One of my good neighbors here in Troy seems to have reached in my car window open for ventilation, unlocked it and stole all my fishing tackle. Every bass pike and trout lure I own (about 100), about 10 bags of senkos, all my tools, knives and scale. All my rigs, hooks, swivels and sinkers. Unopened Rapalas. Even my license and Tomhannock and DEC permits. All I got left is a flashlight, a wacky rig tool, and two splitshots I left in my pocket. Thank god i didn't have the camera in there.

Just a word of wisdom from one who got their ass burned- keep your gear in the house or in your trunk. You never know what lowlife scuzzbag is going to see it and take it. And don't open your window more than about 2 inches. All I can hope for is karma will take care of this scum, maybe he'll catch a treble hook in the eye or impale himself on my filet knife.

I am sorry to hear that. I had the same thing happen to me 2 years ago, but they broke the window. The next day, I saw the s-bag walking down the road with my backpack on and carrying 2 of my rods. When I stoipped my truck to get out he went running away.

Sometimes we just can't win.

If you lived in Pittsburgh they would of stolen the car and everything inside!

My truck was stolen 15 years ago and had a tackle box that belonged to my grandfather, a box of snap on tools, 2 sunglasses worth over $100 each(if you drive a lot Serengeti glasses are worth the money) another $300 worth of darts, shotgun, pistol, at least 20cd's AND 2 FULL TANKS OF GAS.
When I filed the insurance claim I had no idea what the old lures were worth so I just looked in a catalog for ones similar.
I felt almost guilty for claiming $2.50 - $4 for the old lures.
A few months later I found that I was way off-most were vintage collectibles in original box worth $30-$75 each

I hope your stuff turns up ok.

Thats rotten you hate to hear about that stuff. The worst part about it is that is has to be someone that you have seen. When I lived in St. Thomas someone cut the roof of my jeep open to steal all the Christmas presents that my fiance and I had just bought. They even stole Christmas ornaments. They left all of my fishing gear though.
