You know we could sit here all day and talk about how to get back at the theives and personnally I could come up with some pretty under handed ideas to make them sorry and mad they touched my stuff....... But MidAge is right.....
The POS life that these people lead will do nothing but come back and retaliate against you just because they have nothing else to do and also because they can.......... Quick Story along the retaliation thing,,,,,,
Early in my life on the lake me and my youngest were coiming into our slough on the seadoo and a small basss boat with about 4-5 "kids" were coming out of the slough..... I said hello and kept going but as I got near my house there were mt dewe bottles floating around in the water,,,,, I knew it wasnt mine so I spun around and pulled up next to the guys and politly asked if they were drinking mt dew and one of them had same bottle in hand..... I said I would appreciate it if they would come back and get their trash and then stay out of the slough........(I sounded like any dad back in my teenage day) anyway I came back to my pier and looked to see if they were picking up like I asked and they had sped off..... Ticked me off so bad I took off after....Caught up to them ideling into another slough..... Said listen guys if your gonna be like this stay the heck away and dont let me catch you back in my slough or we are going to have a problem...... being pi$$ed like I was I spun the seadoo around and washed a huge wave over the back of the bass boat and returned home...... That night they came back and emptied a whole garbage can full of empty battles and cans onto my pier....... My neighbor said he heard them and yelled at them and they left.....
Personally I remember my days as a teenager and in the same situation I would have done the same or worse..... the Back At Cha was kind of funny because it was done once and no real damage was done.....
Anyway I have always been concerned any night I leave my toys in the water...... I do suggest making friends with your neighbors for an extra set of eyes..... I park my boat so the gas cap is against the pier......
Back years ago someone put out a cheap device aimed toward women protecting their purses. They would attach one end to the purse and one ind to themselves and if a theif snatched the purse the contacts would seperate and a loud shreil alarm would sound until you attached the contacs together again. If anyone has seen these lately I would like to know because if you could attach to a gas can, a seadoo or anything just to make a noise to deter the situation the better off you will be......
Just my rambling $.02
Be out saturday night and sunday.....
