Essox
What a rotten shame. I hopr they catch the rotten SOBs I will deffenetly keep my eyes on the paper and Ebay for the items. But do yourself a favor and get ahold of your insurance company and get a claim in. This is a lot to lose and a lot of money to pull out of your pocket to replace.
I hope for the best for you
best of luck

Bob-Same message here as I posted on NESPORTMAN concerning secure E-Mails.Does Vermont have the law on their books about the "Right to Defend your Castle(Home)" IF so -the 30/30 should be close by.

DIRTY RAT *****S. That friekin s**ks man. I couldn't imagine. I'd be thinking murderous thoughts. Nothing pisses me off more than being stole from. Sorry man. I'm going to start locking my garage.

Esox, Sorry to hear that. It still amazes me that someone could do this and sleep at night.

backwoodswalker · « **Reply #6 on:** Dec 25, 2003, 11:31 AM »

That's the problem, These scum don't sleep at night. That is when most of them do thier dirty work. Worst part is some unsuspecting fisherman will end up buying this mans stuff from pawnshop or something. Thieves should have their sticky fingers cut off, let them go through life remembering what they did everytime they have to take a leak but have no fingers, serve them right. If you ever find out who did it I hope you take a ball bat to thier kneecaps. Some terrible people in this world.

That really stinks.

Maybe it being x-mas the guy would have a change of heart and think about what he did to you and return your stuff. That would make it a HAPPY HOLIDAY. Hope you get your gear back

ESOX Know how you feel. When I was in high school, my buddy and I took his little brother creek fishing. We had several fish on a stringer, in the creek & little brother had the biggest one. We hiked up the hill to watch the sun set and watch another fishertheif, fish up to our camp, steal our fish and drive away. How low can you get? Couldn't believe someone would do that, and we didn't have any fish for dinner. Hope you'll have happier tales to tell with new gear you'll get to replace the lost gear. afishingfool

Guys,
Thanks for all of the kind words. Considering the time of year, I'm sure my tackle has all been sold to get some "Christmas Cash". I don't hold much hope in finding the people who stole it. If is was sold, I hope the new owner gets as much joy out of it as I did.

Tight lines to all.....I'll be fishing on Jan 1st. I need to win some gear from the Iceshanty contest.

In the end do the one thing they can't steal from you, have a great Christmas knowing there are people like the ones who read and responded to your posts that care. See how really rich you are? Those theives don't have that. Merry Christmas to everyone.

Bob_D · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 25, 2003, 05:49 PM »

Charlie,
You are 100% correct. That is what I've been thinking all day. I had a wonderful Christmas day with my family. I hope you all did as well.

Bob

Esox, I can`t think of a more low down rotten act of cowardice bulls**t I`ve heard of in a long time!!!!!!!!! There are limits to what should be tolerated and there are three things in this world that should never be touched-A mans rifle-fishing equipment and his beer!!!!!!!!! Anyone who disregards any of these unspoken rules are fare game to any and all means of punishment. I truly hope you are fortunate enough to reclaim your gear or at the very least find the ones who did this. Best of luck to you, and if any good can be had from this, you can at least treat yourself to brand new equipment. I live in Maine, but I will keep my eyes and ears open.

Sorry to hear about this. I had a motorcycle stolen when I was in high school. Its just a awful feeling. Just try to feel better when you are replacing it all.

crappieloo · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 25, 2003, 06:33 PM »

Lousy pig f#$%$@#, I think they should have their fingers cut off with a auger than use their fingers for bait. I'D be down in the dimps too. I don't think you have to replace everthing imediatly, IM me i'L send you some tip ups.

Esox, sorry to hear about your misfortunes. Those jerks will get theirs some day. As for you, I think your last few posts put things in perspective. Family first along with good health makes any holiday worthwhile and the loss of material things less painful. I believe that people that are hurt the way you are some day get rewarded somehow to make up for it. Hope it happens for you real soon and you enjoy the holidays despite the recent events. Any time you want to come down to PA and meet us I'll be happy to cut holes for you!

bushbunny · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 26, 2003, 03:48 PM »

Rotten SOBs!!! Maybe whoever got the equipment probably saw how it worked for you, and felt that it would do a better job than his. Every black cloud has a silver lining, in that you will replace the replaceables with probably better quality, however the irreplaceables, like so many other things will still piss you off when you look for them!!!

smeltshack · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 26, 2003, 04:15 PM »

Man that is just awful: and just before X-mas too. I'll keep my ears and eyes open down here in Maine for yah. However like you said, its all probably sold for Christmas Cash. I'd keep an eye out becuase thieves will strike again if they get a chance (GREEDY SUCKERS!!. Maybe you could do a stake out of your shack and catch them this time.
Anyway good to see you will be out on Jan 1st.

Wyoming_Ice · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 26, 2003, 07:10 PM »

Esox,
I am also sorry to hear about this terrible stunt!
In your own yard!!! That just makes me sick.
I am also in favor of the BIG bear trap with the teeth on the jaws...In Wyoming, you only have to check your traps every 72 hours...
Regards and Good Trapping,
Wyo Ice

ESOXX: I know how that feels I had my suburban stolen from my drive way this summer. The little piece of s#*t totaled it, he'd only been out of jail a month. I belive that what goes around comes around the scumbags that stole your fishing gear will get their's! File your insurance claim and now you will know just what gear to buy.
