loot goes to feed a drug habit of some sort.

Many of these guys are confidential informants and work for the local police departments. I know of several informants, AKA Snitches, and they are low life human beings...It's mind-boggling to be honest.

You must remember that these people have been busted many, many times in their lives, and the police eventually turn them into CI's. These are your losers across this country and there's thousands of them.

That is sad we have to even worry about this. I now have to take all my graph screens off of the boat each night when on trips. And never even use to think about having to do that. Sad world we are living in.

I have boat bag that I use when leaving my boat overnight. It holds my graphs and tackle when I am away from my boat. My rods and reels are also removed and are placed in the truck. It takes a extra 5 minutes to pack up your stuff when not in use. I hate thieves and liars with a passion.

Isn't it (both) ironic and amazing just how hard a thief will work to avoid working for a living??
I have always prayed to the Lord that I never catch a thief stealing anything from anyone.

Strange things happen to known theives,I read in a book one time that three known thieves were found beaten to a bloody mass and left on the side of the road..The crime rate in that small town dropped 70% over night...Strange???

I've always been curious how a discussion about thieves ends up with negative statements about police officers. I worked as a property crimes/auto theft detective for a 2,000 officer police department for ten years (32 and counting total). I've had many, many informants throughout the years and yes, some of their crimes would be forgiven if they ponied up information on a larger crime. But, we NEVER let a theft slide by if there was an identifiable victim, without approval of the victim and a full recovery of the stolen property. The public's perception of a "confidential informant" and how they are worked by police officers is usually nowhere near the truth of the matter. Most are drug users because when I arrest a person on a drug crime, I can use that person as a CI because they didn't victimize a citizen. If a citizen was victimized, the chances of trading a lesser charge for information is almost nonexistent.

I'm sure some police departments handle things differently than we do though.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw my two cents out there.

It happens. I’m living next door to a drug dealer right now. When I moved in it took about two days to realize what was happening. I went to the sheriff about it and he said he couldn’t (wouldn’t) do anything about it because “the dude is giving me info I need.”

A couple of years ago a women in Hernando, Ms. stole my wife"s identity. We were able to find out her name and address because she was pretty dumb when it came to crime. She filed for taxes on my wife and it really screwed up our return . We had to file a complaint and get a special number to file our taxes from that point on. We went to The IRS and they didn't even know what to do with the check that we received bogusly when we tried to turn it in. They didn't want to prosecute the person and told us to go to our Ill States Attorney. We did and she said that since she lived in another state they didn't want to pursue the case event though we had her name and address. To this day there was nothing done. We get a special pin # to file every year now. Not a lot of fun.

What a crock of crap. Can't believe the IRS or the state wouldn't prosecute. What happened to the check you got?

A couple of points here. First, I assume you spoke to the actual sheriff. If not, you might want to call him/her and let him/her know their deputy told you this. Second, if the sheriff told you about a drug dealer who is working with law enforcement, he lacks ethics, integrity and is just plain stupid. If the neighbor is dealing drugs out of his home, I'd suggest you call your state drug enforcement agency. Standard practice around the country would forbid an actual informant from openly committing crimes while working for law enforcement. If the sheriff is allowing drug trafficking, he could be held liable for any bad consequences associated with the drug selling. Sounds like you need a new sheriff.

It was not long ago our "Sheriff" for tallahatchie county (just a couple counties over from Brokenneth) was arrested for trafficking so don't put it past them down here!

2 years ago I had a farmer that lived 80 miles from here had $100K in beans stolen from his grain bins in Tallahatchie Co. He couldn't get the sheriff to do anything about it, even when the farmer found where the beans were sold in Arkansas and had a real good idea who did it.The state wouldn't come in unless the county asked them to. The insurance company wouldn't investigate it because they said they lose that much in Memphis everyday. Nothing was done.

They most likely won't take it to a pawnshop but will try to trade it for quick cash or drugs. If you ask the right people in the area you may be able to find some answers. You can't take the approach of telling them you're going to call the cops, they won't help you. I had someone steal all of my fishing equipment a few years ago and that's how I got most of it back and found out who stole it in the first place.

Slab Stackin... my family has a looong history of law enforcement. Thanks for a post that tells it like it is.
