[pancakes_and_haggis]

Get onto the police mate so u have a good chance at claiming! Sorry to hear that

[taib]

They couldnt of missed the AFO stickers on both cars so if you have joined and reading my post, i invite you to come over my place again pricks

[Surfingant]

Bloody bastards :evil: like Callum says get onto the cops but unfortunately I don't think they can do much other than take fingerprints. Do you have home and contents?

[taib]

The area is Inala. so just to warm other fishos living near by.

[Baptism]

inala isnt a very safe area

[Surfingant]

inala isnt a very safe area

Really? Having lived in or around the area my whole life I think it has come a hell of a long way. I don't feel any less safe in Inala than I do in some other suburbs of Brisbane. Also it is not only Inala where robberies occur.

What a mongrell. I have plenty of gear that you can borrow till insurance comes good or you can afford to replace.

No hurry to return

Cheers

Good to know Taib - That what my dog is for.

I am an Inala-ite too and know the feeling. My car got broken into last year. A hyundai excel. The idiots couldn't get it started :-)

I hope you catch the Pricks!

bugger mate. were they just after the fishing gear? sounds like they knew what they were after.

one of the caveats of the internet, particular when people are proud of their quality tackle (i.e. rod/reels in photos). i have some advice if you want to pm me, won't post it publicly.

that's a good way to stop thieves nat, make sure it doesn't work!

[Bi_polar]

Might be worth looking at a few of the fishing areas closest to you over christmas.

Sorry to hear about you loss.

[Gary_C]

That really sucks mate, have you got a list of the items that went missing? I'll keep an eye out for anybody selling off a chunk of fishing gear.

Had around $3k of camping gear stolen from me back in the US. Shortly thereafter, somebody posted that they were selling around $2k worth of camping gear; sadly it wasn't my gear when I went and checked it out.

Hope things work out for you with insurance / cops.

[ellicat]

Sounds like an inside job. Check the good wife isn't just hiding your stuff to make you stay home over Christmas

Bugger Tai.

[Dubbzy]

Mod Note

Already deleted 1 post and a couple of others have been thought about. Remember this is a thread about stolen gear NOT a thread about bagging where someone lives or a "my suburb is better than that one" debate.

[buih87]

dont let it get to you man. it's xmas time.

[Keen-as-fisho]

Try and have a merry christmas Tai

[Jords]

That really sucks man

At least insurance should hook you up with replacements for all those certates and stellas you had in your garage :whistle:

[Scope]

Hard luck mate, check your pm's too

[taib]

Thanks for the support guys.

Well, coming from an insurance background if there is no obvious signs of break ins, the insurers usually ask a million questions.

I called the cops today and told them about it. they said that they will have an officer around in approx 1 hour as its low priority. I guess there is more important things to do. Told the operator, to not bother as i had to go to work.

Considering it was only approx $300- $400 in fishing tackle alone, it can be replaced easily. Had some rods on the rod holder but werent touched. Had my Nordics and certates in the boot of the car which is alarmed so they were smart not to touch the cars.

Didnt bother with insurance as i know what they will say with no police report, besides if i DID have one which will say "no signs of break in or damages". I will be wasting my time.

Glad to say, that some of my tackle has been replaced courtesy to chermside shopping centre's late trade. Still pised cos i had a box of very expensive lures which have not even gone for a swim yet taken.

Well, my garage is now wired with 2 motion sensors and 3 other rooms are also wired up.

The electric garage door is now basically bolted to the ground. (Still dumafounded as to how they got the garage door open???? maybe they have a univeral remote?)

The house has all the flood lights turned on.

I have also dug out my trusty old but razor sharp machette which is nicely placed next to my bed. Only 3 weeks to go before i move to a new secured premises.

xmas here so all smiles.... keep fishin and keep the reports comin.

Cheers
