One of my constituants got hit real HARD! Face it, this could have been one of us. Let's see if we can help him out. Here's the letter he gave me. Tight lines, Guy

Man that really stinks.. Make sure to keep your eyes on the pawn shops in the area as well as the classifieds. I am sure it was someone that will be selling it off.

Don't Penn Internationals have a serial number? If they do, I would recommend that you record yours.
Most police departments have some one that checks all new pawn tickets once a week, looking for stolen merchandise. If you report the serial numbers of the reel, then there is a good chance you will get it back. Provided its pawned local to where it was stolen.
