Sorry to hear this, someone needs to be caught and SERIOUSLY punished for this bs to stop!

PERFECT!

I have submitted a patent on a tracking device which can be implanted in the butt of your rods, butt of a gun or even manufactured inside of baits so that it blends in. The technology would have a remote attached to your boat keys which allows you to activate or disarm the device.

It works similar to the tracking system they have for implanting a chip into your pets. Difference being that, when activated, if the device moves more than 10 meters then you receive an alert and can actually track the stolen items via your cell phone GPS or your computer.

Alarms don't do much anymore. I had over $5000 worth of rod/reels and baits stolen out of my boat and have been working on this since.

I haven't decided on the product name as of yet but "Stinger" leads. Buddy said the catch phrase needs to be "Will the police or you get to them first". Seriously though, one of the issues outside the technology is the vast scenario's which could occur. Will law enforcement act immediately when a known theft has occurred? Obviously the action time is paramount in making the product successful. I am having ongoing discussions with everyone from the Attorney General to local authorities on protocol.

At any rate, I will inform TFF once it goes into production mode. I'll post this as a separate topic because there have been multiple threads of people having things stolen.

If you do set up a sting, be careful.
