Bear Island break-ins

Bear Girl · 03-29-2008, 10:20 AM

Below is the text of an e-mail sent by Clint to the BICA Board and then forwarded to most Bear Island Conservation Assoc. members. Since I do not have everyone's e-mail address, one member suggested I post it here as well. Maybe someone will see something or knows something?! Very sad.

Hi and FYI,

This appears to have been a banner year for break-ins on Bear Island. There has been quite a bit of activity opposite the Cattle Landing. In addition,
over this past weekend (March 22-23) it is my understanding from Island Services and the Meredith Police that break-ins have occurred at the following
camps:

Cail (Anne) 39
Smith 41
Chen 44
Dougan 45 All doors bashed in, kitchen cabinets / closets opened, debris on floor. Appeared to be looking for alcohol, cash, guns and
anything else small and valuable.

Bachovchin 47
Ylvisaker 51
Wilson 52
Wieneke 53
Collins 56

I was at my camp on Thursday (3/27) with the police and Island Services. The ice appears to be safe (20" to 26" according to Island Services) in
case you want to check out your property. Keep an eye out for anything suspicious. These guys appear to be traveling by snowmobile or ATV.
Sorry about the bad news but wanted to alert everyone to the problem. Hopefully this will be the end of it.

Clint

Thanks Bare Girl.

I hope you don't wait another 4 years before your next post.

For a moment I read it as: before you showed yourself

He did call her Bare girl instead of Bear girl, maybe he knows something we don't.

I wonder if it is the same scundrels that have vandalized many Bobhouses on the lake this year, have not heard of any leads on that either.

I was wondering the exact same thing...

So sorry for all those who were broken into.Unfortunately this has gone on as long as I can remember......mostly bored teenagers,since real crooks know there is not much of value in island homes and camps.We are lucky to live in an area with very little crime.Violent crimes against strangers are almost unheard of and there is not a street in the lakes region that I wouldn't walk on in the wee hours.Most serious crimes are crimes of passion or drug related among people who are known to each other.
I still rarely lock my truck or home unless I plan on being gone for a long time.
I've had my business broken into 4 times in a 20 year period and fortunately,thanks to security camera's and good work by the Moultonborough P.D.,the bad guys (kids) have been apprehended.
Don't let a bad experience spoil your enjoyment of the area...it's still one of the best places to live and vacation in America.

Just my $.02 but if I were a victim I'd get together with the others, make a list of exactly what was stolen then keep an eye on Craigs List, Ebay and even the old Want Advertiser.

More than once when things were stolen from our boat club down in Mass we found them using one of these types of services to unload them
Good Luck I hope you catch the bastards
