That's a lot of stuff! They must have been there for a while. Funny no one saw anything.

I hate thieves. This just makes me sick. Good luck recovering some of the merch, I would love to see these guys caught.
Fishing is the most wonderful thing I do in my life, barring some equally delightful unmentionables.

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."

Wow... so sorry to hear this. I hate thieves more than any other criminal. I'd rather be shot dead than have my rods stolen!! Hopefully insurance will help a little? Its tough enough for tackle and fly shops to stay open without this kind of crap. I'll try to stop by sometime soon to provide some "economic stimulus."
