The Fly shop I work at in Van Nuys Ca. was broken into early Thurs. morning. 101 reels were stolen ranging from Abel and Tibor to SA and Cheap Ross. They also made off with 35 rods from various manufacturers. If you have any info please contact The Fishermen’s Spot at 1-818-785-7306 thank you
If you have a list of the registration numbers we can post them here as a warning to any potential buyers. We are glad to help.
we are putting a list together in a board friendly format that I will post ASAP thanks
I am told one of the ways thieves unload stolen goods is to sell on EBAY. I would monitor this site too. Sorry to hear of your loss.
Don’t forget to watch Craigs List as well.
Sorry to hear of that David. I was there on Saturday morning, saw the plywood covered door, and bought $300 worth of supplies.
Glad to find you guys. I hate paying shipping charges and the wait for materials and tools.
Tell the guy who lives out in Santa Clarita I said “Hi!”
I’ll be watching and keep an ear to the ground.
is the fly shop located in texas or lousiana ? if it is the items could been taken to canton and sold there… i know 3 dealers who sells flyfishing goods at first monday trades days in canton texas…
As most of you probably already know, we were burglerized in the early hours of Thursday morning. They smashed the front door of the store with a hammer and then shattered the reel display cash as well. They pretty much cleaned out, or damaged, every reel in the case (101 reels gone and 18 damaged) and they got 35 rods (4 others damaged) off the rack as well. The alarm company called us and we found the store in shambles when we arrived. Police did their thing and they did find blood where one of the thieves cut themselves on the show case glass, the hammer and a plastic garbage bag that had been left behind. I put the word out on the flyfishing forums and we have a lot of eyes looking to see if this stuff starts showing up. Steve and I wanted to thank all of those who called, posted on the boards or emailed with offers of help and condolences we are truly part of a great community and we appreciate your kindness and support.
Here is a list of Rods and reels that were stolen from the shop last Thursday. If you see any offered for sale online or are approached to buy them by someone please let us know asap at the following number (818)785-7306

wow that sucks! thats lots of stuff! keep your eyes open. these dudes are not gonna fish with 101 reels and 35 rods! they will be selling um somewhere asap for some crack money.
OMG!! :shock: That just sucks! I’ll keep an eye on some of the auction sites as I surf.
[QUOTE=Then you should carry hardys, thomas & thomas daniellison,oh that`s right my boos is the one and only in the U.S.A. to carry daniellison reels[/QUOTE]…
really? I have full priviledge to sell Danielssin Reels myself and I dont even have a shop…I also know of several others within 20 minutes of me…bet that makes DavidWratchford feel lots better:???:
hope you get the thieves and can enjoy full prosecution:mad:
I don’t think his boss would very impressed with him.
That was a low blow.
Ed
They will be caught! And when they do catch the thieves,flog them with fly rods!
Or send them my way for a one way float trip down the Salmon River!
This certainly qualifies as one of the uglier posts that I’ve seen on FAOL. Gloating and just plain nastiness are not going to win many friends. Karma may not be kind. 8T 
How about you post your boos’ phone numbah and address so’s some of us could give him a call? 
Man, that bites!
Our shop (Central Florida) “The Fly Fisherman” was hit four weeks ago and the -**'s made off with Tibors, Sage 6000 series and Abels. All the sunglasses by Smith and Panoptics and the Calcutta baitcasters. There’s an article about it in this issue of Fly Fishing in Saltwaters. There were two others hit in California and another in Florida.
No sign of anything on Craig’s List or Ebay. We figure they’ll end up in South America.
They didn’t mess with the rods or anything else. They did take a Renzetti Master vice, too.
Man I hate to hear of someone being burglarized, especially when it’s someone in the fly fishing community. I always think of those who pursue the thrill of flyfishing as the honest, most generous type: Then a D**K like JCNTHERIVER shows up, and either robs your local fly shop, or wants to slam on someone when their down. Da*n Shame!!
Hope the cops catch’em, or somebody spots them boosting online somewhere. Best fortunes to you guys.
Dick huh I work at a fly shop
what does that have to do with anything? doesn’t change the fact that your original response to this was callous and rude. it didn’t make a whole lot of sense either. being in the industry you’d figure you’d be sympathetic.
Here is the Danielsson reel dealer in NJ:
Streams of dreams fly shop

Maybe someone would like to give them a call.
His boss may like the exposure he has given the shop.
