Bag of Tools Stolen: Reward

A bag of tools was stolen out of a back Toyota Tacoma parked on Newton Road in Weott last night. “My son installs solar and all of his tools were stolen out of his truck,” a reader wrote us. “This is the second time it has happened, and we are offering a reward.”

The tool bag was black with yellow handles and there were mostly electrical tools in there, also a lot of pliers, screwdrivers, and a few measuring tapes, according to a family member.

The family is offering $200–“no questions asked.” Please call (707) 223 2084 if you can help.

Keep all valuables (or even bags that valuables could be in) hidden out of sight if possible. There’s too many low lifes out there.

Its been tweeky for awhile now. Dealer lives on street back behind the old gas station thats painted with bright colors. Same guy crashed his rv/van into 3 fences in one night bout a year back. Then there’s that tweeker, [edit], he’s been stealing for years around there. When he was caught red handed as a teenager and his family confronted, they played it down and took him to the X games a week later. That young man has never learned any repercussions for his actions. Now he’s a young man and from what i heard recently, is still up to know good. If stuff is missing, that’s where to check first or ask his mom at the grocery store. The other dealer [edit], finally left town but only after he killed his neighbor first. Sad times for Weott. It use to be such a quaint lil town, hopefully someday it will bounce back.

Hate to say it but, check the pawn shops in Fortuna and Eureka. They are supposed to be picky in what they buy to avoid stolen items, they don’t seem to be in real life. Also Craigslist Humboldt, things have been recovered on there form local burglaries as well..

If it were a ladies purse that got stolen, everyone would say “You know better than to leave your purse in the car when you are not there.” And then they would roll their eyes.

This poor guy had his tools stolen once… but he continues to leave his stuff out in his truck. I hate to tell you, but that’s asking for a repeat of the prior situation.

Next time you get tools take them inside with you when you leave, or buy a locking cap for your truck and an alarm system. Before you say that’s too much work, that’s life everywhere now. If you want your stuff, you have to take care of it. Otherwise the idiots who think they’re entitled to your stuff will come along and take it. That’s just simple “how it is nowdays”. Sorry, it bites, but ever since the governor cleaned out the jails to “save money” it’s reality here like everywhere else.

Considering your truck is a thief-magnet, how about rigging up a dye pack to a pile of thrift shop rusted metal in a bag just a-laying out there in plain view? You might have some fun watching bright purple splattered thieves try to explain the permanent dye all over their faces and clothes to others. Various types of this material are widely available, here’s a link to one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009DMKYIY?psc=1

AHAHAHA I Was thinking along the same lines. Maybe a tool bag with a car airbag in it that goes off if opened. Thumb tacks as well.
