OLYMPIA, Wash. -- The owner of a stolen boat took to the air to find his $180,000 pleasure craft.

An hour and a half after Steve Boone rented an airplane and took off from Olympia Airport, he spotted the 34-foot boat, then followed it from above as it was towed along a highway until two people were stopped and arrested Thursday.

"I was in shock. It's like somebody slapped me in the face," said Boone, the owner of Northwest Harley-Davidson in Lacey.
