stolen rods

#1 Post by eeler »

conoflex source estuary match
conoflex viking raider
anyfish anywhere universal rod
ian golds supermatch extra fx
diawa whisker fly rod
and a penn 525 mag


the source has two reel seats on it and plenty of scratchs.
the viking raider has a few scratchs and new coasters and had the penn on it.
the ian golds is in a padded rod bag and like new.
the afaw is like new.
the fella that robbed them was seen on a pushbike, ransacked the van and took some money and the flyrod before going around the back of my house and taking the beach rods out of the garden and cycling off with them strapped to his back at half four this morning.
he left a fishfinder, gps, and other stuff in the van.
if anyone is offered them or hears anything send me a pm please.

i would check Car boot sales, Hockshops. But i am sorry to say this sounds like they were stolen by someone who wants to fish with them.

Park a van short distance away, on your bike, get the swag , back to the van, bike & Swag back into van. Van gone to Big car boot sale.

How did they know your stuff was there ? Local renter or Workman working on Neighbors house ?

Very very hard to accept an attack on your premises like this,, hope you get your stuff back and lock it all up in future, just like guns.
