Friggin Thieves

[kaneboats]

Brad, very sorry to hear about this and very sorry for you. But way sorrier for them. Imagine risking jail time to trade your soul for some wakeboard stuff. Pathetic people that take others hard earned equipment. They'll get caught. Not this time, but eventually as they keep it up. Guys that cut locks off aren't one timers. Lots of times the stuff shows up on ebay so it gets shipped far away. I don't suppose there's any video, a gate?

Why don't you put a want ad out on Craigslist for a used wakeboard explaining that you fell on tough times and you want to give something for Christmas to your kid that lives with your ex. You never know what will show up.

i just can't stand thieves. I work offshore and last year i came home from being at work for two weeks to find my utility trailer and my 4 wheeler which was on my utility trailer gone. have not heard a thing from the cops yet

I had some stereo equipment stolen years ago and it is infuriating. If anyone has stuff in storage units, expect more thefts. With the popularity of the reality tv show 'storage wars' and others, expect a lot more break ins. These shows show what people leave in their units. In some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars in goods. If your place has no gate and no security cameras, (down every aisle, and entrance and exit cameras) Move your stuff. Ask to see the monitor and see if they have a DVR.

This is why I don't like buying used gear. I'm actually looking for a board right now and saw Kane's post in the classified section but I worry I'd actually be buying someone else's pitfall. Sorry about your loss man. That sux!

[saskyrider]

that really sucks!! In our small town hardly anyone used to lock the doors on their house or take keys out of the vehicles.... then in the course of 2 weeks, 3 cars and some dirtbikes and quads were stolen. Now i lock everything. At our lake we used to be able to leave out tubes tied to the public dock while we were out wakeboarding or surfing. Then my neighbor had his stolen! IT's sad!! hopefully your insurance comes through!!

geoff

A friend of mine on our river left some stuff on the beach where we park during the day when we are out boarding and stuff. He came back and a bunch of his boards and tubes were gone. Now everyone has to leave a guard or take everything with you each time you leave out. Shameful.

It's not a spot you can really get to by car or foot so it means other boaters are the ones that got him.

When I go camping and go out in the boat or on the motorcycle, I have a couple long cables that I run through anything of value and lock it to a permanent fixture like a tree. If there is nothing permanent nearby, I lock a bunch of stuff together so they have to haul it all out. The cables are cheap at Harbor Freight.

spoke to Insurance finally.. got a claim started.
Sounds like I'll get some love out of this deal! I'll lose out some, but if they use replacement cost I'll be ok. JUST about everything I got I had gotten on the deal from bbb, anothersmokindeal, etc...


OK,
SO Suggestions for replacements?
Surfboard?
Wakeboards for me and the Missus?
