Parking lot of the Flour Bluff Whataburger when I was picking up breakfast.
Two surf rods secured by a bike cable to a rod holder bolted to the tailgate extender. They took off the bolts securing the tailgate extender and snatched it all in one piece.
Lost two 12' Fenwick's, two Penn Fierce 7000's, a 4 place aluminum rod holder, the tailgate extender and a case of water.
This is the second time in two years, I'm starting to get rather annoyed. |

Man that sucks. Sorry that happened to you. I always leave someone at the truck if I'm running in anywhere for that reason. If you're alone, maybe try curbside?

| Sorry to hear that john. I'd be more than a little annoyed. Did you check with Whataburger to see if they have security cameras outside that they can pull a video from? |

Wow, bold parking lot hit. The parking spaces are very visible from inside too. Have a sinking feeling just hearing about it. I've been accosted several times by panhandlers at the ice machine just down the street and no longer get ice there. _________________ kick your shoes off and cast a line |

???? How is that even possible.... Everywhere one goes these days is on tape somewhere! H#LL, even walking down the street you get picked up by various doorbell cameras.  |

It's very simple. No cameras are pointed at the parking lot. What they do have is concentrated on the drive thru and entrances along with the inside registers.
They also will not supply you with any footage. |

Gee. Another reason to not patronize Whataburger. They used to be THE burger joint.
Five thousand open jobs in the Coastal Bend, and these creeps would rather steal than work!

I'm going to dispute that. I was at the 'Leaping Lizard' Bar in the Bluff last night, for Billiards League play, and the TV behind the bar had MULTIPLE camera feeds, and a number of them included the parking lot (I know, because my White Jeep was front and center on the screen). If the Leaping Lizard can have adequate security cameras, surely a corporation like Whataburger has at least that level of coverage.

Do you get cheaper insurance with or without more cameras? Is there another "money" incentive besides insurance? Petty lawsuits with cameras vs. no cameras? _________________ "In your guts you know he's nuts" |

I think the issue here is, they probably do have camera's, but just for their own use, not their customers in their lot.
They likely don't want to get involved in an issue they believe doesn't involve them.
You would likely have to have the police force the issue or get a court order to release the footage.
This is unbelievable this happened that fast, right there... _________________ Steve-O

If they came on my property and stole from me or anyone and I have video of it, I owe it to you and the cops. Duh? _________________ Danny |
