    it was near demossville/butler area on the licking river car insurance doesn't cover anything not permanently attached to the car, homeowners might cover but its a long shot.

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I had the same thing happen to me about 15 years ago at the big south fork. Never got anything back and homeowners tried to settle for fraction of what it was worth ($1 for crankbaits and $10 for a new st croix rod I had just purchased for $100). Oh yeah, that was before I paid the deductible so I didn't file. Hope you catch the bast#rds, doesn't get much lower than that.

    Homeowners will cover ....replacement cost on personal property away from premises with a deductible.
    You will need to replace to get the replacement cost....depreciated value until you show copy of bill
    where you replaced with new items.

    Only if you have a GOOD policy.

    I don't jack around with worrying about it, and had a SPECIFIC rider added to my homeowners and boat policy that covers all my fishing gear.

    I call it my fishing gear policy, because it covers if stole at my house , or the hotel, or the boat, or my car, or the boat ramp........Or the campground.

    More importantly, it also covers it if I SINK my canoe and lose it all. Capsize in the boundary waters with 1000.00 of rods and reels and 500 worth of tackle. 100 dollar deductible, and it is covered.

    OUTLINE specifically what you want and need, and then take it to your agent.......

    I keep a zipplock baggie with a half dozen shotgun shells and a dozen or so .357 rounds in it. Whenever I park in backcountry areas that are susceptible to break ins I scatter them around on the dash and seats in VERY plain view letting anyone know that if i get back while they are there I'm probably packin. Knock on wood it's worked so far.

    This is why I like to fish where I can park my vehicle within site of where I fish

    Sorry for your loss. I hope they catch the thief(s). They should put them away for a while in a sticking jail and let them find out what it's like to lose their freedom.

    It's stories like this that make me sick! Are people so desperate that they have to resort to breaking into some one else's car and steal their fishing stuff. Low life's.

    Keep an eye on ebay and craigslist as well as the pawn shops. The stuff, or at least some of it, will likely show up there. At least if it does happen to show up online, you will have a starting point to find the pieces of #$%^.
