Thieves strike again, this time in Sicamous
Got a call from my buddy that my boat had been broken into. Broke the lock and damaged the door going below. Ransacked the inside, spread chips all over. Got 100 oz of booze (which is no big deal). But they did get my 2 collector knives, worth around $600. That really got me ****ed off. They hit 3 other boats at our dock, wrecking glove boxes and walked away with a whopping $40. They have been busy these lowlifes, hitting other docks and marinas over a couple of nights. Apparently the police have a very good idea who it is, but don't have any reason to do a search yet. I hope they find one. I would really like those knives back, they mean a lot to me. The only thing I hate worse than a thief is a pedophile, I would love to just have a couple of minutes alone with him.
You know they or he is a young punk, on my bed, $500 combo rod/reel, tackle box probably $1500 worth of stuff in it. Electric down riggers. Just looking for booze and money, losers
So now, next weekend, I get to go out and clean up the mess, fix the damage and hopefully install a security system if it gets here in time.
A couple pics of the knives. The fillet knife is a little diff, mine has a bone handle

Sad to hear but what is even more sad, is that even if the scumbags are caught, they will only get a slap on the wrist.

My neighborhood hood gets hit once a week. It sucks. Same thing. Garage and car hopping. And it's a nice division. And of course when they do get caught nothing happens. Slap on the wrist if that. We are in Lethbridge and my wife's car got broken into. Got a call from rcmp 2 weeks later and found some of our stuff in sylvan lake. Talked to the officer and basically they said: yeah she was well known to us. The crown let her go.
We were like wtf??? The theif is known to rcmp and caught with stolen items and walked????
So sick of this criminal system.

Sad state of affairs we find ourselves in, you are one of a few that got broke into, and yes you are most likely right that the police know who it is..but yet these thieving people get to keep on thieving and breaking stuff.. Sometimes I gotta wonder why the police just don't give these culprits a visit and then find a nice shed to take em out back of!
Earlier this year we had a strange truck in our yard up peace river way.. It was in our yard from just before 5 am until 8 am.. Long story short the police arrived 1/2 hour later..I went out at one point in the crunchy snow and the wife called me back to the house.. She thought they may overpower me and then what??
The police said he was sorry for being late as things are crazy out there he said.. I believe him, but those that live 20 to 30 min from the police station...your hooped for help! Sorry you have to go through this, it must suck big time!
Hope they find your knives, with the bad guys!!

What were they doing in your yard for three hours? I have similar problems. They break the locked gate and go about their business, police can't get there in time. Missed them by 20 minutes last time. Not sure what I'd do if they break in while I'm actually there....

Caught the bastard
He got a little arrogant, decided a camera wasn't going to stop him. Posted on facebook, and turned in within hours. No items recovered yet

Don't know what they were doing..2 guys, sitting in the cold, down by my corrals, about 100 yards from the house..I think they were down there hiding out until it was safe for them to drive...we live on a dead end road..so no traffic ever comes there unless your lost, visiting, or have done something bad and need to hide until it's safe to go..my opinion, I told the Leo who arrived that I went part way down there to check em out, I was okay as I had some insurance with me, in my hands and hidden, so I was covered, but the wife was pretty nervous that I went that far from the house..the cop said next time please don't do that..I dought I would listen to him..but I listened when the wife was feeling unsafe, if I got hurt, then what was she supposed to do, it was a weird night.

Update
Well after doing inventory, the also got bluetooth speaker, binoculars, old winter gloves(weird).
They tried to steal my fish finder, but this spring I bought the E-lock ($25?) and it prevented them from stealing it, but they did get my navionics card. So now it looks like I will be making an insurance claim. I was hoping to avoid that. Pain in the ass these thieves.

Somewhere along the line we decided it was not humane to hang thieves.
Maybe its time this policy was re-evaluated.

If I had my way, we'd cut off thieves' right hands and dump 'em anywhere in the Middle East, except Israel.
Just sayin'.
