Careful with your GPS

[tvacao]

Just a heads up to my friends here. I made a terrible mistake and left my gps in view when I parked and had my car broken into and lots of things stolen including my fly rod and flies and all my mushroom bags and knives...but the biggest lesson I learned was never put the "home" button on your gps to go to your home! Thank goodness nothing was taken from my house but I just wanted to let you all know. Maybe I should just expect some people to be evil but I tend to lean towards the good and happy side of life. Set your "home" button for some random spot and have your house set as a code word you know.

sorry to hear that your vehicle was broken into, did this happen when you were out hunting morels or fishing?

I was at work and planning on hitting a morel spot and trout stream after work...guess it was bad idea lol. At least my morel spots were not in the GPS

Or set your home button for the police station!

You could try my method, never own a vehicle that is worth more than your fly rod, you don’t even have to lock the doors. No one expects you to have a $600 fly rod in a $200 f-150 that wherever you park it looks like it has been there for years.

All kidding aside, sorry to hear about your loss. I have lost a number of very good rods through out the years and it does make you sick but there are worse things to lose. I hope your insurance covered it.

Good call about the GPS/home thought. It reminds me that you should never have stickers on your vehicle that can give a thief an idea of what may be in it. Like this truck protected by Smith and Wesson, G Loomis, Sage, Winston Etc…
