Happy New years all. On New Years eve morning i was fortunate enough to be able to take my 73 yo father for his first paddle in beautifully calm early morning conditions only to have the morning spoilt by some greedy little individual who thought they had more rights to my gear than I did and took it upon themselves to smash the front passenger side window on the SUP Truck and steal a bag.

I just thought it would serve as a good reminder to everyone to never be complacent about keeping your stuff completely out of sight. I've got a funny feeling that we were being watched from the time we pulled up as the bag that was stolen was hidden well up under the dash in the footwell and the window tint is dark enough that if you were just walking past and looking in you wouldn't have been able to see it and the bag was also black making it difficult to see.

This happened on Endeavour Rd, La Perouse between 5:30 and 7:00am, so anyone that frequents this area please be aware and don't become complacent because it could happen to anyone.

Thumbs up for your Dad.... thumbs down and a big FU to the scumbag thief!

Yeah too right, nothing gets my goat more than low life thieves that think they're entitled to something that I've worked hard for. Karma Police i'll get em I hope. On the up side it was great getting the old man out for a paddle, been a while since we've done anything like that.

Mate check with the homes in the background of that pic,,they may have CT cameras,
lots of peeps have them now.

only way i'm losing it is if I get completely dacked in a clean up set.

Which is one of the main reasons for wearing a leash...

I usually use a pin number lockbox for my key while in the water. Works well.

Some of my mates attach it to through the door handle or a spoke on their wheel or if you have a fixed tow eye at the back it hangs kinda inconspicuously.
