I think, as being that I have been in the charter industry in Neah Bay for 10 years and my wife Bubs for 7 of those 10 years, and residing there 5 months out of each year, that your property is at least as safe there as it would be in Sekiu. Actually, I had four rods/reels stolen when living at Olsen's last year (2002) but luckily there was witnesses to the theft and I was able to handle the situation myself. I was staying at Olsen's most of that summer. They were accually tourist fisherman if you can belive that, in their 20's I'd guess. I got 'em back within 15 minutes after they were taken.
Chris and I fish with each other in our free time and I'd bet he'd say the same.
The cooler thefts are a tradition amongst the kids on the rez. Apperently, that tradition has gone on for years. Just a few dumb kids won't let it go, but I haven't had anything stolen yet. Strange things happen to kids when they need to keep themselves amused I guess.
