To be honest I am not really sure what to say, to have all your fishing gear stolen is the pits sad

and the chances of seeing any of it back cant be good sad

Really sorry to hear that news.

mate, the same thing happened to me a year ago, managed to get about £50 back out of the £600 that went, fortunately they caught the guy that did it, but he was just bailed, ah well. i hope you get your kit back,

many regards

mate i really feel for you hope you get some gear sorted out soon so you can get back fishing

I really hope that they get caught, but unfortunately with todays justice system they'll only get a slap on the wrist and told "Don't do it again!". It makes my blood boil that you spend your hard earned money on something and then some scum comes and knicks it just so that they can buy half an ounce of something. Let us all know the name of the gear that was knicked and in what area so that we can all keep an eye out.
