My first guess would be a weekend joyride by one of the people hired to
"detail" your boat, or maybe the forklift operator. Little Miss Putout
was probably very impressed with her date's "new boat", and a little
beer (see scrape) probably lubed the situation rather nicely as the date
progressed.

I sense some projecting here Chuck.

I had similar fantasies while growing up, portions of which were
realized. Fortunately, I didn't have to steal a boat since my folks had
an Owens with plenty of mahogany and teak that required my attention.

Tell me you never did the same?

I have a unique perspective on similar incidents, having been in the
automobile business for a long time. You don't even want to hear the
stories about lot boys (and some salesmen) and conversion vans... but
one bears mentioning. I used to rev-up the sales team with a Hu-Rah!
meeting every Saturday morning, and one week we were advertising a big
sales promotion on conversion vans. Immediately after the meeting, we
went out to the garage to move the conversion vans to the front line,
deck them out with balloons, and make a big schlocky "to-do". I opened
up a freshly detailed conversion van to discover my partner's
20-something son (who had been absent from the meeting) and his
hope-she-was-legal conquest of the night before passed out inside the
van. We can say they weren't "dressed for prime time." I think we had
to reupholster the fold-out couch. :-)

Great story, made me laugh. As a 16 year old I dreamed of owning a
panel wagon or hearse with the sole purpose of it being a mobile
boudoir.

Your partner's son had it easy.
