Iowa ?

 

"The boat was on the west side of Iowa on Interstate 29 by Honeycreek I was going out Bowfishing last night and I had a flat tire so I pulled over unhooked it had to go get a new tire came back and she was gone"

 

This sucks. I hope yall find it. I cant stand a thief.

 

Seriously who's gonna hide a boat with that paint scheme... Hope you catch them. I assume you checked but your sure it didn't get towed by the state patrol if it was on the interstate?

 

How long you leave it sitting before came back???? Am sure you contacted local Law Enforcement,wasn't towed off side of road or in impound yard ????

 

reading it on Facebook.. He did contact State patrol and the sheriffs office... Idk how long it sat on the road im sure it wasn't long. I'm just posting for a friend to get the word out about this.

 

More information about it ...

"2am had a flat at the honey creek exit. Parked the boat there and went to get a jack. Came back at 6am and no boat.. Called all in pound and local authorities who may have towed it with no results. Have to assume someone took it so a police report is being filed."

 

He left the boat on the side of the road for four hours? Why didnt someone stay with the boat?

 

Good luck finding it and the jack a$$ that would steal a boat!

 

All I can say is AAA, with the US Open and people traveling from all over the US to get there, AAA is cheap insurance call at anytime of day or night and stay with vehicle or trailer,plus you have to remember to use or ask for AAA discounts wherever they give them a lot of Resturant's even local ones give discounts.It covers any vehicle the card holder is in,with owning my own company and work trucks have used it several times with towing work trucks for various reasons... Something to look into and relatively cheap insurance also. Hopefully works out and gets boat recovered

 

Man I feel bad for Nick on this one...this sucks! I hope they catch these people and beat the hell out of them:headbang:

 

Wow that sucks will keep a eye open.

 

I carry spare tire and two hubs.
Hope they catch them and it was insured

 

Man that sucks. Hope he finds his boat.

 

I hope he had insurance. I carry insurance spire tires jack tools wire extra props etc. I say I'm gonna have enough tools to damn near replace a power head on the water. This should be a testament to all. Also a hitch locker is not a bad idea if you ever unhook a boat. I double lock mine always and the locks get tossed in the bed of the truck anytime I move it. Good luck man.

 

Here a lock for Yall

 

Yup. I've got a trailer lock... Spend money to save lots of money...

 

That's where those hitch lockers come in handy. You can't get the nut off. And even if you beat the hitch off with a hammer the lock still there. I hijacked my dads boat a long time ago that way, pulled the hitch. Hot wired it and went duck hunting. And there he was waiting for my azz in the driveway! Lol!!

 

On MUDs pic, you can see the (2) bolts on the coupler even with the locks on , Palehorse what's the "Hitch Locker" ??

 

Yeah if your whole hitch is bolted on that could be removed. I was just thinking about the actual lever part. Mud u best weld them bolts. And heck I need to check mine too.

 

Lock only keep a honest person honest.
Locks can be cut off all so.

 

Yup with battery power angle grinders now it's pretty easy to cut anything off, but that's noisy and the whole idea is to make it hard as possible to steal....Mud,didn't they steal your Hanko??? If they did, how did they get that one??? With fishing season may help someone else from getting stolen. Mines in yard behind chain link fence, with vehicles in front of gate,with locks on tongue also. And wasn't Rivers Edge Boat taken from a Hotel parking lot???

 

If the thief wants the boat bad enough, he's gonna get the boat. You're never going to be able to keep someone from being able to steal your boat. If they want it bad enough, it might take a lot of work but they'll get it. It's just something to try to deter most of those rotten people.

 

:ban:

 

If the guy get caught again he will probably get probation again. Thieves are thieves for life.

 

I will keep an eye out. That's right down the road from me. Tough luck for sure

 

Sadly they will repaint it like a duck boat and sell it or use it.
