Stolen FND kayak

My new fishndive kayak was stolen last night off the back of my pickup the people that did this im sure stole it to either sell or fish out of it so im hoping we can band together to find it its gray 12.5 feet long and had bungie cords ties to the front in a (X) and one in the rear in a square shape please if anyone finds it please call me 707 548 5244 it also has 5 star decals on the bow on both sides as well as paddle clips on the right side. the paddle was also stolen.
   This was not cheap to me and I can not afford to buy a new one so any info would be awsome it was stole in the east side of livermore near vasco rd.

James extremely sorry to hear this news, I know too well how it fills. I had a ws pongo along with my crate  with boga grip ,etc ,taken last year. best of luck getting it back.

James-dude...that is heartbreaking    I got your Pm and I will get your SS numbers ASAP.  God damnit I hate theives!

To further describe James boat it is light grey, with four flushmounts, two up front, two behind, folding COD paddle clips, a big rect. hatch like a Marauder, and a 10 inch round.  The cobra logo on the back was and unusual color combo..looks really nice...blue and orange, kind of a Denver Bronco combo.

James if you need assistance with the PD identifying it when its recovered don't hesitate to call.

James~
I am pissed reading about the theft. I cannot even imagine how you must feel.
 EVERYBODY  keep their eyes and ears peeled and find this yak. Let those theives out there realize we are strong close knit group and when they take from one of us they take from all of us and we will not tolerate it!!!

Oh Yeah if you find it call me and I will call the police they already have a report,
I know this may be difficult not to just pound them but please resist we are not all powerful  here

I am definitely NOT Republican...but strongly in favor of a good old fashioned ass-kicking when its been earned. 

Here is what I have done can anyone think of anything else
Called police filed report
posted to any fishing site I ever heard of
I have 50 couriers scowering every inch of livermore
Im kida lost and pissed right now head not really clear

The eyes of FedEx is an excellent idea.  With the FND being uncommon up here, your custom boat it will stick out like a sore thumb if one of us sees it.  Obviously watch every on-line classified you can think of.

James that sucks, talk about highs and lows. You might want to post on the other kayak sites and Coastside too those guys hate thieves,you will have a lot of eyes looking for it.

James, Sorry to hear this tragic news!

For now at least, if I fish Del Valle anytime soon, you are more than welcome to join me - I have no problems bringing an extra kayak for you to use.

Hope this crook gets caught! I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open.

 

I hate theives almost as much as poachers.  Sorry to hear about  your woes.

Did  you talk to your neighbors and see if anyone saw anything?  I'm guessing you probably did but didn't see that on your list of things you've done.

A lot of times these same thieves cruise the same neighborhoods looking for similar targets.  Perhaps we need to set up a sting.

hey man that is bad. thieves are lower on the totem pole that dog crap. what you might want to do is fish for a FND kayak on Craigslist and scan their kayak ads to see if someone is selling. dont let the word get out too much its stolen or you just might scare them into a hole and make them hide out with it for a long time. scan craigslist ads and post an ad looking for a FND. i had a friend who found his car after looking on craigslist 4 years ago. you never know.

good luck and sorry about what happened. i hope you catch whoever did this. kayaks are not cheap but its the principle that people should not be putting their hands on other people's stuff. once i left my car parked in front of a friend's place for 5 minutes, came out and my stereo was gond and door lock was popped out. i was fuming. give people any opportunity to do something and they will.

i also believe that we as americans have the right to bear arms.

I have not talked to neighbors yet as I disovered it at 1130 last night and my wife was sure it was there at 630 i left home at 12midnight to go to work and I will talk to them when I get off today thanks for the Idea
   Sting sounds good but im fresh out of yaks

Im going to be away from the computer for the rest of the weekend so copy down my phone # in case you see it out this weekend thanks for all your help

james,  my condolances,  .  Your stoke is infectious.  likewise your pain is shared.

Do check with homeowners or car insurance. you never know what is covered.

If the street is a quiet one, it's probably a neighbor, sad as that is.

If it's a busy one, that's tougher.

sometimes there will be a rash of thefts from a more professional group
that comes through a quiet neighborhood,
so it would be good to know if other stuff was stolen that day/night.

If not, then I hate to say it, but neighbors are the most likely.
