Country Name: Guatemala
Location Detail: Rio Dulce Nana Juana
EVENT: Theft
HAND: 1
Stolen Items: Dinghy, 15 HP outboard
SECURED: Locked
DETAILS:
A yacht anchored in front of the marina had its in-the-water but locked dinghy stolen overnight. The owners discovered that the painter and locking cable had both been cut. The dinghy (minus the outboard) was recovered in the mangroves, but the tubes had been slashed, and the fuel tank, fuel line, manual pump and oars had also been taken. A report was made to the marina and on the VHF net.
