loo10 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Have a friend of mine who had a 3.0 hp Gamefisher outboard stolen right out of his garage while he was mowing the grass this past weekend. If you hear of someone who just "happens" to now own a small motor... how about sending me a PM???? Appreciate it. He's brokenhearted that it's gone!! Thanks.

loo10 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 He was in the backyard on a riding mower and his garage door was open. I guess someone just pulled up, walked in, and stole it. Major marbles that's for sure. Love for this little fishing network to catch him!!!

motoman Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 That's a crying shame loo. - From what I hear, that's a very common method of theft. Dirtbags will even walk in the house while the homeowners mowing, to steal stuff. Sadly, the world is not what it used to be. Days of leaving doors open/unlocked are long gone. Not like when I was a kid. - This thread is worth keeping up top. I'd love to seee those fools caught here too!
FishinCricket Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 He local and outlying craigslist posts, call all the local pawn shops (and all the pawn shops you can, any place within 100 miles that might be a buyer for it).. File a police report, but don't rely on the cops to do all this research.. Best of luck to you! cricket.c21.com
Gavin Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 You might get it back if someone tries to register it. Good luck.
FishinCricket Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 You might get it back if someone tries to register it. Good luck. Or if someone is dumb enough to have it (unregistered) on the back of their boat. (this also assumes WP or MDC is smart enough to notice... Hopefully that isn't assuming too much on either end) cricket.c21.com
Members Gil Posted October 27, 2009 Members Posted October 27, 2009 Had a turd try stealing the tv off the wall in the garage last summer......and we were in the front yard! The wife and I were working in a flower bed. The neighbor saw the kid go through his backyard and sneek between the houses. Next thing we hear is "WTF do you think your doing punk?" The kid took off running but my neighbor was faster surprisingly.
patfish Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 One more good reason to have a pooch - in the garage.
