Where to find stuff you left on the beach?

[SHELLY]

So my advice is GW- go claim your booty!!

I agree!

Somehow I can't see the police taking seriously a "stolen property" report from someone who left stuff out on the beach overnight...if they do, the SWPD has too much manpower and should do a little downsizing.

The PD just needs to hand these folks a 25-page missing property report to fill out and then just file it in the shredder.

IMO...We've had it up to here <making chopping motion over my head> with you people leaving your garbage strewn all over the beach at night..."Move it, or lose it!"

There are some blue and yellow beach chairs that have been left to the east of the Eastern Lake outfall for over a week. Tried to call the company for a friendly heads up, but no answer. Will make more calls tomorrow. Thought for sure they would be gone and removed from the beach by now.

Sure, I'm clear on the policy and in the spirit of full disclosure- the friend is me.

I left my bike at Ed Walline (at the bottom of the beach access on sand) and went for walk down the beach. I unexpectedly ended up running into my own family and a few friends at Spooky Lane. We drank a beer and came up with some impromptu dinner plans. In my haste to get us all off the beach and to dinner I completely forgot about my bike.

So...

My presumption is that it is gone forever. No worries. But I owe it to myself to go check (if there is a place for doing so). I seem to remember people posting after Remove it or Lose it was implemented saying that they were able to retrieve kayaks and such. Where was that? Contact info?

Thanks!

From now on lock your bike to a wooden post on the boardwalk or something. If they're going to take it, make them work for it!

One snip with a bolt cutter isn't anyone's idea of "work." ;-)

Or you can go to code enforcement and get a tag to go on your item and they will leave it on the beach. That is for the turtles that can read.

They don't issue permits for bicycles and beach tents, chairs, etc. I thought you were up to date on these issues. ;-)

Geo...did you say you left your bike on the beach? Sorry, dude...that's a first for me. Are there no bike racks at the public accesses? If you get your bike back (and I hope you do!) invest in a lock and park smart!

Sorry to hear about your bike Geo. Sounds like a perfectly good explanation to me. I think lectures to SoWal members are a :nono1: :roll:
I hope ShallowsNole's post helped you. Good Luck!

The voice of experience???;-) (on the cutting end that is??)

This calls for a bicycle song.

I'd like to see all y'all in a debate
ItzKatzTime can moderate.



Somehow this one got very funny, too!!!



It was nice when we could set up our stuff for the weekend. Some people (probably tourists, as all of us care too much) abused this and left stuff behind that had broken or didn't want any longer.

I spied a bike for five days just before Hurricane Dennis.....obviously left by a tourist. And, I said to myself, "If that bike is here tomorrow, it's a sign from the Universe that it's mine and I am taking it." The next morning, which was 24 hours before the storm, I ran into TDC making off with it! Dangitall!

Also prior to the new law: one year, we had a party and I took the Christmas Tree (with its ornaments dangling from it) to the beach. We left it overnight cause, well we were at diminished capacity. The next morning, I get calls from neighbors on the beach that TDC was trying to take my tree. They were told to please leave it and the owner would retrieve it.

We thought about leaving it all season and people could decorate with it beach treasures, but someone would have taken it......now, we have the new law!

Can't leave anything behind.......and, I knew when I bought my cottage that the relaxed atmosphere we have for not having to tie up bikes, etc.......would soon depart us.

If TDC or someone with the County (official) didn't get your bike, a Spring Breaker did.......
