Increase in Rod & Reel Theft?

OK then we have a volunteer. We'll give you hmmm a blue a week

I think a little ID plate inside the butt would be a good idea though.

I'm not overly concerned about theft ... although I will start to bring less as if anyone broke into my vehicle, I'd hate to have all the plugs taken that I've worked so hard to buy or beg ... ... that that end, on most occassions, I have tried to curb back on what I bring on most fishing trips, unless I know that I can transfer it to the vehicle we may be riding on the beach with ...

Had one of mine stolen a couple years ago in Barrington. F'ing dirtbags. Granted i didnt have the rod in a very safe place, but still. people suck.

Hidden camera with features such as minature, digital, motion detected or rig up a trip switch, internal memory to capture image, 12 volts. Look on line and you may find a camera that fits your purpose.

Last night at the canal, the local police and the Staties were combing the service road and parking lots looking for a couple of "kids" robbing people. ( I can't use the term the local cop used to describe these "kids" to Ditch Jigger.)

Having been the victim of a hit on my truck in my driveway years ago I have since always travelled with a minimalist attitude.

If I driving out onto a beach I carry multiple rods and leave them on the rack if I fishing the canal, or parking lot hopping on the outer Cape it's one rod, one plug bag and a spare spool for the reel in my pocket. They are welcome to anything in my truck after that casue it won't amount to sh!t anyway.

Still, f^cking punks like that should be drawn and quartered but confronting them is not wise either especially if you are alone and there are more than one of them and even if it is only one of them kids these days, especially kids from questionable urban and suburban sections have a different attitude toward the use of a gun, kinfe or blunt instrument on yer ass.

TI originally developed the Mobil Speedpass to keep inventory on cattle of some sort. As they pass within a certain distance of a reader, their identification is read by a reader of some sort. Don't know the range you could get one to read, but it does sound like it had possibilities...
