So I get ready to go out detecting today and the detector is not in the car. No biggie I figure I left it inside for the night because I usually bring it in after the days spoils have been found. I look look look and its gone.......pinpointer and digger still in the car right next to it. Checkbook, cds, work tools, all still there. A crime of opportunity no doubt because I probably left the car open. Lesson learned. Im really mad and im sure you guys know how you would feel. The V3i was pretty costly so ill have to save for a bit to get another machine. Maybe an e-trac this time. I dont know but this really sucks. I was off to my best start ever. My silver record is 27 and I set that last year. I already have 20 on the books for this year. I was setting my sights on 50 or more if I had any luck whatsoever. Things like this usually dont happen where I live as its a very quiet family oriented area with lots of kids. So I made out a police report and checked a few pawn shops. I may put a sign up in the corner store offering a reward no questions asked and hopefully I can get it back for a couple hundred or so. Any Ideas would be great. Still cant believe shes gone........
