I CANT FUCKING WAIT TIL I FUCKING FIND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM GONNA SPEND THE NEXT FUCKING 3 WEEKS OF MY FUCKING VACATION GOING DOOR TO DOOR, SOMEONE's GONNA TELL ON YOU, MONEY TALKS!!!!! P.S. ALOT OF YOU GUYS SHOULD TURN OFF YOUR GOOGLE MEMBER LOCATOR!!!!
CANT FUCKING WAIT!!! ALL MY SHIT IS SECERTLY STAMPED!!! CANT FUCKING WAIT >:D :mad: >:D :mad: >:D

That Sucks!!!!!!!!!
I Hope you had insurance!
-
So sorry to see that. I will be turning off my locator now. Never thought about that.
-
makes me sick to even loook at that picture!! sorry for your loss!!! :mad:
-
It would have been great if they had run the saws-all through the gas tank.
It would have burned them real good.
Take the insurance money and save your $2500 towards a newer boat.
Don't let those sleezebags control your emotions, you will just end up in trouble yourself.
I'll step down from my anger managment soap box.

Youll find them if they are trying to sell the parts on craigslist...there is another possibility they may have scrapped it...however I doubt it...they put that boat there for a reason...out of their neighborhood...check with neighbors someone may have a security camera! It happened with my coworker when his wallet was stolen...a good samaritan found his wallet in front of his house and contacted him...when he picked his wallet up the good samaritan also gave him printed pictures off of his security camera...including liscense plate and the cool guy stickers on the back window! Needless to say justice was served without the police...
All in all that really sucks about your boat...truly sorry...i friggen hate theives!

Finger prints ???? They probably got there hands greasy Yanking out the motor ..... Might be prints on the hull...
-
son of a bitch! that makes me sick just looking at that pic, offers still good if you want a hand when you find them, and I have my locator set in the middle of El Cap lake
-
HOLY SHIT!!!!! That makes me sick. You just dont touch another man's vehicles. I would be a wreck if this was my boat. I understand your angry at the moment...I would be too. But I am a firm believer in karma. It will come back and get there sorry asses. They have it coming big time.
-
This whole story just kills me. I read your posts saying you were going to Willow the next day and then that happened. Its heart wrenching. Fuckin Asshole thieves! Like everybody else has been saying, concentrate on the new boat. Those pricks will get theirs.
-
I bet that pump is white or will be ....... nothing a razor blade couldnt undo..... They must have boat knowledge because I would have thought they would have left the pump if they had no idea bout boats..
-
damn dude that f n sux. id want to smash faces too...what comes around goes around, either by your hands or another. just play it smart, dont let anger cloud your judgement, but thats easier said then done. good luck.

I wouldn't assume it's a member, but yeah, the member map IS visible to lurkers and anyone else. Maybe that's something to be looked into, maybe not. It's a very useful tool for me when I find something somewhere and know who to start PMing, so I'd hate to see it go away or noone using it. I also know I get nervous selling anything on CL because it seems everyones "shoppng my garage" when a deal goes down. Everyone I've ever dealt with from this site is straight up, honest and generous, and I've tried to be the same with them, and would HATE to think that any feature or anything on this site facilitated this scenario. But it is possible, I suppose.
Personally, and as I said, I get more nervous making CL deals. Particularly when they're shopping my $hit at the same time. The guys (Several) who were supposed to come look at Pickle, had my address, never called again, never showed, make me nervous since it's in the driveway now. 2 hitch coupling locks, a big ass chain and lock through the wheels and another chain and lock holding the tongue jack down. Still could dissapear in the night. Since this, I'm revisiting my idea of hammer drilling the concrete in the driveway and installing pull up hooks I can lock the trailers down from underneath with.
My advice, if it was insured, just leave it go. Sell off what you can, save what you wanna save, and buy another boat. You got a decent trailer there that can bring some change, maybe interior, fuel tanks, etc. Not worth any legal issues to settle a personal vendetta. On the other hand, if you just HAPPEN to find out who was involved and no one is looking, well, there's a LOT of bodies buried out in the desert up there............I'll bring a shovel............ >:D
Ray
I'd also add, the crew that did this, wasn't one guy, this ain't their first rodeo doing it..........

Asking the neighbors if they have security cams is a great idea. My next door neighbor put them in last year. Within the first 2 weeks they caughts 3 guys burglarizing the house up the street. They circled the block in a car first, then 2 of them walked up from around the corner. Broke in the front door (enclosed patio - can't see the door) and inside of 6 minutes had all kinds of electronics piled up. Guy #3 rolls up in the car and they load up and split. Very professional and finished in under 10 minutes. And this is a very low crime community, so everyone was a bit shook up afterwards. Hell I leave my boat unlocked on the street occassionally. The wife stresses but that's what insurance is for as long as I make sure that it is covered for more than I have in it.

sorry man that sucks!!!! thieves deserve there own special place in hell!!!!
-
I would have to agree with everything irrebel said. Personally I can not say what I'd do... But I have found out the more you know the more pissed off you end up getting.

I cant believe this, it makes me feel sick looking at that pic. :'(
I never even considered the possibility of someone using our member map to track down things they wanted to steal. Like Ray, I always considered it an easy way to find someone close to something I was thinking about buying, or a way for someone to find me when I was selling something. But with 2769 members showing now and maybe, what, 50 active members. Thats a lot of unknowns that had a treasure map right to my garage (I just removed my marker from the map, I think :().
-
Okay, so this may sound stupid. But two things, first I've check on my boat (that's actually parked in my driveway) like 20 since I saw this post. I called my girl and asked her to drive by right when I saw it... Second what is this speak of a google map marking? (I'm mostly on tapatalk) is this something you have to setup and it like reads my gps of where I'm at currently?

First off, 702Raleigh, I send my serious condolences for your loss....that made my stomach turn. Let us know if theres anything we can do to assist you. Theres a bunch of us here in vegas who are handy and can help out.
Second - The google member map that is on this site (not available via Tapatalk) has nothing to do with tracking your IP or GPS. It is something you have to manually put. I dont want to discourage anyone from using it, but use it with caution. If you notice, my location is in the middle of the 215/15 interchange. I dont put it on top of my house. Also, I really doubt anyones casing this site for boats to steal. Yes its possible, but highly unlikely.
...which brings my to my 3rd item.....
This isnt the first time I've seen this happen in las vegas. There was another guy who had the same thing happen to him - one year ago actually. They were ruthless stripping the boat, but not as ruthless as what they did to yours.
Here is a link to that thread....

Also take note, this guy is not, was not, a member of SCJB. He was selling the boat on CL and then someone jacked it. He later posted the pictures of it on CL asking anyone for any information on it.

Thats A good idea Brad, I just put mine back up (I think) but moved it the middle of the nearest major cross streets. Yea, my dumb azz had it right on top of my house. :screwy:

I had mine on top of my house too. I wouldn't even put it at the nearest major cross streets, thieves don't typically have jobs, they have time to cruise your hood.

hey man im sorry for what those fockers are putting you through :banghead: i haven't had my boat stolen yet but my house broken into so i know how you feel. its been about two years and im still eyeballing anybody who walks by my house. not paranoid just want to kick someones ass, break an arm or smash a hand :mad:
in my area there's only a couple of scrap yards maybe take some pics to the guys who inspect/weigh the in coming scrap, see if they'll let you post pictures. hopefully not to late. they must of had a shop or big yard/ranch because when i cut up an old hull it was loud and dusty.
i think it would of been suspicious seeing a cut up boat going down the road, NOW we all know what to LOOK OUT FOR and make note of the tow vehicles plate number.
if you ever do find the pieces of shit that did it, don't let it get the best of you. you can't go to the lake with your new float if you're in the county jail. one day they'll get what they deserve
hope you get back on the water soon :beer:

As a matter of fact, I have some BBF parts for donation if your interested.

Thanks for all your support guy's! I've already got a line on a couple of boats im looking at to buy, Im hooked on jet boats now. I wasn't accussing this site or it's members of doing this, I just had a moment of clarity in my anger when I saw my google locator! I thought well dam I could of lead them right to my door! Canvased alot of houses with my buddies yesterday got a few things to go look at today! Im not a mechanical genious but let me ask you guys that are a question that might help me solve who did this! Could you use a 454 and the bassett headers on a sand rail????????????????? I look forward to getting my next jet boat, hopefully with a berk, lol. It's only stuff and it was just a very hard lesson learned and hopefully we all could learn something from my misfortune to better protect our stuff from assholes!!!
-
im gonna turn the hull into a jetboat bed for my son, he loved that thing!!! ;D ;D

Right on, :thumbup: that's a great idea, I was thinking of cutting up my old flat bottom hull down the middle and making a bar out of it, be sure and post some pics of the project

My son doent want me to make him a bed out of the hull so make me an offer n come n get it!!!!!!!
-
I guarantee they live between the dump site and your house. Closer to the dump site. If you think about it, you wouldn't drive it far with the back cut out. You would never drive toward where you stole it from.
I would say that they live within a block of you and they dumped it within a block of where they stripped it. Thieves are lazy, and scared!
Has anyone "just dropped by" lately? Maybe to check out the boat.
If you think you have found them and need some back up, I am down! I have had shit stolen three times, on two of them I got arrests. One was a minor and didn't serve any time, but I got the cash value of my stuff. The second got 366 days.
If you have a hunch on who it may be, go with it. I was right with each of my three.
-
Maybe post up on Craigs. Lots of people read that every day.
-
Who on earth would do that to a classic jet boat? Are you friggin serious? I am in total shock right now....so sorry for the loss.
-
My heart goes out to you. Had I cought the guy that stole a 69 vette right out of my chained garage I would most likely be in the slammer right now! Now I have a large Rottie and if that don't work well lets just say he would have better off stayed were the Rott wanted him to stay.
-
My brothers old 20 spectra got stolen and showed back up at his house like 3 weeks later..lol.. Never understood that but it happend.
-
Somebody stole my buddy's boatfrom the River left it at the CHP office in Riverside??? He never knew it was gone intil they called him and ask why his boat was in their parking lot, not much was missing.
