Default Help with lost Auger

Hi guys and girls,
This is a long shot I know but I lost an older Jiffy Auger today on the east side of the city. Tailgate was frozen and it fell open, it was a buddy's auger that I was getting work done on.
Please PM if you found said auger today.
Thanks in advance

Specifying the city might help. Good luck finding it; sounds like you're experiencing some bad luck!

Happened in Edmonton.

That's crappy luck for sure. Only downside to the new tonneau covers...can't see the tailgate!
I've followed several guys to tell them their gate was open.

Hopefully someone honest finds it an it's not destroyed.

If its an older model 30 Id bet she fires up first pull and has many more years in it!! Easy to find cheap parts online(amazon) if you get it back and any plastic parts are busted up or something.
Someone should find it, hopefully connects with you on some sort of social media.

Good luck!

Lol, I’m pretty sure if someone found a random auger on the street they would not require you say what city lol

That's a bummer. Have a look in the buy & sell "Fishing" section in AO, somebody's always got an auger for sale.

Well that sucks...chances are she is all beat up anyways and the cost to repair would equal a new/used one....you can find some really good conditioned used ones too maybe even better then what was

Add to that, maybe try the rural District's road maintenance division as maybe a worker picked it up?
