I had a car stolen with fishing gear in it. It's a long shot but are any of the reels either a calcutta, stradic, and/or a sedona? (Shimanos)
I wasn't fishing that day ofcorse but the police have been unsuccessful in locating my car or the contents in it. And it was stolen in that vicinity. Just a yes or no will do. Thank you for trying to return someones lost stuff. We need more people like you and way less theives. I had gifts from deceased relatives in that car including some of that gear. I'd trade the car for the contents in it in a heart beat. I'd also trade the rods/reels that I had for the tackle that was lost
