Stolen Gear Alert

[Yard Sale]

Yeah. Pretty much ends the season for me unless I can source new gear quickly. Got a line on a Death Star, though.

I've got a 7127 and a salmon 2 you can run as long as you want to.

Also have an Echo E3 13'6 8wt and a big old speedster(4?) if you wanna go that route too.

I get sssoooo bummed when I read/hear of this BS. We take years getting the equipment that marries our style, budget with our capabilites.

Jake you did not deserve this!

The perps deserve getting a treble hook with large barbs set into their balls HARD....

If you have home owner‘s insurance, your personal property insurance will probably provide some protection for you, less the deductible.

My State Farm insurance policy paid me the replacement cost on fly gear that I lost several years back. As an example, some of the rods and reels that I lost might have cost me $100 when I bought them years back, but the comparable items cost $1000 to replace, and my insurance paid me $1000 when I replaced them.

Such a bummer, so sorry to hear this. Hoping against hope the catch the MFer.

Sorry to hear of your loss Jake, these tweakers need to be caught and made to take the punishment. Trouble is the courts do nothing to deter them from doing it again. These tweakers need to be keel hauled at the least and then fed to the sharks..

 

[SculpinSwinger]

I will keep my eyes peeled, really sorry to hear about this.

If anyone sees a too-good-to-be-true deal on the following gear, it might have been mine right up until dinner time tonight. After that, it became the property of some fucking tweaker asshat in Port Angeles who broke my back side window.

Burkie 7127-4 classic blue with titanium hardware serial unknown

Burkie 8134-4 classic green with titanium (?) hardware serial unknown

2 Hardy 7/9 wide Perfects with only slight rock and boat rash.

May I ask where you were to avoid the area?

I have a Remington Dually, 8 line 13 foot 6. I know it not any where close to what you lost but it’s yours for what I picked it up for, never seen the water. I put a reel on it but it was more than I could handle. $100. I’m in PouLsbo. Drop me a PM if your interested

 

[Jake Watrous]

Thank you all for your kindness and the very generous offers of gear to use. I’m still wrapping my head about next steps so if I don’t reply right away to you or if I miss someone please accept my apologies and my gratitude.

DowntownPort Angeles. Don't want to name the business whose lot I was in as it's not their fault and though I trust you folks I don't trust the internet to not show this post when someone looks up reviews/what not.

 

[Bob Rankin]

That sucks man, I hope you are able to recover your Burkie’s and Hardy’s. This shit piss’s me off! It’s happened to me. You just don’t fuck with another man’s vehicle!

Do you have the serial numbers?

You contacted the police right? The PA police department is made up of really good people. There is a FB marketplace that is well used here and I’d keep an eye out there. I live in PA and can be a point of contact if needed. PM if I can be of help.

 

[DoesItFloat]

Someone who would break a window to steal a Burkheimer doesn't have the class to even be in the same room as one. Sorry that happened.

 

[Stonedfish]

That sucks.
Might be worth contacting Waters West in case they hear or see anything regarding your gear.

I did. There may be a development that they're going to follow up with me on later today.
Thank you for the offer of being a point person. I may take you up on that, just a lot of phone calls and folks in the mix already I'm trying to keep track of.

Good idea, thanks.

Sorry it's happened to you. It's a pretty crappy feeling.

 

[Jake Watrous]

I don't know how much I'm supposed to/should comment on what I'm told is an active investigation, not that I have a lot of information, but apparently there are some encouraging developments that may result in the capture of the person and, fingers crossed, the return of my gear.
