Lost at Englewood South Beach parking lot just this morning. Stealth 720i Tube model.

My good friend who spends his winters in sunny Florida left his beach scoop unattended in the parking lot (a big mistake) and it was of course immediately snatched up. Hoping just by chance the finder frequents this forum and is a good samaritan who doesn't know how to find the owner.

I'll contact Chuck (owner at Stealth) to get permission to post up a picture of it. Or you can see the exact model here:

Genuine STEALTH "720"

Makes me sad to think minutes later somebody sprinting away with my friends cherished Stealth scoop....but we all know these days it is likely an unfortunate reality.

Please drop me a message. Fingers crossed.

Tis the season........... we have a lot of people in town and anything left unattended is believed to be fair game for some reason. Ill ask the beach guy and some of the hunters i know or see. Id be surprised if it was a hunter, most likely someone who thought it was a NEAT thing that they could use to dig sharks teeth..... which it aint. Might keep an eye on Craigs List or post there. Wasnt the older guy who swings the WOT on his Xcal was it?

Thanks. Nothing so far has turned up. I'll have him check all the local shops to see if somebody tried to flip it for a quick buck. Nope....he is older but hunts with an AT Pro or Tiger Shark....nicest guy you would ever want to meet. Like having your best fishing buddy lose his favorite fishing pole. Still keeping my fingers crossed......

Nothing has shown up on CL. So my guess would be it went to a local pawn shop or ? He has checked the local 'lost and found' at the beach....no luck.....

How about the Ranger Office at Stump Pass?

Perhaps it was turned in. One can only hope.

Ive not seen him post it on CL??? A good many of us look at CL to help people with lost stuff. I did ask 4 hunters yesterday, the Beach Guy, and beach clean up who went to check the lost and found. NADA. I highly doubt it went to a pawn shop .... aint worth nothing to them and there is only like 3 of them and all are small. Likely in someone garage.

I was washing my gear at lido beach the other day and was washing my stealth scoop when a guy picked up my detector (20 ft away). Had I been looking the other way, it would have been gone. The very same day I had a couple walk up to me on the beach and explain that their brand new $3000 canon camera was swiped right from their towel that they were laying on when they were sun bathing. It sucks that there's so many bad people in town
