STOLEN ITEM FROM RIVERCITY AQUATICS

[Jake at River City]

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.

Ouch that hurts. Growing up in a family with both parents owning/running their own small businesses, it's frustrating to hear stuff like this. Hopefully the culprit or recipient will encounter the worst case of bryopsis and red bubble algae ever seen.

Holy cow. Who would be brazen enough to carry out a sump!
So sorry that happened!

[Kristy]

Awful to hear. We can all keep our eyes peeled in case someone is trying to sell one on here or craigslist, etc.

Jake,

I am sorry to hear of this kind of behavior happening in and around our reef community.

Best wishes in locating that person and recovering your item.

so sad that people are like this. sorry for loss

[Neptune@gabesfish]

Sorry that this happened .. We will be on look out and if we see or hear anything we will let you know,although I think I would just end up giving them the beat down as if it were the same guy who stole from me...

Jake. I've always liked that you and your staff occasionally keep the front door open (it is very inviting), especially in this beautiful weather. I am sorry that someone took advantage of your staff actually helping customers and leaving the front of the store unmanned.

Keep an eye on craigslist.

Hope something good comes out of this.

Do you have a picture or a link to the model of sump that was stolen so we know what to be on the look out for?

[Mr Cob]

So sorry to hear about this. Thanks for informing us so that we can all keep an eye open.

[aggman]

maybe we can put a thread in the announcements forum so that everyone can see this. being in corpus and rarely going to austin i never look at these sub-forums. i just happened to be talking to someone who did see it and...well you know.

all members need to be on the lookout for this...and to think this was a customer that has more than likely been there before and will come again.

Thanks Bill. I didn't see that he posted the model in the OP. The picture still helps.

Wow!!! that is insane...sure it wasn't an inside job????

[dpotts]

That's horrible Jake...sorry that it happened. I was there getting water Monday at lunch time but didn't notice anything ....that just sucks! Karma will get them, always does.

I wonder if it's the same Person that stole from Gabe's and reef central. Who ever it is, they have some @#$%, and no respect for hard honest working people nor the hobby or the hobbyist.

FS: Precision Marine sump $50 Brand new

That sucks, definitely takes some sack to walk out with something large. Hope you catch them.

[mamapuff]

That's just so sad. Maybe we can get a group of volunteer bouncers to come work there. I will!

[Sherri]

Sorry to hear about this...really sad that someone could stoop so low...

[carong]
