Car Break-ins On The Chilliwack Vedder River
« on: January 02, 2008, 06:22:42 PM »

Starting a new thread on this what was being discussed on the Vedder River 2008 conditions thread.

I was asked by Fish Assassin how we were making out trying to get some type of bait car out there so we can attempt to catch those that are spoiling so many of our fishing experiences on the Chilliwack Vedder River.

I had not followed through which I said I would try to do, that was to set up something with the Chilliwack RCMP, I apologize for that as I always try to follow through with what I say I am going to do. Up to tonight all I had done was talk about it. :-[

Anyway I have now made a phone call to my contact there and will see if they can do something as they will know of the latest rash so it may be a good time to try to get their cooperation. I have left a message with him to call me.

Please post here when you hear about or see a car break in that has been committed. Thanks.
I believe in the last few days there has been about 6 that I have been told about plus one car stolen.

Set up a bait car...hide up in the bushes with a wrist rocket and steel shot...when you see someone trying to break in, smack um....they won't hear it till it hits them...I've heard about this from a fellow fisherman...Excellent idea, hurts like hell and once you put them down, don't let them run to their mommies....Just try not to laugh to hard...

On Sunday Dec 30th,  I was fishing mid river and when I returned to my truck I found that some bottom feeder had broken out my passenger window, punched my passenger door lock and tried to pry up my passenger door handle. Mr. Bottom Feeder took my tire chains and my insurance papers. After I cleaned up the mess and looked about it the bushes for my belongings - which I did not find - I report the incident with the Chilliwack RCMP.

I would love to have 5 minutes to speak with person who did this.

Are there any stretches that are more prone to break-ins than others ? Is there any info on the perp's at all ? I would love to ambush someone trying to break in to my car.  >:(

It sounds too easy for them and they are geting more brazen by the day . Untill someone gets busted or beaten to a pulpy mess, the criminals will continue to do these things. All it would take would be one little bastard to go screaming to his rodent friends that he was busted or mauled by rabid Steelheaders and it would trickle off a bit. ;D

Thor, what kind of truck do you drive? I found some things scatterd along the chilliwack R rroad.
Oh yeah there was a suspecious grey honda civic hatchback a couple days ago, believed to be involved with some of the break ins. Looked like an older model, I heard.

BigFisher...I drive a 99 F150. They took my truck, boat trailer and rec trailer papers. I now keep photo copies in my truck with the originals at home. They also took a set of keys that belonged to my fishing buddy.

In response to Cory and Trevor's question, it seems there is no part of the Chilliwack/Vedder system immune from the sewer rats responsible. The most recent was right at Tesky Rock ( 2 incidents) which is in plain view of high traffic on Chilliwack Lake Rd and easily seen by those fishing below the rock. Some suggestions from yours truly:

1. Those with pickups and a canopy should back in so that tailgate and canopy door is against bushes.
2. Leave nothing in site (and that means absolutely nothing). These guys (or guys) will smash a window for 25 cents left in an ashtray.
3. Be vigilant. Any suspicious cars in parking area with people sitting in them? Write down licence number and description. Any suspicious guys hanging around parking lots. Stay until they disappear or go ask them some questions...are they really fishermen???
4. Report to RCMP even if you think it's a lost cause. This is important. RCMP need to know of any suspicious activity as well as knowing that we are concerned. They know the concern by the number of complainst generated. Chilliwack non-emergency number is 604-792-4611. Ask for COMPLAINTS DESK. Don't simply leave message with whoever answers phone.
5. If you are lucky enough to see some action going down, I would suggest you phone the same number (604-792-4611) rather than 911 and ask for DISPATCH.

Let's be proactive and not let these sewer rats spoil our outings. :-*

The gall of these guys. On the Way is not an isolated area. It's wide open and right next to a grocery store. >:(

Yeah thats brutal. We've parked there 3 times already. Most times in the late morning there are at least half dozen or more cars and lots of people milling around the shop.

Be nice if we could start a volunteer watch in certain parking lots.  If someone was willing to take a shift, write plates and just be observant, there'd be no break-ins here.  People are willing to volunteer their time for clean up, why not observation volunteers?

The average lifespan for these people breaking into your carwhen messed up on crack is about 8 or 9 years .So at least you know it will end sometime. We had one work our neighborhood for a few years but I think he's gone to "crack heaven".

WOW :-\  Thats a steep s**t slope she slid down.

The bottom pic looks just like Jessica Simpson.

29 years old ? Maybe 29 years of tippin' back pints at the Legion more like it.

Sad but true.

 Not to many who would spend many days waiting in the bushes .Trouble is you don't know where or when they are going to strike next.
 I heard reports of these scum scouting spots with a couple of guys , watch someone pull in and head to the river , one guy follows the fisherman spies on him with cell phone in hand while his partner performs the dirty deed .
