Keep your Freinds Close and Your Enemies Even Closer and Your GPS Even Closier

As reported in the Digital Journal http://digitaljournal.com/article/340770

You could be one of many that may have a bad relationship breakup, or two, or three. When a relationship ends, it is usually customary to return things that belong to your former significant other and vice-versa. If you do not, a breakup could turn from bad or to even worse depending on what you think is at stake. You could have something value that belonged to that significant other or vice-versa and it could be sold off for some money. Ask yourself this question: What is the worst thing or things you can lose after the relationship?

In the case of one man in New Zealand, the breakup with a jilted girlfriend cost him his passion for fishing. The man, after the breakup, refused to give the ex-girlfriend back her favorite suitcase which was deemed valuable. In what could be seen as an act of revenge or “cause and effect,” the woman who went by Angela Potter decided to sell off something valuable of his. However, the thing of value is neither physical nor tangible; but, this thing is valuable enough if you are passionate about the outdoor activity/sport of fishing. If you love fishing enough, what Potter auctioned off would be something you may be tempted to pay a good amount of money for.

This is an example of how valuable information can be. In response to the ex-boyfriend not returning Potter's suitcase, she responded by using an online auction site. She auctioned off her ex-boyfriend's secret fishing spots. Surprisingly, Potter's auction received a lot of views. At the end, Potter received $3K for auctioning off the GPS coordinates of the ex-boyfriend's secret fishing spot. One should understand the meaning of “secret fishing spot” and why it's called a secret in the first place. As the ex-boyfriend left with Potter's prized luggage, she in return auctioned off his secret fishing spot.


Ouch, now that was way over the top. Beware a woman scorned... How much could a piece of luggage cost? Surely not as much as the mapquest to fishing nihrvana. A lot of people refuse to use their gps to find a fishing spot, the whip and Lindberg flash are two. If you do use waypoints to find a secret spot just think how much time and effort went in to finding that exact spot. Now multiply the prevailing wage, before right to work ofcourse, by the time it took and add the price of gas used to find said spot and you get an idea of what could be lost. A pricey piece of luggage might cost $300, she got $3000, depending on the spots auctioned off he could have spent $300,000 in a lifetime of fishing to find them. All's fair in love and war but just remember if you throw a piece of bread on the water it could come back a thousand fold...

Get Outdoors Downriver.
