EVENT: Theft

Stolen Items: Dinghy and outboard, later returned missing the fuel tank and flip flops

SECURED: Locked

DETAILS:

A dinghy (with outboard) that was left in the water and locked with a cable, was stolen overnight while the owners slept.

The cable and line were both cut in a rough way, likely with a hacksaw blade or serrated blade of some kind.

The next morning the owners discovered the theft and talked with a fisherman ashore who advised them to make a police report and not to buy a new one, he would try and help locate the missing dinghy. A report was made to the police and on the VHF net.

A few hours later some other fishermen arrived towing the “found” dinghy, now minus the fuel tank and flip flops. They asked for and received a $1000 EC reward.
