Seagrove Thief

Whew...from the title of the thread I thought that Seagrove had been stolen, which would wreak havoc on the already beleaguered directional sign situation.

Sorry about your iPod. Thieves suck.

So this past weekend an Ipod was stolen out of the drive way of my house in Seagrove. I orginally thought it was just "misplaced" but now I have learned that it was in fact truely stolen. Other neighbors have reported wallets, ipods, xm radios, and cameras also stolen from their cars.

Just a friendly BEWARE! :angry:

You sure you did not just leave it in the driveway Thursday night?


(jk, I'm really sorry this happened to you)

Thanks for that heads up Jfunn! We get a tad too laid back when we are here. ;-)

So we are up to a bike and an iPod. Are we under a crime wave again?

Might I add that the ipod was in the glove box hooked up to the radio. So it was not in clear sight.

No, but I think when multiple ipods, xm radios, wallets, and digital cameras were stolen it deserve a mention. But thanks for the concern

I think there are definitely some folks roamin' the 'grove who are up to no good. I always lock my doors and don't have anything of value (to anyone besides me anyway) yet Walton County's finest were called because I had a late night yard/bedroom window visitor last week. :angry:

The Seagrove peeper?

If they were a peeper, they had some bad taste in windows - I shut the shades to keep the sunrise from waking me before the alarm and it was during the cold snap so there were flannel pjs too! :rofl:

But seriously, there is no reason for ANYONE to be walking around my yard and within a foot of my bedroom window at midnight on a sunday. :angry:

I am sorry jfunn that you had your ipod stolen.

Is this all just unsupervised kids running around in the night? That doesn't make them any less of a theif, but it always seems to kick up this time of year.

Saw four Sheriff's Deputies handcuff a kid (with pink handcuffs -- three of the officers were females) who could have been no more than 11 years old, around the corner from the Red Bar, two Sundays ago, for breaking into cars in Grayton. He was crying hard when the deputies paraded him through the Red Bar, looking for his mother. They came back outside, and the Deputies had a long chat with the kid's mother, asking what she was going to do about the problem, and that they would base their decision of what to do, based on her action. I guess they worked it all out, and they let the kid go. Don't know if the boy actually stole anything. Funny thing is that out of the six or seven of us who were standing outside watching it unfold, three of us keep our keys in the car with the windows down. I said that if he wanted to steal something out of my car, hopefully he would have to remove some of the trash before he would realize that there is nothing in my car to steal.

I had to go to Ft Lauderdale Thursday and Friday and when I stopped by my showroom on Saturday to pick up my computer, I discovered that someone had been throwing rocks at my building and broke one of my storefront windows. Probably just kids with too much energy, but it will set me back $525 to replace that glass. :shock:
Must have been that full moon out there creating mischief! :angry:

Had an incident where the thief, this was during spring break and the police said there were several simlar break-ins, cut my convertible top for entry. NOthing of value for them to take but police suggested not locking convertible to avoid having damage to top. Good advice and I don't lock car now.
Sorry for your loss jfunn.

soft top jeeps have the same cut-in problems.

i have experience that

This really does suck, jfunn. I'm glad I had nothing of value with me since we left that house unlocked most of the time--couldn't figure out how to lock the back.

Around here, you get robbed when you lock your doors. Makes a thief think you got something to steal.

I hope that ipod shocks the sheet out of those stealers.

Sorry about your IPOD J-funn. OK, now you don't owe me a tuna dip if that makes you feel better.

Theft has always been a problem on 30A, now more so than ever. I've been hit three times.

Once they stole the hammocks out that were hanging in our breezeway. The sheriff said that spring breakers often take home 'salvage hunt' items as souveniers. OK, great. But isn't that still theft?

Another time, I left my truck window down, as I usually do, and someone took the daytimer, checkbook and cd case off my front seat.

The final time, before I moved off of 30A, someone walked into my home and stole all of my camera equipment, lenses, filters, tripod the works, along with a Guess Jacket (12 years ago), my diamond "divorce" ring, my dead brother's aquamarine, my wedding band and a gold and diamond watch that was a wedding present from my wife.

None of the above was locked or locked up because I had this false sense of security about everything being so peachy on 30A.

Reality check. Lock it or lose it.:angry:

My Jeep was sliced and diced 2 years ago. They couldn't get the stereo out so they destroyed it with a knife. They also punched out the windshield. I have never locked it since. (they did get 25 months in state prison) Someone did go through it the Friday before last in Seagrove. They opened the glove box and threw out the owner's manual. There were folding chairs in the back they didn't even touch. I have a feeling that whoever is doing this is not very bright and will be caught soon.

Jessifunn, that really sux! Thank you for the warning. And, Scooterbug - that is just plain scary! Is this kind of activity worse in Seagrove than other places along 30A? Just wondering because I'm browsing for a rental for me and hubby. Someone please tell me it's still wonderful.....please?.....It has been ages since actually living in Walton County for me.

Also, do people normally chain their bikes on 30 A now? I lived with my husband in Holland for a while, and there are two types of bicycles there - stolen, and soon-to-be.

Sorry about your IPOD J-funn. OK, now you don't owe me a tuna dip if that makes you feel better.

it was the best tuna dip i have ever had

Don't worry, it's still wonderful here! The stuff we are talking about is actually news/an issue to us because we are so spoiled by the lack of crime.

I'd get my butt kicked, groped, and robbed if I was as casual about security in some of the places I've lived/visited as I am here.

Locking my bike hasn't been an issue as it's either with me, or indoors to protect it from rust, but I may dig one out for longer shopping trips to Publix etc.
