Columbia fly fishing vest with Australian logo - Priceless.

No this is not some form of great new fishing gear, it’s instead a case of societie’s scum ripping off good honest working folk.

The theft took place on the Spalding to Burra Road in South Australia on Friday 23rd of July at around 7.45 pm. After smashing the front driver’s window of the white Hilux Dual Cab with an old wooden white post, the thieves stole everything from the car before speeding off towards Burra.
