Really sorry to hear about this. Once the list is posted, I'll keep an eye out on ebay as I'm on it often enough to scope out any of those items lost. You don't happen to have any of the rod serial numbers do you? I know abel marks its reels, and Sage, Winston and others mark the rods even though the Sage serials are hard to see.
Hope they catch whoever the perp was, and unfortunately, they are at least aware of the value of the items which is surprising if they aren't flyfishermen.
I read your blog entries on getting a theft system installed after you lost two Sage rods. I think I'd do this for sure now.
"Should you cast your fly into a branch overhead or into a bush behind you, or miss a fish striking, or lose him,or slip into a hole up to your armpits-keep your temper; above all things don't swear, for he that swears will catch no fish."
