Bad things can happen anywhere. I've heard of all the same things happening at old hickory and ramps on the river. I'm pretty sure i read in here that a few years back at night a boater was robbing people on the water for fishing gear and money on old hickory. Priest and old hickory are fine during the day. Any ramp, anywhere that you can leave your vehicle and trailer at night can be bad. That's an easy target for a thief because no one is around. Someone could be waiting for you when you get back also. Use discretion at night. Elm hill marina is well lit up, they charge $5 to park, and they have cameras. That scenario is the best option, but i fish out of cooks and seven points at night alot by myself and I've never had any problems, but everytime i pull back up at the ramp I'm praying nobody messed with my stuff.
