PLEASE SHARE!! Today my SUP was STOLEN out of our garage. It was a 10'6" CANNIBAL shaped by AJ. Filing a police report now- if you see someone with it please call the police. This had to be premeditated by someone with access to the building and a truck...we recently had the building painted by Anchor so it could be one of the many workers who came through.

Not sure if you're garage was open or not, but I wanted to make people aware that most garages can be broken into with a simple coat hanger. There are devices out there to protect against that, but the standard install is wide open to being broken into.

Anchor is the process of painting the cove condo complex in S mel beach.

The place has been crime free for as long as I can remember.
Since the paint project started about 2 months ago..
a $2000 paddleboard stolen
A $40k Honda accord stolen
2 garages broken into somehow..
2 cars broken into (not sure what was stolen)
attempts to steal kayaks were thwarted by an owner in the middle of the night.


no proof but it appears those Anchor employees or contractors were casing the place.

Request for additional sheriff patrols got nowhere.


Good luck recovering your board. Thieves suck!

thank you Sean O'hare

Delicious beer comes from here

So sorry that happened to you. How could we get the police to investigate this obvious link between Anchor and these thefts? 

Garages Probably broken into with a metal coat hanger - takes all of 6 seconds. Look it up on youtube. BTW, your front door can probably be compromised just as quick. Think a deadbolt is safe? Think again. Unless its a Medeco, a crook can get through just about any lock in under 10 seconds.

Not sure if related, but I inadvertantly foiled what was going to be a robbery at my house last week. It was the same wannabe thugs that were caught in Indialantic about 3 hours after I caught them walking up my driveway towards my open garage door. I just happened to walk out into my garage when they were making their move. I confronted them and they took off. About 30 minutes later, they went into an open garage on Wayne Ave and were caught in the act by that homeowner, and they even pulled a gun on him. Ended up getting caught by IPD,MPD and SO with their heli. Had a friend come over today, lives on 7th ave, his wife crossed paths with them at their house the same day! Dont leave your garage door open if youre not out there! Oh, and they were from W. Melbourne, not locals, and all but 2 were juveniles. It made it into Florida Today.

Any luck Clyde?

If you want to hit a home run, you have to swing the bat.

No Luck yet... It had to be premeditated and the thieves would have to have a truck. The garages close automatically after each car and it's only an 8 unit complex. That's crazy about the number if items gone missing at the Cove after the building was painted. I do know the owner of Anchor and alerted him of what happened.
