A longtime member of WCP had his truck burglarized at the Barnard put-in to Section 9 of the French Broad last week. It happened in broad daylight between about 4 and 5:30 p.m. as he was paddling the river with his stepdaughter. The crooks got away with his wallet, cash, credit cards, tools, clothes and some paddling gear. A black Ford pickup with two black dogs in the back was seen driving away from the scene. Anyone parking at this put-in should keep a close eye out for suspicious activity and report anything to the Madison County Sheriff. If you have information on this case, post back and I will get it to my friend. This is not the first time this has happened.
