Theiving F$%#
Submitted by carassius on Wed, 2008-03-26 18:53
Got woken up to my Bull Mastiff going absolutely mental bout 3am this morning, some bugger was in my boat tryin to thieve my sounder! My faithful & loyal mate kept the would be thief entertained & stuck in the boat I think, untill stupid me turned on the kitchen light to which he jumped straight out over the fence (approx a 1.5m distance between them) tripped over the barbed wire top & face planted next doors front drive, got up & piss bolted!! wish I had of caught the f%$^&*. Got home this arvo from work & have now put up a 10000v electric fence!! Hope for a repeat attempt if he's game!!!!
Have to say, I have now removed all gear incl rods & sounder from boat when not in use!! A very lucky lesson learnt >8|

Pity
your dog didn't get hold of him. From some of the posts on here it seems like there might be gangs going around robbing from boats.

I never keep anything of value in my boat, when not in use.
I always keep it insured and use a trailer lock. I think if they really want to steal it they will! But as long as im not home when they try or they may not leave!!!!!!

Definatly take all valuables
Definatly take all valuables out the boat. This is why these crack heads go around doing this because so many boats have rods/reels/sonders and gps left on board especially from the night before a trip.
Same goes for cars. I laugh when i see GPS still stuck to a windscreen in cars in shopping center carparks!
Crims go from car to car and look for this! I even knew a crim who would look for the suction marks on the windscreen and that was all he needed to smash a window and search the car because 99.9% people hide gps or cd faces under the seat or glovebox.
Thesee easy to get rid of items will ive the crims there $50 pack of ice etc to support there habit!
I say vigilanty method will teach them!

My step dad works with a bloke who had his gps stolen out his car at work and they turned it on and followed the gps back to his house and robbed it while he was at work!

yeh all I can say is take
yeh all I can say is take the extra 10 minutes to empty everything out of your boat. we had ours searched but no result in gear so they decided to go for the flush mounted stero then wen that wouldnt come out they just broke it...
some people hay... they will take wat they can get.
