REWARD,,,, shimano gear goes walkabout

[DR]

I must admit I am a tad curious as well, was there some tip off and some large "bouncers" involved?? or was it just a simple "returned, no questions asked??"

if i had someone named 'Choppa' after me, i would be a little concerned

mmmmmmm always makes me think of uncle chop chop??

Hi GUYS
No secrets from my side ---I did ask around and maybe it did pay off. Whatever happenned its just nice to hear that Choppa is getting his gear back. Maybe Mrs Choppa will feel better now to.

there is no cloak n dagger stuff here,,,, truly

the ""secret"" is simply that i have a close relative that is in touch with ""most"" of the people that we read about at certain times in newspapers etc etc

the word was put out on sunday arvo that my fishing gear was missing and he wanted it back,,, before he returns from a trip to sydney,,,

the ""local"" grapevine is working well,,,,,,,,,,,

i thought ronnie may have ""uncovered"" something as a phone call was received by mrs choppa to collect the rods from someone who i believe lives in her territory,,, this has since been discovered incorrect,,,

funny side to this ""saga"" is i was that p%$**ed off on monday morning,,, i actually spent 700 replacing the gear,,,,,, oh well,, wasn't there a thread on how many rods is too many

this relative is back on saturday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, we'll see if any more stuff returns

according to the local sheriffs,,, 9 houses were hit in the vicinity of mine on the day,,, so i wasn't really a target,,, for those of you that have been here,,, you're aware that the property backs onto the new golf course,,, this is probably where they came in from,,,,

AAHH I see, I knew of a guy that lived in my neighbourhood that had been known to "come by things" from time to time, I guess he let it be too common knowledge as his house was raided and a lot of stuff was found, needless to say, he is now "out of business" for I hope quite a few years! I guess it is guys like these that make the Black market thrive, but in your case it has worked FOR you, so best of luck, I had quite a few Thousand dollars worth of gear stolen and never saw it again.

similar circumstance noelm,,, but the call we got from beachmere was ""1"" of those in the know,,,, he had nothing to do with the actual theft,,,, just knew where those particular items were,,,, and we have a 90% idea on where the balance is,,,

a matter of wait n see at this moment,,,, but its interesting,,,,according to sources there's 2 local boys a bit wary at the 'mo
