American River Vandalism - Tues 3/11 17 Years, 7 Months ago  
Hi All,

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out reminder to watch your cars - even in high traffic, paid parking areas. Today, I fished the American at Upper Sunrise and also up at the Hazel parking area just below the Nimbus Hatchery. I was there from 3:30 until the ranger found me at about 6 pm, and informed me my driver's side car window had been smashed. Being one of 2 anglers on the water, and having a license that says 8FT ROD he had me pegged.

The scumbags took my gym shorts with a hole in the crotch , a roll of quarters, a free gift-with-purchase dopp kit for the gym , and most irritating of all - my favorite travel flyrod!! The idiots left the valuables in the car (cash, cards, wallet, etc.), and tossed 2 of my bags that were recovered. Both bags worth much more than what they took with the exception of the flyrod. Of course, it was my favorite 5 wt and that means no outing this weekend

The idiot scumbags crwled across the broken glass on my driver's seat ruining the leather, all the way to the cargo bay in the back, and then back out of the broken window. I am not sure why they didn't break a window in the back to begin with! Not too bright.

Not only did I get skunked on the American AGAIN... I had the aforementioned violation to add insult to injury!

Sorry to hear that. I KNOW how you feel. The same thing happened to me at Upper Sunrise back in '02, only they got 2 rods. I was so trusting that I left them in plain view.

I'll never be the same. Now, I'm concerned wherever I park...but I did up my home insurance coverage, which will replace anything stolen.

Still, what a pain in the butt!

Ah, man, two rods! That rots big time. Hopefully we have both sufficiently paid our dues.

The thing that is weird, is that the rod was broken down, in its travel tube, inside a gym bag! They actually went through the bag, selected that item, and tossed the bag, with filet knife, camera case, polarized glasses, gloves, etc.

Just happy to be home, but hate feeling violated.

If ya need a rod to borrow for the weekend, I can loan you one.

Just don't leave it in your car while it's parked near the AR.........
