Some POS stole a Yeti 65 out of my truck at a friggin Milton High football game. It had to takemore than one because it was full of ice and water and It will be easy to identify even after they remove the stickers, because THEY CUT THE COOLER TO GET THE LOCK OFF!!!! will give $100 for its return (even if you are the one hat took it) I will give more for private information that leads to its return and the consequences associated with it. It just pisses me off...there was a 130 qt igloo full of ice next to it that they left! Karma is a bitch fellas!

i think people just steal stuff to do it. Tina and I lock things up like a bank, just from habit. the guy next door has never locked his cars since he moved here several years ago, nothing ever stolen, but come on, out of the back of a truck. scum.
Sounds like you live next door to my boss. He would rather someone just open his doors and steal something, rather than them brakes his window and steal something. He says if somebody wants to steal something bad enough, they will do it. I guess its less costly to him. And he lives on the west side of town off Fairfield. Crazy. O*D*W

Curious what was locked on it that had to be broken? I don't own a yeti or know much about them, so was there a handle broken or was the lid locked shut? Just looking on craigslist and don't know of the tell tale sign.

Sorry, I was out of pocket for the weekend. Let me answer a couple questions. I have left this cooler in the back of my truck since it was new. I have a bicycle lock that goes through a factory hole in the cooler that locks it shut and a cable locking it ot the tie down in the bed. This POS cut the corner of the cooler to pull the lock out. If you see this cooler, it will have the left corner cut off. It had a "Hit Man Fishing Team" stickers on front and back that may be ghosted in and the top is stained with red clay. This was no kid looking for a freebie as they left a 130 igloo full of ice with no lock sitting next to it. I have a couple leads and some friends in Santa Rosa county....this is a matter of time.....

I keep a 200 qt in back of my truck. I use turnbuckles, locks, and drilled holes through the underside of the handles to secure it. Sure, it can be taken. But, they gonna have to do more than a snatch and grab...

oh yes, please let me know...I was parked in the lot on the North side, literally very 1st spot next to the school and probably about 30' from Stewart St. if there is a camera, it should absolutely see that spot!! If you could, please PM me the contact info for the principal if you have it. Thanks

Sorry to hear about you cooler. I am always worried that mine will get lifted regardless of it being locked. I use the locking bracket from yeti with a chain I bought from Lowes. So far noone has messed with it. I live in Milton, and will keep an eye open. The bracket system I use can be cut, although it would be a little more difficult.

Gump has a nice secure rig there. Problem is when you go fish with Gump he forgets the key to his Yeti lock so you go without the cooler. Master lock makes a cable unit that goes with the Yeti locking device. That's the one I use. I showed it to Anthony at Outcast and they stock them now. I will post a link, so you can get one for your new Yeti. I hope you catch the person that got your cooler and deliver a little justice.

The link is for Cabela's, but I recommend Outcast. Keep it local.

i have seen the bracket, but honestly, a pair of bolt cutters would go through that chain or lock way faster than these idiots who SAWED THROUGH THE PLASTIC COOLER. I hate to say it, but locks and chains keep honest folks honest..a real thief will go to lengths we can't imagine just to get what they want. I have tried to call the school, but can't get though, I sent the principal an email and I will keep you all posted.

Honestly guys, I would never leave ANYTHING in the back of a pickup truck that I didn't want stolen, especially in the neighborhood of Milton High School.
Sounds to me like maybe scumbags just walk around the parking lot looking to steal things while the game is going on.
