Thieves

[texasbasser]

Thieves are at it again.
My truck was broken into either late last night or early this morn and the thieves made out with two plano boxes of random lures, a Quantum Cabo, BPS Extreme reel, and a diawa baitcaster that was a gift of Zooker from last year... I could handle the other losses but that last one was a killer. The reel he gave me wasnt anything physically special, but it worked flawlessy and just the fact that it was a gift from him made it priceless. None of the reels were on really expensive rods, but still

My truck was locked but it looks as if they popped the driver door handle somehow. I have a 2002 Ford expedition. I know it wasnt too smart of me to leave the gear in my car, but after a evenings fishing I honestly didnt feel like carting all my gear back into the garage. I guess I thought I was safe in a private community tucked away from the city.

PLEASE guys LOCK your doors and leave nothing of value in your vehicles. Also, if you have the money, get an aftermarket alarm system. This is the SECOND time thieves have robbed my truck, the other time was down at the coast, but I think its about time I save some money up and get something that will deter these scum bags. I know that these guys will not be stealing any of my left over fishing gear once more.

thanks for the rant,
