Thank you all for your kind words/thoughts. I'm going to try to get the canoe finished and make an early transition to lake fishing while I wait for my gear's return.
Thank you.That's some good news Jake. In case you don't get it back as soon as you need it, count me as another with some loaner gear you can use.
Might do that. Hopefully I have them back by then.Great news! It will be interesting to see how long they keep your stuff. Courts move pretty slow but maybe the guy calls Saul and pleas out quickly.
If your summer season starts on a Columbia trib and you still don't have them back there is a 7127 you can run. I should give the MKS some love anyway...
There's actually a pretty good story involved in this that I hope to share at some point.Well on the bright side, unless you’ve caught some world record fish or we’re dealing with an extra skinny tweaker, pound for pound this might be your gear’s biggest catch.
Sorry about all the headache, man.

In good time, I promise. I want to be sure I've all the facts--or at least what have been determined to be the facts. Plus, every story deserves an ending and this one is still in development.We need the story……
No I have long advocated, put them in a set of waders, no belt, make them swim across any of our major rivers in winter, if they make it to the other side and survive they are free to go.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..
As Yeates put it, "think where a man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends."I was ready to pile on with another set of loaner gear, and I gotta say it's heartwarming to see how ready the foks here are to share gear.
Hi Sarge,Jake, if the local gendarmes operate basically operate the same way we did in Seattle, then one of their detectives should have been assigned the case. If you have your case number available, get a hold of the detective. He/she will be the one to determine whether or not it can be released back to you. Since you don’t know if the detective has any type of case going, including a suspect identified, that will factor into if and when you get this property returned. An issue that may arise has already been mentioned in that there are no identifying PIN’s that proves the items are yours. Of course the flipside is that it’s highly unlikely that there are any like items in their property room at this time. Good luck and don’t get too discouraged if that police department can’t, or won’t release the items to you. Rules and regulations supersede common sense all the time. Frustrating and ridiculous but that’s just the way it is. Good luck.
So did you have to put a dollar in the swear jar everytime you picked your kids up from school and they saw your car?"Not Horace Mann F*cking Sucks", that was probably me.
