For those of you that fish the Skykomish, be aware that there has been a number of vehicle break-ins and rip-offs as of last Sunday. A friend of mine informed me recently,that he lost $2,500 worth of gear near Sultan, and a friend of his was also hit. There has also been similar incidents at the Ben Howard launch. It could be the same Low-lifes operating the secluded parking lots. I was ripped off up at Reiter several years ago. Do yourself a favor and engrave your treasured gear with an electric pencil so they are identifiable, should they ever be recovered by the authorities. Never leave your valued gear in plain sight. I know this advice is common knowledge, but we never think about it until it's too late. I learned the hard way. Let's look out for each other, and if you witness any suspicious activity, ie: break-ins in progress, try to get a desciption and license plate number and report it to the local authorities. These SOB's won't stop until they're caught and may very well be sitting on a cache of stolen goods ... some of it could be yours. I don't advocate vigilante-ism but this type of crime should not be tolerated. Thanks for letting me rant.
