Stolen dinghy and outboard, River Medway

[MedwayGirl]

Our dinghy and outboard was stolen during the night while we onboard our boat.
Please be aware there are thieves operating on the Medway.
Dinghy is a 12 foot dark green plastic pioneer tender, which we would love back if anyone sees it.
Outboard is a tohatsu, don’t expect we will see it again
Stolen from moorings opposite Segas and Gillingham Strand, on Hoo side.
Please look out for the dinghy.

Sorry to hear that, I'll copy this to the Rochester club page.

Are there any distinguishing features or name on it?

Have you notified Medway VTS, in case someone has found it abandoned somewhere?

Just a thought. Are you sure it was stolen? Did the painter come undone overnight? I have known this in the past.

Hopefully you get your dinghy back soon.

It was double tied and on a loop so no, it was definitely stolen.
Medway VTS and MSBA both aware, thanks for the ideas tho.
Ive attached pictures - the dinghy is a big green plastic shabby thing - quite distinctive.
Thanks all,
Chrissie

Ouch.....that's a bit to near to home! We spent Friday night on a mooring just a few hundred yards from you leaving our tender alongside, and spookily ours is a dark green plastic one to. We did however take the outboard off for the night. I know another Hooness club member had his dinghy and outboard disappear from alongside his boat overnight last year, if I remember correctly the dinghy was found the next day abandoned up river towards Chatham, minus the outboard.
