BOAT STOLEN- HELP PLEASE!!

Everyone,

I spent hours packing our boat for vacation to Leech Lake for a week and last night someone stole our 2003 18.5 ft Crestliner Fishhawk, black with Khaki, 2003 model, Yamaha 115 4-stroke. It has a Lowrance LCX 17M Ram mount, Minnkota 80 thrust on front, Karavan Trailer, pretty common Fishawk color scheme and trailer, but it stands out as There are smallmouth and Largemouth stickers on all sides, and a big one on the driver side of boat and on back of boat. There is a G-loomis logo/sticker in Red/White/Blue on passenger windshield, and a Jimmy D’s River Bugs sticker on Driver’s windshield. The cover/step on boat passenger side, (car, driver’s side) will be pretty damaged as they smashed it against a tree when they drug it out of my driveway and the light was ripped off! I had 2 carrot stix rods with $100 reels on both, 2 G-Loomis Bronzebacks at $250 a piece with $150 Diawa Reel on one and a $100 prodigy reel on the other, 1 Lamiglass 7ft crankbait rod $150 rod, $150 old style curado reel, 6.6ft St. Croix casting rod with same Curado, Spider wire rod/reel baitcast set up, both my son and daughter’s ugly sticks, plus every single piece of tackle, leatherman’s tools, knifes, fishing licenses, tons of rapalas, spinner baits, etc. I do not have one piece of fishing equipment that wasn’t in that boat. Kids bikes, 5 yr old boy Black/Silver/Red looks like a dirtbike/motocross looking thing, all our golf clubs, suitcase full of my son’s and daughter’s clothes…. I could go on and on but PLEASE when your at the landings and on the lakes around the state like i was going to be, please look at trailers in the lots and boats on water for what I am missing and call 911 and then me on my cell phone 763-258-4615.

I appreciate it greatly as I have lost a great deal here!!!

I’m sorry to hear of your loss. If you have a photo or two of your boat, please post those photos. A picture is worth a thousand words and will go a long way to helping people ID you rig.

If you have any issues posting those pics just email them to [email protected] and I’ll make sure I can get them here online.

Again, I’m sorry to hear this happened to you and your family.

where are you at or what region? I’ll be sure to be on the look out, but not sure if the low lifes are headed this way.

Jeremy, I took the liberty of also posting your notice over on Walleye Central. What is the hull registration #, in case somebody see’s the rig on the water?
HRG

My Hull says MN 0968 JN

Authorities have it registered with DNR and you know drill, if something shows up Yeah, otherwise working on replacing it all with Insurance!!

One annual vacation for one week, those memories don’t happen this year for kids!!

That sucks. Hope you get it back or the guys that took it fall out and sink. Cant even imagine the day you are having today. Ill keep a eye out for it.

Jeeez. Hope you had good records for the insuranc. Can’t believe someone would resort to that. Going to update my list of what I own, have been hearing a lot of theft stories lately, but the whole boat. I know what I would have been doing….

It seems impossible that someone would get away with stealing a boat. Im certain you will be reunited with it soon…

Jeremy,

Sorry to hear about this
I’ll keep my eyes on this weekend down here in Iowa. I hope they catch them and then let you have them for about 20 minutes in a very dark alley!!!

Boy, that really sucks ! Sorry to hear about your loss.
We’ll all be looking. This site has alot of people on it that cover a HUGE area.
Keep in mind guys, these low-lifes probably have those stickers peeled off by now, etc. I can’t imagine they would be dumb enough to use it on the busiest water week end of the year, but they probably will.
To: Whoever stole the boat,
You can run, but you can’t hide from a bunch of PO’d outdoorsman and women.

I’ll definately keep an eye out hear on the river,makes me sick to hear a story like that, if you can get a pic. posted i will print it off and post it hear at work, we see the boats nice and close

That really sucks, I can’t believe that people would do this. Know that you have many eyes on the road and water here, let’s find these guys and put the them in jail. Or worse.

Very sorry to hear that! Eyes will be on the lookout for you and your families stuff!

Here’s those pics. I was traveling all day and just got the laptop fired up. I REALLY hope they nail the creep that nabbed your rig.

Edit: the wireless I’m on times out before I can upload it is Soooooo Slow! I’ll have to find another way to get them on here.

I will be waiting to see those pics. I posted this link on Facebook and also emailed the link out to friends who live in the twin cities area, if everyone that reads this does the same maybe we can help catch this jerk.

Pics here again in case they weren’t seen in the first post.

That is sickening Ive written down your boat info and #s in case I see these jack ‘s out on the water with your boat. Sorry to hear this.

wow that really sucks, I’m probably to far away but will keep my eyes peeled, I would also keep an eye on area classifieds… craigslist… etc, as they may just be looking to turn it for cash versus actually using it.

Jeremy I contacted some of the News stations in the Twin Cities and Maggie Newland from channel 5 replied back to me and wants to do a story on this she should be giving you a call sometime today.

Wow,sorry to hear about this. The people that did it must not have a brain. I can’t imagine how they think they will get away with it. I too will keep my eyes open. With all the sportsmen & women out there watching for it,I’m sure it will turn up.

Jeremy, Jeffrey DeMars from Channel 11 also replied back to me and would like to talk to you he left a message on your cell.

Great work Steve!

I’m worried with the state of this nation, that this kind of stuff is going to be the norm. Sad day when you have to fight to keep what is yours! Sorry to hear about your ordeal, hope they catch these low life’s and you get you stuff back.
