***reward For Stolen Equipment***

Sorry about your stuff. Hope it shows up and they catch the ^&(%(&( who took it.

Had an outboard stolen out of my driveway a few years ago. I feel your pain and anger! Hope you find whoever did it. For me after a while it wasnt about the stuff it was about being stolen from.

I've been watching closely. According to the Sheriff's Dept, a lot of stolen fishing equipment has been showing up at flea markets and swap meets. They found a bunch stolen from Springfield down in Nixa a while back, so I am getting my time in at the flea markets too. I think at this point, given the choice between getting my stuff back and having 5 minutes in a dark alley with the theif.......I would have to seriously think about it.

Thieves are low life. But they are good at what they do. I remember onetime down on wappapello at holiday landing they stole 3 or 4 heavy 150hp outboards right off the back of bass sitting in the docks. Can you imagine how they must have done that. They had to have a boat with a winch among other things.

If you don't find it, here is a pretty good tip. Either call or email Shimano and explain what happened. Tell them of your buying history and the reels you need replaced. I will bet you a quarter they will send you a VIP CARD for the purchase of some new equipment. It is a 50% off card and can be used thru Shimano direct.

I know of no other company that does this. Shimano does and has many times in the past. Truly a reason to purchase their fine equipment.

It is worth a try. They have done it for me and several other area fisherman. They completely replaced a set of fire damaged equipment for a friend.

Good LUck

RS... If this works, let me know. I'll start buying Shimano. I'll support a good company anyday.
