Neal Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) My complete collection of reels has been stolen from my garage. Probably sometime within the last 2 or 3 days! They were in a large locked wooden box - and there were loads of them - all in very very good condition. Includes Abu 7000 NLD Big game reels with and without lever drags. x 6 Abu 9000 Shimano Torium 16 x 2 Shimano Tekota 600 Shimano Corvalus 400 Shimano Tyrnos 20 Daiwa Sealine SL175H Penn 320GT2 Mitchell Ti 20 Plus a number of other older Shakespeare Multiplier Reels and some I can't remeber All fitted with Braid All in Neoprene cases and Larger Reel cases If any one gets offered any cheap reels let me know! Just discovered some electric Power Tools missing............. DeWalt Electric Plane 240V Bosch cordless drill getting worse by the minute!! Plus the Yamaha 4hp outboard motor I think I had better stop looking - I am getting more depressed by the minute. Neal Edited March 26, 2011 by Neal Quote
Maverick Martin Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 A s**t Neal that is bad news Hope the barstewards are nailed Martin Quote
Adam F Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Not good mate. Covered by insurance I hope? Dont forget the cost of the braid when you claim! I suspect they will turn up on ebay in a few months time - but how to trace them back?? Did they take anything else? Edited March 26, 2011 by Adam F Quote
Neal Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Nothing else appears to be missing - all my rods are indoors - glad they were! Other odds and sods in the box - but not much else. Bugger Bugger bugger!!! I hope the insurance does cover them - not like last time, when I was using the rod and reel and it went over the side! and found I wasn't covered! Just discovered some electric Power Tools missing............. DeWalt Electric Plane 240V Bosch cordless drill getting worse by the minute!! Plus the Yamaha 4hp outboard motor I think I had better stop looking - I am getting more depressed by the minute. Neal Edited March 26, 2011 by Neal Quote
Swainiac Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Neal, I have some small Shimano and a couple of ABU that you are free to use untill you get back up and running. I also have a mile of 30lb braid just come from the states, its yours if it helps mate. Rich Quote
pirky Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Sorry to hear this Neal ..... how on earth did they target the reels and the box and left all the other stuff in the garage ?? Did the box go too ?? Hope Insurance covers it properly .... especially ....as Adam says .....the braid too !! Keep us posted Dave Quote
niggle Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 All been said........sorry to hear. I've got quite a few reels Neal if you want any? Nige Quote
Mike Fox Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 That's grim Neal, you had a great collection of reels there too! Sounds like some VAT-free replacements will be needed from Alderney? Have some bits and pieces if you need help until you can replace. Mike Quote
lofty Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Put an ebay search for stuff you know is nicked but tick the search nearest first. You never know? Also the cash convertors and bootsales. I'd never buy stuff from a pub as tools are someones livelyhood,and your kit means a lot to you. I hope these little fuckers get whats coming to them. Lofty Quote
Jim Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Bugger ! Sorry Neal. I have a couple of Spinning reels you can borrow, or you can have the one back that you gave me. Jim Quote
Wedger Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 so sorry to read all this Neal! Say it how it is Lofty.... Don't hold back. Good advice re ebay etc.. your insurance should cover Neal. Remember it is never in use .... just on the way there, on the way back, or stored. Good luck mate Quote
gjb Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Hope the line gets wrapped around their lower regions and pulled tight graham Quote
Coddy Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Hi Neil Sorry to hear the news If I can help you in any way give me a call. I will keep my eyes and ears open for you. Dave Quote
Rob Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Unless there is proof of forced entry, insurance might say no! Also, you need to ensure you get a police crime reference number. I feel your pain, I think we all do! Rob Quote
Graham Nash Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 my thoughts have been said by others before me. I hope you get reimbursed one way or other Neal. Quote
biggcol Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Cut their f...ing hands off. Got a few reels if you need any till you get sorted. Colin Quote
