keep an eye on ebay and craigslist. one of my students had her camera bag stolen from her family's car in san fran and the idiot perp posted it a week later on craigslist! not sure what came of it after authorities were called though.

was this gear stolen off a boat?

I had my fishing yard sale fundraiser a couple of Saturdays ago that was a big success that I posted here. When I cleaned up I noticed one of the custom rods I had out was taken. Just goes to show that almost everybody that showed up was very supportive and had a good time and went home with some nice gear while helping a great cause. Only takes one person to put a damper on things. Sad part is if person was so down on his/her luck that they needed to steal rod I probably would have just given them a rod.

People really suck! We buy and deal in used tackle, but I ask for Drivers License, and several questions along with other ID. We have already found 2 different guys who have tried to sell stolen tackle and had it returned to the rightful owners. I can tell when they get uneasy, or I say I am running it against the Pawn List of stolen goods. The both said they were going to their car to get something and took off. ;) While we didnt actually catch them.... the gear was returned.

Check the local flea markets too. I heard somebody was just snagged 2 weeks ago on RT 70. So keep that in mind. I will keep an eye out Rich....... will let you know if we see it. :mad:

Unless it was another fisherman thats going to use the equiptment which is highly unlikely. ..its most likely a drug addict who make up for a very very high percentage of thefts. Local pawn shops are the place to go.

Cliffwood beach, along the bay is a popular place to sell stolen gear. They walk and ask whoever is fishing if they want a "good deal" on fishing gear. I usually call the game warden when they are walking around with gear in hand. Young druggies lookling for a quick fix $$$$.

I know you would have given them that rod as well that sucks Alex. That person had to be one real lowlife. I'll keep my eyes open if I see anything that doesn't like right I'll let you know Jersey Coast.
