[tillergirl]

Went out to TG this afternoon; first time since Thursday afternoon, to find padlock hasp cut off and the boat entered. Theft is bizarre. So bizarre so lets see if anyone can guess what has been stolen.........

You got it Jerry.

The starboard bunk mattress has been taken!



It's going to be a real b*gg*r to match the existing fabric; in fact impossible. The company that supplied them does not exist anymore.

The whole thing is bizarre. They have gone down two lines of moorings of 90 boats and picked me. 'They' boltcropped the hasp and released the padlock putting it carefully on the coachroof under the sprayhood alongside the hatch. Then they have removed the two hatchboards and entered, finding the small torch in clips just to the right of the hatch. Nothing is disturbed down below, just the mattress missing. 2 pairs of bins left, radio, GPS, Navtex even a copy of CTTE(!) left untouched. Bottles of wine untouched. Then they have returned into the cockpit and obviously lifted each of the four cockpit locker lids; in one the tool kit is open; maybe a pair of pliers missing (not sure), in another the bosun's box is open but nothing obviously missing (perhaps looking for a key before they banjoed (technical term) the padlock hasp) and in the third removed the ensign and staff which was lying on top of two mooring warps which they took (one completely unused!). They replaced the hatchboards correctly (can be a fiddle if they got them the wrong way round but they didn't), pulled the hatch over and placed the ensign and staff neatly on top.

So why would you pick TG to steal a bunk mattress?
