A post from another external site to anglers about an unfortunate incident. Original posted on May 12, 2011:

I met with the Parks Dept Leader in LaPorte today and she told me that someone broke in and destroyed all their fishing poles and reels for their Kid's Day Camp this summer. To make it even worst the person who did it, did not take the equipment but just trashed it. I told her that I'd try to get the word out to Indiana Fisherman/Fisherwomen and see if we couldn't get some replacements. They do not need new stuff. Does anyone have any rods/reels that would be good for kids sitting around gathering dust? They have about 30 kids in their Day Camp and we are going to do a week of fishingfor them in June. They also will use these all summer long. If you are willing to donate to help kids fish, let me know and we'll see how we can pull it together. If you want to ship things you could mail them to me. Or possibly we can connect in another way. My mailing address is :

How sad; someone who gets off by taking happiness away from children

. I'm betting they end up with even better equipment than they already had!

I sent you a PM but to add on to that... Include you email or phone number in the package and ask for the follow up story on this incident.

Feel free to say that you saw this message on Outdoor-Fishing.com. I would be more than willing to post a follow up story myself if I can get an email or phone (email would be better).

Let us know how it goes!
