Sorry for your loss. In a tragic twist, I lost my collection in an ice fishing mishap.

Ice fisching can be brutal.

Back when we lived in MI, an ice floe broke loose, carrying away a bunch of fischermen - and not a few trucks.

Can you imagine how expensive it is to get your truck off an ice flow?

Anyway, after the trucks were rescued - at least those that were insured - the coast guard showed up in a hovercraft, to rescue the fischermenn. Twenty guys on the ice, only ten could fit in the boat.

A general riot broke out.

Over who had to go first.
