Boat Thieves Caught ..

[Divemaster1]

These guys got caught in Norway.... not as a result of the theft, but as people thought in un-safe and reported the load.... and yes, the small crane on the lorry had lifted her.... (boat transport anyone ?)

Unbelievable - on one hand you have to admire their ingenuity at getting it loaded, but on the other, question their stupidity that they thought that they'd actually get away with it, without being noticed!

Looks a reasonable set up to me all they needed was a set of articulated trolley wheels under the stem, and a red flag on the bow, and away

Don't forget the Veiculo Longo sign that all dangerous oversized trailers need!

The amount of completely wacky loading setups i've seen on the French motorways with one of those signs on the back is numerous!

And look how cunningly disguised with the rusty old tin shed roof

That is the fly bridge !

Hmm.. you would need to watch the rear swing out as you turned left or right at traffic lights.. but think how cheap and easy launching would be, just empty her off the back over the quayside - no need for a crane.

It's the new sea-legs cruiser model by the look.

Surely better to hot wire it then take it somewhere quiet and transport it properly.

You're assuming these dipsticks can think aren't you? Bit of a leap of faith that!
