Thanks for the Heads up. Sorry to hear that your truck was damaged and things were stolen. Makes me want to get a tank or something that they can't get into easily. I read where someone down by Yankeetown,IN attacked the DNR vehicle and Trailer while it was parked on a remote launch ramp parking lot down by the Ohio River near the ALCOA plant. If they are not afraid to destroy DNR vehiles then what is this world coming too.

I have not been up to Patoka Lake since last spring. High gas prices are keeping me close to home. I had thought about one more trip this fall but this thread give me pause.

This story reminds me of a film showing bears in the National Parks breaking into vehicles to get food. Our vehicles are not a safe place to store valuables even when there are not bears around.

I hope that they catch the thief and that they have to pay restitution and get what they deserve.

There are still some good people out there. The other day I found out that my mom went to the store and left her purse on the top of her car as she drove to the store. Her purse was later found in the middle of the road by a young man. He called my mom and told her that he had her purse and she got it back. But someone stole 60 dollars in cash out of mom's purse. Anyone could have picked up the purse and taken the money before the young man found the purse. I told my mom that she is lucky that she got her ID and all the other papers back. The 60 bucks can be replace a lot easier than the drivers liscence, social security card, medical insurance cards etc. But she was still upset about loosing the money. LOL

Be careful where you park your car or leave your wallet these days.
