RD, I am sorry for you loss of gear; but mostly your loss of some of the relaxation and peace of mind while fishing. I grew up in a tough town and learned to lock things up and hide stuff early, but I feel like a victim anyway because it affects the way I prepare for a trip- you have to factor in what you bring vs what you can carry with you for instance. Doesn't it tick you off when you could've used another rod or a nicer camera but were going somewhere where you had to worry about that? Good luck to you, Jim
