Just wanted to share this because I find it little amusing and I will explain why. Last night two boats wer stolen from Bradley Creek marina. The boat's owners said thathe htough the thiefs knew what they were doing because these boats were docked in tight quarters. The were not little boats either, the were big sportfishing boats, as a matter of fact I beleive one of them was 38 ft Bertram. The boats were recovered this morning because the idiots who stole them ran them a ground at the entrance of Bradley Creek where it meet the Intercoastal Waterway causing extensive damage. The reason I find this amusing is because the clowns were able to sneek on the docks, unhook the lines , get the boat out of the slip and down the creek which is full of oyster bars and then when they were in the clear they ran on a oyster bar. How stupid can you get. Plus where they were at was a good swim back to shore. Anyway sorry for such a long post I just wanted to share this. By the way if they catch the clowns they ought make shark chum out of them, I can't stand a theif

Wow, what guts or stuipidity?

You don't mess with our boats or vehicles to tow the boats.

I would not mind someone stealing my car but if they touch my boat I would have no qualms about shooting them.

Just be sure to use that old Viet Nam trick and put a knief in their hands.

My boat has nothing in it at this time and the compartments are unlocked.  The trailer has a trailer lock, too.

I worry about someone taking the stainless steel prop but you just got to take your chances.

I here ya, I just checked the local Saltwater forum and the Captain said that nothing was taken off the boat, not even the beer in fridge. However when they ran it aground they left the engine running for around 30 minutes. Port side engine was blown and they Starboard engine had some damage. I agree with trick on delaing with a boat theif.
