Another break in on Norway Lake

[The3Ps]

Someone broke into my shack and stole my home made wood stove. Easy to recognize!! Please keep your eyes out for this and Pm me if you see or hear anything. Thanks

That's horrible! Sorry to hear that! Some people really deserve to have their hands broken. Or cut off as they do in other countries when caught stealing

[Bottle_O_Moxie]

Damn thieves.   Thanks for posting the picture.   We all can keep an eye out for it.

Sorry to hear about that . I also saw that you posted the same thing on FB. It seems like there are lots of scumbags in that area. This is the 3 rd occurence I heard about on Norway lake.

[The3Ps]

Trying to get the word and a pic out on a few social platform's yes!! I'm sure it's gone for good, but everyone deserves to know if the people they meet on the ice are thieves. Now if your out, and meet someone with this stove in their shack.
You'll know they are scumbags!

[Fish Wayniac]

The more eyes on it the better.

[Shockwave]

I'll keep an eye out.  I live in Norway.  Yes alot of thieves around.  I had a few teens, a few years back try to break in my wife's car.  They scattered like cockroaches when I  came out the door with my shotgun.  Also had a trolling motor stolen off my boat, while in my yard in West Paris.  Alot of dirtbags around the area.

Check local stores that sell stove pipe

[The3Ps]

What Napa? It used a 2 1/2" exhaust pipe for the chimney! Like I said it's a 8"x 8" x12" box. Light and custom made for my shack. Not another one like it that I know of.

Probably Butch B**din from Rockland or Belfast I forget which.  His crew stole a cooler full of beer from a friend and also had the balls to steal his friend's one of kind trolling motor.  How do I know it was his crew?  The friend and his buddy went in after hours if you know what I mean when they got wind from someone else that it could be them.  They were surprised to see his cooler there with his name on it and his buddy's trolling motor just 200 ft from boat launch.  I had a custom made ice shack with home made stove like yours in it.  Pulled the shack off before the season ended and went back after snow melted and it was gone just the year before the above incident.  A buddy want's me to help him build another ice shack, but I'm weary because of all the theaving that goes on and we cannot get out every weekend to tend it.  This is my first time posting only because i felt compelled to tell the story and we've been following iceshanty since 2005.  I remember the guy from I think So. Portland that had his jiffy with flames stolen right from his house and if I ever see it i will certainly contact him.  Best to all.

More reason to ditch the hardsides and use a portable...

Pretty sad when the honest guy has to be made to feel like he was in the wrong.  Scumbags are out there today, all facets, could have just as easily inserted "car brokening into while sitting in driveway."  I'm not trading my hard side for a portable anymore than I'm trading  my truck for a bicycle. 🤨

I hear ya man. This guy didn’t deserve to have his shack broken into nor does anyone. All I’m saying is I see way too many guys leaving valuables inside their permanent shacks and stuff getting stolen. crapty world we live in.

The honest guy gets the shaft every time Nick, you work your tail off for everything you have and then some other guy that doesn't want to work as hard as you lives for taking the short cut, sucks, sad times.

Ahhhhhh......The Democratic way!

How does making a suggestion about getting a portable imply that the victim was wrong?  He was merely saying that a lot of people use a portable so their chit doesn't get stolen.  You have to admit, that times aren't what they use to be. The "hood" mentality is slowly encroaching on the outdoors.  Given that fact, it is our responsibility to be cautious in what we do and where we do it.  Yes, it sucks, but it is what it is.  Be prepared or be a victim, because things aren't going to get better.

The guy didn't leave an ice auger or a pack basket full of traps in plain sight, they stole his f-in woodstove!!!  What's next the front door?

Lol I shouldn’t laugh but you’re right. It’s ridiculous.

Walmart and amazon get billions of dollar tax cuts while I pay out the ass for taxes.. ahhhh the republican way

A game camera with an infrared flash mounted somewhere in a shack gives a nice picture for evidence. Too bad a person has to worry about shacks being broken into.

Bingo! We have a winner! Sorry for your loss but a trail camera hidden would have busted them. I turned over several photo's to the Sherriff's Dept on Monday morning. Somebody is in Big trouble. I have cams on all my stuff.

Not really sure how a home made stove has value worth stealing besides the "It's Cool factor?? It was welded together from scrap steel from a mobile home! They left the pipe, my chisel, and a rock bar. So had nothing to do with scraping anything. They saw it, they wanted it, they took it! Camera, 12 guage triggerd to the door. Both will flash when going off at night!!

[Linedogg104]

Sounds fine and dandy. But, it's illegal to booby trap with guns.

[Fish2kill]

Drugs come in from the city, get distributed to bored folks in rural areas for top dollar, rural folk run outta top dollar, and my augers gone.

[The3Ps]

Ya no kidding! Just as stupid as stealing a home made woodstove! Guess you got my point!  I'm not about to do that, any more than they should have stolen my stove!! I'm mad and venting and I'll just make another one out of more scrap ! It had more sentimental value than any other. Just like my dog, I'll get past it.

It's not illegal to have a really crapty door
