Coe, when my bassboat was stolen along with all my tackle, it was very eye opening. For two years I talked to every lowlife I saw in a store or gas station. I offered a cash reward. Finally one told me he knew who had done it. It was two teenagers. Well when I called the detective, he turned on me. I was shocked he didn't welcome my help. In fact he accused me of being involved.
Finally the teenagers were arrested and both ordered to pay me $150 each restitution for the thousands I lost in tackle alone. The boat was returned. They had removed the factory Hydra Sports decals and replaced them with Javelin decals. Duh! Long story short the only one that got jail time was their uncle that received the stolen property. I hope you have better luck.
from talking to folks, mine is more than likely long gone out of the state
they load them up on an 18 wheeler full and ship them off to Atlanta
