As much as this sucks . . . . . like the raffle boat recently stolen . . . it is a part of life these days.
I know up here on the Central Coast i have heard of complete vehicle and trailers stolen at Terrigal & also Cabbage Tree bay - Norah Head ocean ramps in the 35 years i have lived here
The whole stretch from the Entrance bridge to right to Norah Head if you park anywhere along those beach access stops . . . the opportunity has presented itself for the less desirables . . . . to at their leisure do as they please.
Pelican Beach use to be the worst of the lot and the old tip before they built Magenta Shores on top of it.
I was fishing with my father one day at north entrance and we left our vehicle and trailer at the ramp by the co-op
after we had our fun , we retreived the boat and jumped in the car (which was still locked) and the glove compartment had been riflied through and some its contents were left on the passenger seat.. . . there was only change in the glovy . . nothing more
The thief had even gone to the trouble to lock the vehicle afterwards . . .but we noticed . .. never parked there again
If you go up that way occassionally you will see shattered glass on the ground . . .which brings only one thing to mind.
When i have shot on the beach along there i always park my vehicle on the roadside in the hope that this deters them somewhat.
But as we all know this can happen anywhere . . anytime no matter what your doing.
