Well, last night, my wife and I had one of our boats robbed. We left the dock around 5:00 Sunday night, with the bow rider up on the lift, everything put away except for my fishing tube on the back of the boat and a pair of fins left in the rail to dry.
This morning, we got on the boat for an early morning cruise and swim and I found a bunch of my dock line and tube ropes laying were they don't belong, and I don't leave them. I asked my wife if we left them out, knowing the answer already. So we started looking. Found that my dive fins were gone, about 100 feet of anchor line, several dock lines, my emergency signal kit, 6 life vests, and worst of all, a tackle bag I left in the bathroom overnight with almost $2k worth of fishing gear.
So, we've filed a report with the water patrol, and will now have to file a claim with the insurance company. Funny thing is they only grabbed what they could take quickly, they left about 16 life vests behind (nice neophreme connely's), a GPS depthfinder, several fishing rods, lots of rope, including anchor bags and anchors and my float tube - but they did open and empty most of the float tube pockets.
I'd love to find the a%%XXles and introduce them to about 200 feet of water with my anchor tied around their darned feet...
