Country Name: Panama
Location Detail: Linton Bay
EVENT: Theft
HAND: 1
Stolen Items: 11FT dinghy / 15HP Yamaha engine
SECURED: Not Locked
DETAILS:
The crew and their dog were in the lighted cockpit when their unlocked in-the-water 11FT dinghy with 15HP Yamaha outboard was stolen. A swimmer cut multiple lines that secured the dinghy in its lifting harness. A report was made to the police and coast guard. A search the next morning located the dinghy, minus the outboard engine.
CSSN UPDATE: August 22, 2019 – Owners have informed CSSN that the police were not at all helpful in recovering the outboard, so they offered a reward for its return via the local community. The outboard is now back in their possession.
