I should have known better. My summer condo is hidden way back behind a marina. It is about 8 minutes thru a no wake zone. Everyone leaves their water toys on the boats back there. My rods should be safe overnight laying down in the bottom of the boat, right?

Wrong...Tuesday morning I went down to my boat to find six striper rods stolen. Two Okuma leadcore reels on ugly sticks, three Okuma downline rigs, and one Shimano Tekota on a BPS saltwater rod. I filed a police report with Forsyth County for what it is worth.

I have a strong suspicion as to who did it...and evidence that they came by land, not water.

What a shame. How do people go to sleep at night?

We rented a little one bedroom condo for the summer this year instead of taking our normal vacation. I usually spend 2 days a week at the lake. I don't know what's worse, the financial loss or the fact that I have to lug all my gear back up the hill every time I come in now!

Funny thing is that I had gone out on the lake Monday night and did not get back in until about midnight. When I got up Tuesday, I had a bad feeling when I saw that someone had turned the dock light on.

Man I hate it for ya. Thats horrible. I worry every time I stop and eat or stop at a gas station. If we could start shooting that stuff would stop. I cant believe they turned the lights on.

$h*t like this makes me so mad i can't see straight. Once a thief allways a thief. He will pay the ultimate price on judgement day.

I kept my boat for about a month at my brother dock. Hated toting everything everytime. Gas, bait, rods, graph, food, beer, ice, etc. Never again. Maybe if the boat had rod lockers, and I had a side by side.
