Jake@River City Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Monday afternoon a Precision Marine R36 sump/refugium was stolen from River City Aquatics. As embarrassing as it is that such a large item can be stolen from our shop, I feel appalled that this behavior is happening in our reef community. Actions like this are devastating to small businesses. It ultimately affects us all with increases in prices to absorb losses. Security measures have been implemented. If anyone has any information on this stolen item, please contact us. For my honest customers, I really do appreciate your support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexKilpatrick Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Is it possible it was sold and just not recorded properly? Have you thought about just having a simple camera pointed at the door? Also, it was entirely possible it was just stolen by someone who happened to be looking for an opportunity to steal The idea being "if it is big it must be worth something" It wasn't necessarily a local reefer. I actually have this same sump, but mine is old and scummy so nobody report me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Vash Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Lowe's sells cheap cameras. I think a pack of four in about 100 or less. May not be the best but they work. I'd help you install them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBoy251 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I am also sorry about your lost and to know that in this hobby that someone will do something like that, do you have a pic just in case it may have make it way to this area?

slowdog Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 That really sucks Jake! I'm really sorry to hear that it happened to you. The LFS are ultimately supported by the local reefing community and it's really sad to see someone in the hobby do something like that to a local small business. I was just thinking that the $1000 coral theft reported on Reef Builders last week seemed really crazy and now this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbnj Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Man, that really sucks Jake...sorry to hear that. Everyone, check the Reef Central classifieds too. Maybe we'll get lucky and the friggin' idiot who stole it will post if for sale on the ARC classifieds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsprinkle Rainbowsmile Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Jake I feel like I stole from you during your holiday sale. I bought that oceanic tank, mh lights, and skimmer from you for below market prices. You don't deserve this! I'm gonna stop by this weekend to do a little shopping. I hope you catch whoever did this.
