Oh man Joey, that really stinks! I wouldn't even know where to begin.  I do have pictures of some stuff, but need to go through and do that again.  Easy job, just needed the reminder.  Sorry it had to be you to give it.

Being burglarized is the closest I think a man can get to the feeling of being raped!   :scared:  

I had my storage unit in MT and my truck in MT broken into while living there... everything they took had personal meaning beyond the base value of the items...

I never felt so paranoid and "violated" in my life.

I feel for you Joey! I truly do.  The loss can be overcome but that feeling lingers. I hate thieves!

Ditto!  Years ago I lost everything bowhunting to a fire. 13 custom bows, 25 Screaming Eagle treestands, 2 pair Swarovskis, 3 pairs swanndri camo, you name it, I lost it. No receipts, no pics, no nothing. I had a very difficult time explaining it to the insurance guy.  Needless to say, I recovered less than 1/10th of it. Take pictures and save them somewhere safe.

Now, I've got 8 custom bows and that is about it.
Hard to replace what it took a lifetime to acquire!

I learned this lesson as well but I found all my serial number info after my home was robbed in 2003.  Still mad that I had to install a safe inside my own home.

That is terrible news Joey.... I know that no words can change this but I hope in some small way it helps to know that we're all saddened and angry at hearing this. God Bless!

Man that is terrible.  You have inspired me to do pics when my wife and I move into our new house next month.  Man I hate thieves/burglars.  If I ever catch one there will be zero mercy.  About 6 years ago I was living in Miami.  I woke up on night to hear a commotion out back in the parking lot behind my place.  Looked out the window:  3 dudes breaking into my car going through my things laid out on top of my trunk.  Didnt have my piece with me at the time, but I was just plain MAD!!  I went out and went straight towards them and said 'get your hands off my stuff and get on the ground, now!!'  Two of them broke into a sprint...I detained the third and dialed the police.  Just some 20 something hoodlums.  Well, he went to jail and had to pay restitution on the vehicle damage and whatever was missing.  The prosecutor interviewed me at her office-  she was like "you were unarmed at 3am and attempted to detain 3 men...in Miami??!!"  I just smiled and shrugged.  I'm crazy like that.

It takes a pinko, commi, thumb sucking, bed wetting, low life to steal a mans sporting gear.

Just an Update... thanks everyone for the pm's. This site is definitely a family and i am so humble to have access to it.

Insurance Company had been great. Fast and has taken my word for all$$. I provided very little reciepts but enough pictures. We are having a small argument on what a collectable duck call is worth     :)     but i am very pleased with SafeCo.  

Note , i also have replacement value so even though they gave me $210 on my Zeiss 10 x 40..When i buy some new ones for $900..they will mail a check for the difference. helps a ton.

Still i would rather have my Tippit Mississippi Skinner and Biggie Cable knife back.  If they would have taken my bows......i would have been committed. My safe was untouched  thank goodness


get your stuff listed/ photographed and look over your policy!

Glad everything is working out JoeBuck. I`m here to help Brother so I will roll up to Biggies place and give him some more shooting lessons and have him send you another knife as payment....And to make sure you never go bow less in case this happens again go ahead and build a swamp rooter longbow and send it my way...for safe keeping of course.RC

I work criminal investigations/ intelligence operations and I cannot warn everyone enough, to please never use social media to post where you live, who you are, what your family looks like or anything that can pinpoint your location.

As someone already stated: have your family stay of Facebook, Twitter, etc, while traveling. The amount of personal information posted by people simply astounds me. I know, I use social media myself in tracking people. Remember, you are nothing but a target to most people in the world, protect your identity, your family, and your residence.

Joe,
     very sorry for your invasion. social scum like that need to be shot...someplaces I have worked, they would have been , if caught.

This is a terrible story but also some great advice. I have to admit I had never thought about most of this. I guess I figured my loaded Model 1100 next to my bed was security ... well it's not because I'm not always in my bed. Anyway, thanks for sharing this even though it is tough for you right now.

Chuck/nineworlds, you are obviously a madman! That's a great story, and one that I would never try!

I sorry for your loss. My truck got hit when I was loaded up for a weekend of scouting and fly fishing last year. Insurance just doesn't cover everything especially the sentimental items.

Just an update......my insurance valued some highly collectable duck calls as face value of date of purchase then Depreciated... Collectable value is not valued.

So what this means if for example you have Paul Shafer Signed Silvertip T/D.....get that item "scheduled" on your policy for what it is really worth not what you bought it for 20 years ago.  All taxidermy should be schedule also to recoup value n case of fire.

I don't own anything of value.  

However, because of this thread I just took pictures of all my junk that would be a bother for anyone to try to pack off.
