"STOLEN...PLEASE READ AND SHARE. Been left feeling totally violated, distressed and deflated today after discovering a heap of fishing tackle/fly tying equipment was stolen from my vehicle last night whilst visiting good friends Richard Tong, Ann & Andy Kitchener, in #ilkley, #westyorkshire. Items included these listed below with some the same, or similar as those photographed here. Speaking with West Yorkshire Police (v helpful...thank you), apparently thieves are using the likes of Shpock - the boot sale app for beautiful things and Gumtree UK these days to shift stolen goods, as well as eBay UK. Please, please, please share this post and keep an eye out for any items. The most valuable belongings are my fly boxes (years of work), Mackenzie prototypes (street value nothing, but nice actions!!!) and my treasured Regal vice. Thank you folks, P…

I will never see any of the stolen items where I'm at, but I do hope the police find the one's responsible.  That is a lot of gear to have taken away and it's a shame this had to happen.
