Don't leave your things in plain view

A co-worker of mine recently had his car broken into. The jerk(s) stole a backpack which contained his fishing tackle which included about 20 Lucky Craft$. They were not after fishing equipment as they left his his fishing rods alone. I've often been tempted to leave my fishing equipment in my car overnight so I can just jump in and get fishing ASAP, but after stories like this I'm happy to load the car up in the morning.

Tinted windows are worth it. Not saying they would have prevented it though. They serve so many different roles. Worth the $150 fix-it ticket for sure. I'll keep an eye out on Craigslist for some cheap LCs. Karma will hit them 10x's over.

yeah sux even more so on boats..$$$ reels , wallets ,cell etc...left wide open in tackle boxes when bites are wide open. someone stole my spare reel and irons last yr! punk azzess...... esp when u been fishing all day, take a nap in bunks then wake up arrival at ports..didnt notice stuff was missing till i got home f*ckers... u assume u can trust ur fellow fishermen aboard, but theres always gonna be a bad apple in the bunch...

X2, don't tint the front 2 though, Limo tint on the rest. Use a sun shade on the front and a cut sun shade for the front 2. Tint the front 2 ? No Way. Why risk getting pulled over ?
DUI is too expensive. Lol.

I keep a lot of fishing stuff in my car. If you toss a bunch of crap over your stuff, jackets, gunny sacks,
hefty bags. Make it look messy and they will pass on it. Clean neat organized will always get broken into.
