A Good Sign?

[catalac08]

The last postings about thieving scrotes on boats was over a month ago now-can it be taken as a good sign that theft activity is not escalating at the moment?

i have found out that a group of eastern europeans was arresed stealing outboards to go abroard in containers,but some more outboards was stolen a couple of weeks ago,a dealer near me fitted trackers on some outboards that had been stolen think that was how the engines was traced

i assume they will serve their sentence & then be deported

I'm afraid it's more likely people aren't using this forum; on Scuttlebutt someone mentions having a recently refurbished Yamaha 4hp 2 stroke long shaft stolen from his boat in Portsmouth harbour very recently.

I also heard this about Eastern Europeans at a boat meeting, someone asked how much should be spent on these criminals? I had to reply about .70p ............ worth of lead.
Much cheaper for everyone in the long run.

+ 1 for the lead....

I have saved up for EVERYTHING I own... so those thieving little Fu**ers should pay for goods in one way or another..... well, I say this, how about 2 bits of lead.... one for each knee....

Its getting too cold for the thieves to be out, be sure that come Spring there will be some posts!

Keep an eye on the free ad websites and ebay then. Isn't that where a lot of goods turn up? They cost around £1200 new, so I guess there would be a ready market for a cheap 'second hand'. Makes you wonder if you should ever leave your boat unattended... So much for freedom
