This was posted on Craigslist this morning. Lots of Lacey/Oly boardmembers on here. Maybe somebody can help this fellow out.

I had several rods G Loomis', reels, & fishing gear stolen out of my garage from my girlfriends, daughters boyfriend. He admitted to stealing these items to both me & the police. He stated he met a person at the Lacey Walmart in which he made the sale. If this is you please contact me or the Lacey police dept. or if you have any information about these items. I would really like to get them back as the value is well over $2000 & he sold them for a mere $300. The police are involved and have a pending case turned over to the prosecuting attorneys office. Any info is appreciated. no questions asked I just want my gear returned. Thank you!!!

Sorry to hear that! I'm so sick of feeling like those of us that are honest are being held hostage by crime. It seems like when planning an outing or keeping valuable items in your own home you have to seriously consider the safety of you and your loved ones and/or personal possessions. Even if it's someone close to you or your family. It's a shame that we even have to think about it. I hope it works out for you and I hope the kid uses this as a turning point to turn his life around. Good luck CedarR!

It wasn't Cedar R who lost the gear.

Not my stuff Gooybob. If'n it were mine, we'd be looking for yellow rods, Shakespeare reels, and a Plano tacklebox loaded with tackle for everything that swims in North America. Like yourself, I hate thieves; that's why I posted this. Thanks for taking time to read it.

wow, I truly think that kid would have gladly called the cops on himself.......dating the daughter AND stole a bunch of loomis rods........what is with the youth today?
