Thieves on Beebe! My Fishhouse was stolen!

[hoggs222]

I'm not sure where my Dad got them. We've had them for years. We've only got a few extras left. I'll ask him if he remembers where he got them.

Sounds good Hoggs. Keep us posted.

This site is great. Great job guys, this thread reminds me of the one last year where the guys truck was stolen with the American flag bug deflector. If i ever have something come up missing, it will get posted on here first, then I will call the cops.

Email sent to you hoggs.

Well, I picked up the fish house from the impound today. As I was standing there with the officer, I said "I don't even want to know what it looks like in there." His first words were "You don't want to know what it looks like in here!" There was literally garbage everywhere.

The door is worthless. Broken window and completely destroyed. The door is tied nicely with a piece of string so it stays closed. The siding is painted, holes drilled in it, etc. That will also have to be replaced. Paneling is spray painted in a few spots. Heater looks damaged. Nice tear in one of the screens that for some reason they felt they needed to remove from the window.

They even left me with a few of their beer bottle labels stuck to the wall. Oh, and they even ate some of my sunflower seeds that I left in there. Some of them were spit into a beer bottle and some were kindly spit all over the place.

The First Aid kit was opened so hopefully they got hurt! Oh wait, Can we get sued for them hurting themselves in a stolen fish house?

All in all, it basically looks like the frat house from Animal House.

OK, my rant is done.

Is your ins. going to cover it? At least you got it back and you can get it back to the way you want it this summer. When you said how long they had it I was expecting to see some kind of conviction or thought maybe they had prints from them. Why did the cops keep it so long if they weren't working on something?

[hoggs222]

I'm not 100% sure what the hold-up was on getting it back. It was covered to an extent, not enough though. I'll post more when the case is settled. It's been interesting.

[hoggs222]

Well, I got some pics. There were other things wrong with it, like where they screwed holes in the siding, etc. This is after the cops went through it and removed lots and lots of garbage.

Did they steal the batteries out of the UFO light??

[Iambjm]

Pigs!!!!

[hoggs222]

I have no Idea. They were both smashed, so I threw both of them away. I think they did leave some batteries in there though. Brand new in the package!

These pics were after a lot of the trash was already removed.

Looks like they went to Sherwin Williams store for their supplies by the plastic bag in the pictures...

Glad you got your home away from home back...

Did the cops ever take anything that they touched and fingerprint it? You'd have to believe there was some kind of prints left in there somewhere. Good Job Bartman!
