    Thefts at Lake Guntersville, be aware!

    Last Thursday night, Friday morning, I had over 6k in gear stolen from my locked boat. Several others were hit as well. There is a post in the Bama forum on this if you wish to read more on it. I will keep that thread updated. http://www.bbcboards.net/alabama-bas...tersville.html

    When I go away from my home and spend the night somewhere else, all the equipment comes into the room wherever I am staying.
    That being said, I hope you get your stuff back.

    That's covered in the thread as well. Thanks for the wishes Brad (and everyone in advance).

    Please give the thread a read if you are in that area or traveling to the area.

    Yep I read that. POS thieves don't care if something is locked, they will get to it.
    I agree with you on chopping off a hand...

    I would think if a club tourny was coming to town, why not hire your own security patrol and collect from ea. member for the weekend, a few extra dollars from ea. member would pay for a couple of guards for the night shift.

    It doesnt matter where I stay, everything of value comes out of the boat and into the room. Rods, reels, electronics, high dollar crankbait boxes. My stuff is worth my time to secure it.

    Sorry that happened Steve. Unfortunately I know the feeling.

    Man, I hate that for you! I used to go to Gville once per month but between the crowds, cheaters, and thieves I just couldn't take it anymore. I hope you recover via insurance or LEO 's.

    I got hit on the Arkansas river at little rock, and at t-bend, my truck at little rock and my boat at t-bend, and I mean they cleaned me out, I know it is a PITA but I take all tackle, rods, and finders into my room if I'm on the road, no body of water is immune, but I will agree we have way more than we should, I too will keep my eyes open and an ear to the ground for ya 93

    I find this runs in spurts, depending on the group of thieves involved and who is in jail. They caught a ring on Toledo Bend a while back, and figured they were involved in a lot of incidents. I have taken my stuff out my boat for years. it's a pain, but I don't want to take that chance. I have been to tournaments over the years where they hit different hotels and places, the last was up in Bossier City for a Red River Tx. I fished.
