Sorry to hear it not good at all. I’ve had my gear nicked 2 times during the last 30 years it’s a horrible sickening feeling.
When I load my car, usually during the day, my rods and alarm bag are last in and first out. I’ve left my bedchair and barrow in the boot and the car backed up against a wall and I still worry about it.
Christ their even broke into my home for my fishing gear, I’m pretty sure I know the bloke whom did this so be vigilant.
It’s only going to get worse sadly insurance is a must.

For a burglar protected car may I suggest you get in contact with James.

Use a Faraday pouch or even wrap your key in a bit of kitchen foil, that'll stop them stealing your car but it wont stop them breaking in at night, ,lets face it if there were three or four scrotes nicking your gear in the early hours and you saw them doing it would you be prepared to confront them? These nasty *******s can be dangerous so is it worth your life for some tackle?
As has been said even if its inconvenient it s still best to load up just before you leave, i use to load up the gear that wasnt the expensive stuff the night before and made sure it wasnt in sight, if youve got a van thats possible but people can see you loading it up anyway, keep your rods, alarms, expensive stuff in the house until you leave, i cant understand why you wouldnt

Ok maybe not as easy as it once was but if you think your car or contents are safe these days. It’s certainly not the case. Scanning keys and signal boosters will get you in

Not if you are sensible with the key.

That's not true, ask any insurance company.

Easier in many cases, keyless vehicles are easy to scan which turns off the alarm, this why I have an independan tracker.

Spare room or not has nothing to do with safeguarding supposed valued possessions! The more expensive items such as 3 often more sets of rods n reels, alarms etc etc adding up to in some cases several thousands can and should be found space inside because I'm quite sure you wouldn't leave cash savings, jewellery, designer watches or even laptops, games consoles or any other expensive items in the car would you? The marriage family line is flimsy at best, same goes for the area one lives, I live in a reasonable pleasant area but that wouldn't tempt me into leaving my tackle loaded up on the drive or road. If the wife doesn't want tackle stored in the house that's easily sorted.....just leave the tackle receipts laying around I'll guarantee once she sees them she would rather not have you replace it

No it’s just as easy to get in as it ever was.

No need to be mean, I had to get all the gear out of the loft because of a mice infestation that evening. Next morning it’s gone.

It does depend where you live. Obviously you live somewhere with the lively Beirut vibe so extreme care is needed. Been there. Now luckily live somewhere where I would be extremely surprised to lose anything to theft. Its all about risk level. Must admit I don't load my rods or rucsac until I leave, they are behind the door ready to go.

Congratulations on having a spare room, I wish I had the extra 20 grand to buy a four bed house but sadly this was not the case. Also, I don't know if you're married or not, but I suspect I wouldn't be for much longer if transporting rods and bedchairs down from the non existent spare room at 4am every single week.

It's not something I'd recommend but to break into most modern cars these days you'd have to go through the glass which in turn sets off the alarm, the doors are deadlocked so can't be opened, difficult to get a full set up out of a side window with the alarm going whilst parked on the drive.
More security on a modern car than most will have on their shed or garage but I still wouldn't do it.

I see a lot of posts or comments and unbelievable still photos about the car or van being all loaded up ready for a early start, the snap shot of the packed with tackle vehicle on the drive on Facebook is just lunacy and yet it seems to be a total shock when they find it stolen, I'd be in shock if I found it still there in the morning so who is wired up wrong here

Ring them up and tell them what you're looking for.

Thinking on that about the shops, maybe you can get ahead of the game as they aren't open yet. A couple of phone calls to your local pawn shop type places to give them a heads up could be useful
Best of luck getting it back

Have to agree although I have done it previously

In the ideal world the tackle should be safe.....but come on fella really? I'm not being funny but you might as well have gift wrapped it with a bow on top. I don't even leave tackle in the shed, it goes in the spare room. I hope u can get set up again soon.

Sorry to hear that, a right kick in the nuts. It might help if you say where you are based as a local response would probably be more helpful. Trawl your local pawn style shops as they are an easy outlet for thieving scumbags.
