15 years in jail?

Sounds a little harsh.

classic situation, and worth the extra time it took. The thief will
get about 15 years in jail, and they were anxious to make an example
of him. It's a really bad thing to mess with the tourists around
here, since we've become the lifeblood of the place as the shrimp
fishery declines.
We learned a lot from this; primarily that it is smart to inquire on
the morning net whether there are any security concerns when arriving
at a new port, and never get so relaxed and casual that you risk
losing something as important as the ship to shore transportation
device!
