Two or 3 years ago fishing up at the Rainy River a guy in the same hotel as me had left his Ranger attached to his truck in the back lot and had everything stolen out of it.. Fortunately I had backed mine into a spot by the front door and disconnected it. If I had parked in the trailer spots in back I probably would have met the same fate.

This thread hits hard with me as my boat and gear were stolen from my dock here in Florida just three weeks ago to the day. I'm recently retired and not doing well with this loss. One thing I learned (the hard way) is to update your coverage as your adding upgrades to your boat. This never dawned on me and now I'm out a terrova, helix and three bank charger among other things. Live and learn I guess.

Had my tie down straps stolen
A few year back I stayed at a motel on my way fishing lake Erie. Got up the next morning drove a couple miles to launch boat. Removed cover and went to remove straps and the straps were gone.
Was pretty sure that straps were on boat when I left home. Glad I had an extra set of ratchet straps in truck to get me home.

I was physically ill for a number of days. It was my 1st brand new completely equiped boat. I sold everything left at basement prices as i couldn't stand to look at it anymore. Our home owners insurance only gave us $2000. The sheriffs dept found the motor when someone dropped the dime 2 months later. It was stolen for drug money, they had it listed on Craigs list. My name was engraved on the SS steel prop and under the cavitation plate. Since then everything with a serial number has been documented with pictures and insurance updated. I truly feel your pain.

My garage was broken into and my fishing stuff was stolen 2 years ago. Long story short...TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING!!... I had some credit card receipts of a G-Loomis and some E-bay purchases made, but pictures is what they really want. I actually came out ok, got a decent check from the Ins., and then later found some of my stuff down the street. Also seen a bunch of my cranks for sale on Bismanonline

I shot a video with my phone, just sat in my boat one day and filmed everything while narrating what was what. Went through every rod, tackle box, electronics, etc.

I had a 6 gallon outboard motor gas tank stolen out of my boat once. I guess I am lucky, but they are not cheap either.

Went camping in the Upper Peninsula of MI. Went out on the kayaks and left my rods outside the tent in a hard gun case that I used to transport them. Came back off the water about 30 minutes later and noticed the case was gone. Several rods, but only one reel. Made a police report but never did the insurance thing (deductible never would have been used). Never got anything back. As an LEO, I should have known better.

My last boat was broken into while tied to the pier in Northern Wisconsin on a spring fishing trip. They took my starting battery, anchors, Bow mounted trolling motor, and some fishing gear. I then made a home built security system with pizzo sirens, magnetic reed switches, and a circuit board. I solt that boat since with the system in it. My new boat has the same type of system with switches on all of the doors, even the locked ones. Once I activate it, sirens will go off if any of the hatches/doors are opened until I go down and turn it off. My TM has a lock on it. I must keep 15+ rods and tons of tackle in it. It's a good feeling to know you are protected. Whole system maybe cost $150, with the switches being the major cost followed by the tinned wire. Get ripped off once and spoil a week long trip and you will know why I did it.
