Got Robbed!

No cops - no prints...nada. The PSA lady asked for my driver's license and home number and went back to her car. Five minutes later she came back with a card (about the size of a business card) with a contact/case number, the district/unit and her name and ID number.
 
If the "PSA" gave you a case number, just call them back and they can add the serial numbers to the report. You may want to follow up with a real cop to make sure the numbers get entered.

Here in NC, all pawn activity is recorded and given to the cops to check against stuff taken in crimes. The pawn shops are real good about working with us because Crime Stoppers pays them back whatever money they have in the stolen stuff.
 
Hammer,

Here's what I got.

Randle, I will follow-up on your suggestions and I will call my friend (sargent) with Miami-Dade Police and I'm sure he will help me out.
 
Never heard of PSA before. As what Randleman said, contact a real cop. Pawns shops are a great place to start, but more then likely they will be on some ele's boat. This really sucks :-/
 
Get the real thing over there!!

Watch online ads, there is a guy here that had a motor stolen, next day it was on crigslist, he called cops, set up a meet to buy his own motor, after deal was done cops moved in!!
 
Sorry Builder, there is walking sh!t everywhere, there always has.
Follow the advise and get the items reported with a serial and model number along with any owner applied number you may have done.
If they are seized somewhere the PD where it is seized will do a NCIC or SCIC check on the items and if they are not entered correctly they will be auctioned off somewhere or destroyed.
The person who came to your house is the governments way of saving money and not hiring enough cops to do the job. All they want is a report number to justify their existance and to provide a number for insurance purposes.
There will be no investigation as there should be and no evidence recovered to tie a perp to a crime.
If you want that sounds like you need to do the checking around yourself. Likely from the sound of it you are right about a inside job of some kind. But a couple of things to think about, whoever did it cqme in prepared, in the dark and new how to cut it out without spending much time and making any noise.
Sounds like an experienced mariner or someone who grew up around it and done the work themselves. Thats a pretty clean cut for a normal thief. JMHO

Oh yea, talk with the people who sold you the units and/or the install, find out if anyone else had thefts, might ring a bell with them. Unless it is a small operation with one or three employees, in that case just kind of show up and look around.
 
Oh man that sucs.

No I was not in Florida.

Probably druggies.

Was yours the only one in the area to be hit?

Anyway, MJ, I keep my V at my trailer and believe me the owners of our park will not hesitate to get
police involvement.
Two years ago, some kids went through the marina and ransacked boats and left some loose.
Cops were all over that and the parents got police escorts out of the park.
As a matter of fact, the De state cops have access to the park
at all times and it is not unusual to see a patrol car come through
at 2 AM.

HAMMER can atest to the security, our park owners want to know who is in the park at all times.
 
That SUX!

Even something cordless and portable is going to make a good bit of noise cutting fiberglass. That's amazing that they got the whole console.
 
Your original suspicions may be very accurate as being an inside job.
Cutting hands off would be too good for the offenders.
 
G%$ Da%$ Theives. They should be hung by their anatomy with piano wire if and when they are caught and then have the living sh#@ kicked out of them. Then we can be civil and take them to court to be sent to Bubbas house. Good luck on getting your stuff back Builder.
 
Sorry to hear, and very sorry to hear you are in Florida.

Cops here seem to have other things to do, even in low crime area's like mine. One time our subdivision had some thugs come through and slash tires, break car windows, and destroyed the convertable top on my Mustang, well over $1500 in damage here, and total in the subdivision had to be more than $4000 to $6000. No one came out from police. All they would do was take report over the phone, and mail a copy to us. That is it!!! Pasco County Florida tax dollars at work..

Few weeks later a friend was driving his boat onto trailer at ramp and got a DUI....... 3 cop cars stake out the boat ramp every couple of weeks.

Thanks guys for your kind words! And yes, I'm going to Radio Shack at noon and check out the alarms and get at least a motion sensor for that area. I could not sleep last night thinking that they could be back for the thru-hull depth/temp sensor that goes along with the Furuno chart plotter they stole.

That sucks. Look at the Gorilla alarms at auto parts stores. They're about 40.oo and hava remote.
 
man i hate that hope you get a chance to shoot them soon
