Fisher Boat Cleaned Out on Nolin!!

[Trapper]

I have always heard about people having stuff stolen from their boats which are tied to their docks, but have never experienced it until today!!
My Dad just called me and told me that he checked his boat today and that everything was gone. They took the pedistals, seats on the pedistals, unscrewed the seats that you sit in while running and took those. Pried open the rod storage compartment and took about 6 rods. Took throw perservers, fire extinguisher, anchor, running lights. Tried to take the motor but thankfully it was bolted on! I can not believe they did not take the TM.

If anyone knows or sees anyone trying to unload a bunch of stuff, please PM me!

I have been trying to get Dad to buy a better boat for years, and this is what happens!

Boat was located about a mile above the no ski zone above Wax!

They'll get what's coming to them, one way or another. TRASH!

Report on the radio today said that auto burglaries are way up in the last few weeks as well. Contents like ipods, GPS's guns, laptops, cash, gas cards, etc.. and one bible, believe it or not. I don't think its a coincidence at all that all of this started when colleges let out for the summer and the way the economy is today. I know of several college kids that have been looking for summer work and can't find it. There's no excuse at all to take from someone else, but I think this is part of what is going on..

Duayne... i hope that you arent blaming all the theft on educated college students!!! because that is completely absurd.... i know there may be a few bad apples in the college student world but there are far more out there that arent educated that are more likely to steal.... I have a college degree and i am looking for work presently and that burns me to the core for u to say that thefts are on the rise because college students are out for the summer..... well highschool is out for the summer too and so is kindergarten... maybe its the kindergarteners that are stealing ipods and guns from cars...... that would be like me telling you that your opinion that thefts are on the rise because college is out, is a uneducated biased opinion about a culture that is trying to educate themselves in a way to better the world.....

Ryan..
Calm down ole buddy. I have nothing against educated people. If I did I would hate myself.. LOL I have a degree so this ISN'T a case of uneducated bias. High school JUST let out last week (here anyway) so it doesn't fit with the timing. The kindergartners probably all switched over to day care or have alibis from mom or the nanny.. All I am saying is that COULD be an explanation for the timing of why the rash started a few weeks ago. KIDS with nothing to do, no money in their pockets and no way to put any there. I am not saying all. I would guess its just a few if any at all. Good luck on the job hunt. I know its tough out there right now...

thats cool man it just kinda hit a nerve but its ok... if i was going to profile the rash of robberies on the increase i would say that a town has on average about 10 to 20 theifs and with the labor rate as low as it is of course the crime rate is goign to rise much like in the wild... when there is to many coyotes there is far fewer rabbits adn when there is more rabbits there is less coyotes in an area... in the criminal justice world we call it the pengilum.. I would think that the theives are becoming more bold and cocky and if the law was to catch acouple of these guys the crime rate would drop for a bit until someone fills the gap.... i would also believe thefts are on the rise too is because people at pawnshops and people who buy stuff like that have alot less money to spend so the theif is required to steal more to make up for lost profit... it all makes sense if u think about it. Another thing to look at on the crime rate too is in tough times like this domestic violence is going to rise also becuase families that can no longer afford to do will begin to quarrel and could lead to violence both mental and physical.... to put it all in perspective and make a long story short cause i just finished my degree in the fall at eku with a degree in crj so i like doing criminologist thinking and theories of why and follow up with researching a area and looking at the trends.... but here is about the best explanation i can think of..... when the money runs out the crap hits the fan....

Substance abuse rises in times like these, which accounts for the rise in crime. Something like 90% of crimes are substance-abuse related. People don't have money, but would rather spend it getting high or drunk than feeding their kids. Pathetic.

P.S. Sorry about your dad's loss.

The bad part is that law enforecment does their job and catches the thieves. Then before the officer exits the jail with the paperwork the piece of _ _ _ _ has someone post bond which is usually low for non-violent offenders. I have had this happen to me numerous times when locking up a thief. And i must say that a thief is near the top of my list with the sex offenders. It makes me wonder if it is worth risking my life in this job. Sorry to hear about your loss.
