Scumbags at Edgewater - Page 2

johnny fish · 11-03-2009, 03:55 PM

I am shore bound but do alot of night eye fishing and was gonna fish edgewater last night but opted to try sheffield instead. A little spooky at first since it was like a ghost town then a lone boater showed up and a teenager just out wandering. what made me feel good was a sheffield cop was up in the parking lot as I was leaving and upon speaking to him was told they patrol it in person and also by web surveilance. C'mon shore bound OGF anglers lets keep an eye out for this trailer this is one of our fellow members we're helping out!!! K I will definatly keep an eye out for your trailer as I fish anywhere from edgewater to the islands for walleye. And as for a stake out like pro angler suggested well count this guy in!!!!!!

liquidsoap · 11-03-2009, 04:07 PM

That is terrible.. I hope your boat is safe on the lake..

rizzman · 11-03-2009, 04:38 PM

Kevin, sorry about your trailer,figured it would happen sooner/later to someone with the night bite kicken in. Going into my 20th year as a cop i've learned that no matter how many good locks and other devices you use, If they want it, there gonna get it. hopefully it will turn up in a day or so just missing rims/tires and not trashed. The word is already out in the law enforcement community for ya. With that said guy's should keep there eyes/ears open for trailer parts not just the whole trailer. I'm on vac. as of wed. if things dont work out soon I got a open seat for ya.

Wish we could catch someone like that in the act and hopefully they would become aggressive. My son's buddy had his truck and trailer stolen two years ago at 72nd. Got the truck back without and damage other than the door lock and steering wheel column stripped. Never got the trailer. Someone tried to steal my trailer last year at Edgewater but they didn't get it. Both these thefts were in broad daylight.

pal21 · 11-03-2009, 05:23 PM

K-gone, Don't do anything for about 48 hours. Wait and see if your trailer shows up. You may only be out the wheels and tires. They won't even bother to take the plates off.

I got 50 cents it shows up on the near west side.

ERIE REBEL · 11-03-2009, 05:49 PM

Kev that totally sucks!!Sure would be nice to catch some of these scumbags in the act and call a news team to record what could happen if an idiot thinks about messin with stuff that doesn't belong to him.

chardhead · 11-03-2009, 06:03 PM

Some ****bag "Flagged" the stolen trailer post on craigslist. Keep reposting it. Maybe the Thief? Sorry for your troubles.

Kgone, Sorry for your luck. Elkhtr and I even second guessed our launch at Edgewater. With the "Pirates" and now this, it just makes you wonder if slabs of meat are worth it. Having a "HEATER" on the water, won't keep the truck and trailer warm. Carl, please do what you can to get a story. Material is material, Kgone you got the chance to enjoy nature, catch fish, enjoy friends and have your health, GREAT DAY ON THE WATER!

Sorry to hear this Kevin. Will keep an eye out. Hope they find it quick, or you get a quick replacement.

wave warrior · 11-03-2009, 08:03 PM

sorry to hear!!! i know what its like to be had!!! i know the archery gear that was stolen from me pales in comparison to your trailer but the feeling of being invaded,cheated, and RAPED of your belongings just plain SUCKS!!!! good luck and maybe, just MAYBE the dirtbags will be caught!!!! I put up a reward and still NOTHING!!

COOLERKING79 · 11-03-2009, 08:36 PM

Kevin, hope they catch the BASTARDS, and sorry to hear of your
misfortune! On the other hand, hey bud those are some real BRUTES
you are catching! Keep it up and wish the best for ya!

Bass&Bucks · 11-03-2009, 08:56 PM

Kevin,
it's sad to know there are a$$holes out there that are willing to do something like this. at least you hung some slobs. hope you get a replacement trailer asap!

peple of the perch · 11-03-2009, 09:16 PM

The Craigslist post is back up... Hope they find it. It just surprises me that people can be such idiots.

captain tony mills · 11-03-2009, 09:28 PM

Kevin i hope you can find out whoe the assholes were that took your trailer and give them what they really deserve a one way trip out on the lake about 10 miles and throw their asses in and tell em to hitch hike back to shore . P/s just make sure no one is around when you do it like they did you with the trailer.

MikeC · 11-03-2009, 09:37 PM

Kevin, really sorry to hear about your trailer. We need to come up with a way to have a parking lot cam that we can monitor while some of us are at home and others are fishing. Just the sight of it may be enough of a deterrent. This really puts a damper on the late fall walleye run for me I'm sorry to say. Hope you find your trailer.

theguy · 11-03-2009, 09:55 PM

that really blows! I usually go in the morning when the scumbags are asleep or they are keeping 10" bass of the pier. sell-fish i talked to you down there the other day...but didnt see an OGF sticker...alot of times there is a cop car sitting down there during the day..but man the feeling of knowing that you have been stolen from just sucks! hope everything ends alright

I like the thought, OGF Ramp Cam.

no wake · 11-04-2009, 06:58 AM

I saw a boat sitting on blocks that wasn't there the last time I went by, I'll keep an eye out for a red tandem trailer to appear under it.

Big Daddy · 11-04-2009, 07:41 AM

I'm going to push hard at work to do the story next week and make some calls to the state park police and CPD to see if we can get increased patrols.

Gotta stay safe out there.

triton175 · 11-04-2009, 08:21 AM

That really blows. I feel for you man, nothing makes you fell as violated as when you get your stuff stolen.
I just don't get why they would take a custom trailer like yours. If they really wanted a trailer they would have taken a generic one. I'll keep my eyes open for somebody trying to sell Ranger wheels.

backagainbaha · 11-04-2009, 09:00 AM

That sucks. From time to time we get thief’s go through boat at the marina I dock at. I was just talking to the owner of the Taxidermy/ Bait Shop in Vermilion Sunday about thieves in his store. I do not understand how any true fisherman could be a thief.

For most of us, I would say our boat is our prize possession. Even some of us hold in higher than our house.

I would like to know what you had to do to get your boat out.

Ramon · 11-04-2009, 09:07 AM

Sorry to hear about your loss Kgone. I had a couple of local kids break into my house a few years ago and steal some stuff. It sure is a strange feeling, that's for sure. Hope it all works out.

moondog5814 · 11-04-2009, 05:37 PM

You cannot have anything nice anymore these days without somebody f#@&ing it up. Sorry about your luck, Kgone. Hopefully the pricks didn't chop it up and take it to a scrapyard. On the other hand, if they did, a lot of scrap yards scan your driver's license so they might be able to trace it back to the maggots that stole it.

Big Daddy · 11-04-2009, 09:49 PM

Talked to someone "in the know" today and there should be more patrols hitting that area ASAP.

Still working on getting a story done about it next week to get even more action...

sonar · 11-04-2009, 10:25 PM

Kgone,We don't know each other, however,I feel your, loss, I too was stolen from, and it is infuriating to put it in printable form! NONE THE LESS;You were not harmed bodily!!! And that is a good thing, in its self.......considering times being what they are today I'm sure there are many people close to you,that ARE SO VERY HAPPY THAT ALL THAT HAPPENED TO YOU WAS, A "TRAILER IS MISSING" AND THAT'S ALL THAT'S MISSING ! Well, that is just about good enough!!!!! SORRY MAN!!!!! But keep a good head about things& who knows?....".Good things happen to good people"! Don't forget to count all your blessings & maybe it will turn-up. We will be looking out for it too. -------sonar..........

allwayzfishin · 11-05-2009, 12:13 AM

Because GOOD PEOPLE work hard for a living to afford to actually buy nice things.

Other types just steal it. Sell the wheels to get a fix.

I feel you pain.
