The boat was parked in a mate's driveway along the esplanade - reversed in and right below his bedrooom window, with a big dog a garage door away. The thieving mongrels were obviously very quiet!
a couple of the rods stolen were quite distinctive:
an 8.5 foot custom bluish spin rod (pacific composites albagraph blank) with TSS4
a 6500 baitrunner with red braid on a custom live fibre with "Chewy" on the blank (purchased from Chewy at the Carseldine Caltex Tackle Shop)
these are the 2 rods I really really really want to see again!!
other rods (which I really want to see again) include:
a brand new pink ugly stick and mojiko egg beater with red mono line
a Daiwa "Phantom" with camo braid on a little Shakespeare Intrepid spin rod
a Penn Power Graph II 4000 with red braid on a Abu Garcia Muscle Tip.
The silver lining was that they did leave the kid's rods, they didn't take any tackle, and I decided to leave a couple of my rods at home.
Apart from that, the holiday was pretty good, though came home today when the weather was perfect! One of Murphy's Laws I guess..
cheers.
Jonathan.
