Thanks for that offer Wilbul, that's caring and sharing, I'll see if we can contact the owner and obtain the details.

That is a bummer....every bassers worst nightmare!
I will keep en eye out, if I see anything I will make alarm. I hope someone find your boat and catch the culprit.

Just to let everyone know that James has recovered his boat, well the hull at least. Everything else had been stripped, even the trailer was taken :blue-cry: :blue-sad: :blue-mad:

James's boat was recoved at Skaapkrall/10th avenue Ottery/Grassy park.

When the police found the boat, it was still on the trailer....When he arrived to collect ..NO TRAILER....all fishfinders, rods and lures, motor, trolling motor and seats have been stripped from the boat.....Kak one in anybodys book.

James will tell all when he signs on.

I did, well not really a prediction but more of a modus operandi.
My last comment stands and thats, I hope they catch the bastards :blue-evil:

My friend had a boat stolen and they shot the hull full of holes and dumped it in the bay. It didn't sink and was found the next morning bobbing around. It was pulled out and with some very clever Police work they traced the flowers they found on and in the hull to one street and nailed the bastards.

Surprisingly it was fairly well off white folk with lots of boats in their yard.

how much more I have to learn about fishing.

Working for vehicle theft I am extremely ashamed if it is the case that my work buddies would help themselves to another man`s hard earned property.
Hopefully not true. Let`s hope James can tell us the whole story on the sight.
Take care Capies and please look after your ships.
Wilbul. :blue-redface:
