First of all he was never arrested or booked.
Second, They were not his plants in the barn
Third,  he pretty much had his reputation and life completely screwed by a out of control sheriffs dept. who had no case.
Tom Stienstra is an incredibly nice man who didn't deserve to have this happen to him.
He has been one of my best friends for years and he would do anything to help me if I needed it. Anything.
So it's fun to beat him up over this and when you don't know the story it's easy to believe anything you read or hear.
Leave him alone.

ps I have been fishing with him tons of times and it is a great time.

Not sure if anyone will care but the REI in Folsom was mistakenly shipped a Old Town Penobscot 16 Royalex canoe that they are willing to sell for close to cost. Original price was $1600. The manager was willing to take $999 to make it go away. He's entertaining offers. Not a yak but I thought maybe someone might be interested.

The east cove is the best area of the lake. The wind is blocked so it's much more pond like as opposed to the middle of the lake where the wind blows all day.
Work the reeds and you will catch bluegill My favorite lake!

Folsom store doesn't carry fishing stuff so no reason to go back there......I'm
getting the impression that they want out of the fishing equipment business. If they
get to the point where the Lamiglas rods are 97 cents get out of my way!

Braver than me and I don't mind admitting it!  Nice fish though!

Shrink is any kind of loss such as theft, breakage,paperwork errors

Glad it worked out for you!
