So I went to my favorite lake for some fishing. Lauched the boat and was gone for about four hours. When I got back, someone had stolen the two rusty old stop/turn/tail lights from my trailer!<br /><br />What the heck? Two brand new tires on the thing. A brand new winch and tongue jack, and they steal taillights, of all things...and ones I was about to replace anyhow.<br /><br />Anyone else have a stolen stuff at the ramp story?

The answer is someone needed lights. Not tires or a tongue jack. <br /><br />That sux.

hold on, ain't that just common courtesy? need something for your trailer, take it from another. the next guy does the same & on down the line. only the last guy off the lake has a real problem. :)

Kevin,<br /><br />LOL! Well, I'll getcha back. I need some new rollers for my trailer. I'll keep an eye out for your rig...<br /><br />Somehow I doubt you're launching at Bald Eagle, though, if you live on the wrong side of the river like that.<br /><br />St. Paul...The Right Side of The River

That is about it....they needed lights for their trailer because they are IDIOTS!<br />They forgot to unhook their lights when they backed their boat/trailer into the water. <br /><br />I had my brand new magnetic lights stolen out of my truck while I was boating. I was only out for couple hours. <br />I'll catch em some day! They WILL pay!

Never had any thing stolen, but some one once left a cooler and sun glasses on our trailer.....we just left them at the rangers’ station by the launch ramp.

Many years ago I fished Occoquan Reservior in VA from a SportYak. I powered it with the smallest electric I could find and used the battery out of my Mercedes Diesel for the motor.<br /><br />Came back to be told that the launch owner had busted a guy trying to steal my car! :D
