Worrying... Was it nicked from a marina or on a swinging mooring?

'Jeanie Marie' a Moody 44, was on a mid-stream pile mooring just upstream from Universal Marina. She was reported missing on Tuesday this week when her owner came down to check on her for the first time since early December. What little information we have suggests that she was taken at some time in January. Obviously, any sightings should be notified to the police.

Isn't our language interesting. I am not taking issue, just an observation around the word 'nicked'. Thieves are 'scoundrels - scallywags', murderers get labels like 'Jack the Ripper' etc etc almost as celebrities.
Someone has taken this boat with the intention of permanently depriving the owner of it. As such they have stolen the boat and that puts the thief/thieves in the category of ignorant common or garden (sp?) nasty 'animals' who by their actions have given up the right to be part of a civilised society. They do not deserve to be labelled as 'scoundrels' etc, or other romantic labels, they should be cast out to the lowest level of our society and denied access to it. One of the main tenets of our society is the right to own property. We work very hard in order to aquire property and the freedom that comes with it. For some low life scum to come and take it as his/hers is simply not acceptable.
Jack the Ripper was a MURDERER, the thing that stole this boat is a COMMON THIEF probably of very low intellect and they STOLE the boat, they didn't nick it.

I suspect the thief actually has a rather high intellect. I guess one proof point will be if the boat is ever recovered.

Good point - but I did say 'probably'.
I wonder how the thief would feel if someone stole THEIR property - or perhaps they are unable to comprehend the concept of private property.
I have so far been very lucky having only had a cell phone stolen from my car - but I do remember the anger I felt that someone should consider themselves as having the right to take my personal property.

Why do they think it was stolen (as opposed to breaking its mooring)?

A Moody 44 is hardly likely to crash its way down a mile and half of the Hamble River without someone noticing! Or if it went the other way it would have stuck on the road bridge.

what gets me is the fact that boat owners tend to leave thousands of pounds worth of boat just sitting there for months without checking on them , and then how does someone suddenly come along and nick it , I mean , how do they do it ? , just break in and take it off for a cruise ? , crane charges would make lifting out a bit awkward so surely they're experienced enough to take a boat out in winter , which makes me think that it has to be a boaty type involved here

Stolen to order to suit cloned or forged docs? Or maybe to replace an older or damaged model that could be scuttled somewhere deep? Or just a wannabe liveaboard taking the easy way out?
I would guess that a fair bit of research went into this. You would have to be VERY lucky (even if experienced sailor) to get away with this on impulse. Even a liveaboard would need a substantial passage to get somewhere "safe".

I think misterg may have a very slight point about possibility it broke free from its mooring.
My boat is on the Hamble, moored fore and aft to risers from a chain on the river bed, a bit south of the missing Moody, and thankfully my insurers insisted on doubling up the mooring lines going down to the risers.
In December there was 'a bit of a blow' and I came down to the boat and found one chafed through line where it was rubbing the teak gunwhale strip. Fortunately the second bow line was holding.
However I cannot believe that a 44 footer would have vanished without assistance from the Hamble, the wind would have blown it ashore in that particular storm.
Perhaps the drifting boat was a temptation. .....

Neednt be - you salvage it you have a legal right to compensation. Something from nothing rather than a boat difficult to hide/shift
