Ripped Off



Yesterday's fishing was hijacked by locksmithery and I thought I'd make up for that this morning. First things first, put a couple of rods in the bed of the rig and stop by Walmart to pick up a lure and some worms. 

Simple, and so it was until I returned to the truck from the store, looked in the bed and lo and behold, no rods. Some goon had ripped them off, so I drove 'round the car park looking for rod thieves but they were long gone.


Some Thieves Ripping Off a Crop

Maybe it was some crew of freaks, chancing it on their way back to Austin, trying their luck down the I35 corridor. I don't know, it's possible, but one thing is certain.

It takes a special kind of wickedness to steal someone's fishing rods.

That's awful, LSP. I'm so sorry.

2 Kings 2:24 - presents itself - and those children didn't steal fishing rods, reel and tackle.

Maybe it's time to go hunting instead of fishing...who knows what kind of varmint you might find

LSP said...

I guess I was asking for it, Adrienne, but pretty bold on their part -- I wasn't very happy about it.

LSP said...

That passage from the Good Book is entirely appropriate, LL.

LSP said...

Toolanddieguy, that is a very good suggestion.

LL said...

Would a fishing rod itself serve as good bait?

Maybe it depends on what you're planning to catch.

LSP said...

That, LL, is a very good idea and I have just the thing... mount a little ambush...

Give a man a fish, he can eat for a day. Teach him to fish, he can eat forever, especially after he steals your rods. Or something like that.

That's terrible. While not a fisherman, I'm sure there's a special place reserved for those who abscond with another man's rods/reels/tackle.

Bad actors, Theodore.
