Sorry to hear this. It really sucks! Theives should still be stoned... This is why I always lock up my stuff at night, esp. in an established FS campground. My dog will usually alert us to anything/anyone unusual coming through our camp. 14+1 in .45 speaks loudly without saying a word if needed.

My FIL had a pair of waders stolen on a trip once while they were airing out overnight, and it DID ruin it for him, as there wasn't anywhere close enough to buy new ones in a size large enough for him (peak season).

Theives SUCK!!!
