Man my luck has GOT to change!

Well my friends, it's been a BUSY BUSY summer for me. I've been on here as much as possible but am spending most of my free time in the mountains or on the river.

However, my luck has seemed to have gone south for the winter! To start, I had about $1000 worth of fishing gear stolen from my house a month ago. Sturgeon rods, Steelhead rods, and all my other poles. Plus two full tackle boxes worth of gear.

Then the REAL kicker! I lost my wallet while out fishing with my youngest son last Thursday. I looked for it all night and when Friday morning rolled around I started calling my credit card companys, banks, etc to report the loss. That's when I was told that during the night some SCUMBAG had cleaned me out. Both checking and savings accounts were down to near zero ($13 left)!!!!!!

Since that time I have spent my time on the phone, talking to detectives and various Sheriff's offices (Cross state and cross county thefts). I just cannot believe that this has happened! Luckily my house payment, truck payment, and most of the bills for this month had already been paid. However, things are going to be TIGHT this hunting season until/if this gets resolved. I may have to skip my annual Idaho Whitetail hunt too dangit!

Anyway, just venting. I guess I'll have more time to visit with you all here though...LOL. My loss, your gain.

Sorry to hear about your run of bad luck Hawk. I was frauded once and lost everything in my accounts too luckily I didn't have all of my fishing gear stolen to boot. I was able to get every cent back thank God so I am sure you will be able to as well. It will probably take a while though.

Dang Hawk.....that terrible. I feel for you man! I believe most banks and credit card companies will reimburse your loss once a report is genrated and furnished to them.......make sure you check on that!

I'd be more upset about the fishing gear. My wife had her purse stolen a little while back and the scum that did it ran up some charges and got some money out of our bank. We ended up getting all the money back in the account and all charges dropped.

It didn't take too long, maybe a couple of weeks or so.

I don't think you'll get your fishing gear back but you will get your money back. Keep your head up.

dang HAWK, sorry to hear about your bad run of luck, and just to know it's going to get worse, ( well with fantasy football coming and me going to whoop everyone)...


just a small wise crack:)

really though, my 2 bits of advise, first - your homeowners/renters insurance will cover your fishing gear, thats what it's there for. you shouldn't eat all that gear yourself. if you haven't , i'd call TODAY.

2nd, it will take some time, but in the end99% of the time you should get all your money back into your accounts and any small hits of credit damage erased. but it will take a little while.

i sure hope it turnes around for you, i'm looking forward to your annual whitetail hunt, it always makes for good pictures and a story.
good luck to you bud! :thumb

Thanks guys...and a_bow_nut, the pic is AWESOME!

Great news this morning! The detective called me this morning to inform me that he now has a suspect and vehicle from one of the ATM cameras!!! However, the times that the bank gave me for the other ATMs are not matching. Therefore, I am calling the bank again this morning to see if I can get it straightened out. I want the detective to get these bastards (pardon the french) on as many cameras as possible.

However, the news is just what I wanted to hear. I'll do whatever it takes to get these idiots behind bars.

Hawk, I hope they can find the guilty party and you can get everything restored.

Sorry to hear that! Give the Detectives some time. With technology now, it is making it harder for criminals to get away with stuff like that. I'd stick to hunting this fall. I think it would do you a ton of good!
