I got my rods and reels back today, along with the tackle box, after posting a bunch of signs around the neighborhood offereing a $100 reward. The person who returned it was probably the thief, but he said he found it stashed in a ravine not far from where it was taken. Considering the stuff was worth nearly five times that much, I'm just happy to have it back. I still need a new chair and my headphone radio, though. I don't care. I'm just happy because I thought I'd never see it again.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWESOME!

Ain't it great to hear a good ending to such a crappy situation?
You're right, it probably was the thief who returned your stuff. Too bad you could't administer a good a@@ kicking with the reward $$$

I'm glad to hear to had your stuff returned
