LJ Sunday - Thieves among us!!!!!

[TCS]

There is definitely a silver lining in this story: the kayaking community at LJ knows you and has your back. Getting the license plate is huge, hope the police take it from here.

I doubt the cops are going to do much....I tried handing them a video of the Dbag who walked into my driveway and proceeded to steal the 600.00 spare tire/rim off the back of my Wrangler, they wouldn't even take the DVD video I made for them. Of course I didn't have a plate # so that may change things a little.

Hope somebody catches this little bitch, I bet he thinks he is slick shit right about now...

Sooner or later, the kayak is bound to pop up on craigslist with the mismatched pedals.

If I recall correctly, the difference between an 03 pedal and the new one is the mechanism used to pop out the retaining pin used for setting leg length.

On the 03 model pedal, you have to pull the pins out of the hole and the mechanism is made of wire, and the newer ones you squeeze the mechanism made out of molded plastic to re-adjust pin setting, is that right?

Just want to know what to watch out for if the thief knows he can't use the boat anymore and puts it up for sale somewhere.

I wanna hear a happy ending to this. Too many $%^& get away with it!!!

Nail the bastard. With someone getting the license plate, there's no way police shouldn't get him. This can't be tolerated by our law enforcement officers, we have too much valuable equipment at risk.
Hopefully, he's not driving a stolen vehicle, too.

What's happening w/ this thread, i.e., the heads up, pictures of the perps., their truck and, most importantly, the link to the site where a license plate number can be tracked, represents one of the best things about this kind of site. While there's no lack of competitiveness amongst us, banding together to identify, isolate and catch someone who doesn't "play by the rules" (i.e., rips any of us off) is - well its just very cool. Good work, amigos. Hope it helps bring this low-life to justice!

Here is a gray outback for sale on Craigslist put up around noon today.

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/boa/2632349903.html

Listing says it's 4 years old, but based on the round front hatch in the photo, it is not... It should be older than 4 years old to have the round front hatch.

I asked for a photo and will see if he sends one, will update if he does send the picture of boat and drive. Or someone in the north county (Carlsbad) can go and see if a viewing can be arranged.

Wow very hard to believe someone would do something like that. Good pics good

[wiredantz]

You can do it wade!

[bluesquids]

Sucks Jer. I got the plates in a similar scenario a few years back... two detectives knocked on my door wanting me to pick the perp out of a photo line up. The Asshat should be toast.

[GregAndrew]

Any indication that the Police are not going to pursue, and I am in for the posse. It is about time for a happy ending on one of these damn crappy starting stories.

[Kailolo]

Damn. I was there Sunday. I recall the "thief" launched early around 6 when I did, unloaded from a truck onto the beach.

When I landed he was sitting on the triangle next to the grey hobie. Seemed odd at the time, since he was there when I landed and even after I was wheeling my Hobie to my SUV. I was wondering why he had not moved off the beach. He talked a while to a yakker (bearded, young, nice guy) who had landed right next to me, also in a hobie. I could identify the "thief" if it helps--but the tats and shaved head pretty much close the deal.

Wheelez is the way to go. Just wish Hobie had put a 10 inch hatch in the rear to store the Wheelez.

[ryan111]

WOW SO SORRY!

[Kailolo]

I'm guessing he wanted the Mirage drive for his own grey hobie, since I am certain he was paddling not peddling when we launched that morning and when I saw him later on the water.

Would not be surprised if he had stolen that grey hobie as well!! Possibly a previous owner had taken the mirage drive in hand to a street-parked car/truck, while leaving the grey hobie on the beach--ripe for a fast load n' road! So then our thief needed a mirage drive to complete his illegal set-up!
