Thieves At Galena Boat Ramp

[rangerman]

BD,

Did you file a report of your stolen stuff? If you didn't you need to.

Guys when you buy stuff, I know its a pain in the butt, but document all serial number information if applicable. If the items do not have a serial number mark it in a way that you can POSITIVELY identify it if it is recovered. I work alot of thefts from vehicles in my county, (franklin), at conservation accesses and alot of times the problem is that the victims don't have their items marked in a manner that it can be identified.

Prosecutors will generally not take a case unless the property is marked in a manner that it can be POSITIVELY identified by the victims. I have notebooks full of information in the event something of mine is taken.

I'm sorry for you loss.

The problem with working for a Sheriff's Office is we cover alot more territory than a muni cop. Here in Franklin, we have 10 guys on at once, with a average of 223 square miles per guy. Franklin is the 2nd largest county in the state. Its hard to patrol and run, domestics, meth labs and every other call you can imagine and get your patrol duties done.

I know Stone County is kind of aware of the problems down there, as I have seen them there patrolling in the area in the past.

Thanks for the reminder RANGERMAN....I told my wife and son what happened to BUBBASDAD...I am building a digital file with my new camera my wife got me for christmas last year...we have made lots of fishing and hunting videos. So now we are recording all our Fishnhunt gear and household items.

Keep up the good work RANGERMAN....and may GOD BLESS all you lawenforcement officers.
