Beware guys we have someone driving around taking things from trucks,tractors and farms.Lock your doors even if your close to the vehicle and dont leave anything in the back.

Last week i was parked on are land working the field and someone stopped while i was on the other end of the field a 1/4 mile away ran over to my truck and cleaned me out.Took my camera,cheque book,wallet,knife and my lunch bag.When i called it in they told me several other places had been hit around a 25 mile area what they knew of so far

Couple hunters the next day also had dog kennels and gun cases ripped off too

That is a cheap trick, sounds like its time for a set up operation. Shouldn't even be a DNR problem, this should be a law enforcement problem. That said, I usually lock my truck when I'm out in the woods, Then I'll hide my keys somewhere so I don't have take them with me and run the risk of losing them. Another option is to just remove the door key and take that with you so you don't have numerous keys jingling in your pockets. Its still too bad that you can't really trust people anymore.

Where did this happen at? I live and hunt in Blue Earth and Faribault County area. I always lock my vehicle up, but it wouldnt take much to break a window. I will make sure to hide as much as possible and pass the word on to my buddies. Thanks for the warning and sorry about your incident.

Personally with the meth problem, identity theft and higher gas prices I wouldn't leave ANYTHING of value laying around in the open. Theres a bunch of real creeps/scumbags running all over the state right now..need more law enforcement/shut down the welfare state. Have knowledge of 2 people that I know that have had stuff stolen out of their cars and offices..the cars were not even 1/4 block from a local detectives house and they figure the office job was done by the new office cleaners that misterously disappeared afterwards. Word to the wise for everyone out there. Keep a sharp eye out there for suspicous activity.

This type of thing is happening all over the State. I just got off the phone with my parents in Brainerd. Last night they had a four wheeler with a plow on it and the trailer it was sitting on stolen out of the driveway.

I wish I could understand what goes through a person's mind when they decide to take something that is not their's.

I know most people are honest, but from now on I am skeptical of every one and everything.

Rip

This happend between owatonna,weseca and new richland.

Well the sad thing is i was right there.only thing between me and my truck was picked corn.It was parked 75 yards on are field road from the road right out in the open with me going up and down the field.Now if i was some place else and did'nt lock it up then i can some what blame myself for being dumb but come on they had guts.

To the 3 hunters who had dog kennels stolen outa the truck well thats kinda hard to lock up with no topper and it also takes guts to take something like that when you know someone has a gun on hand.

Just got back from getting all my new lic (fishing/hunting etc. what a pain in the butt

Well now that i'm a day late for my hunting trip i'm outa here so good luck to everyone and be safe.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
