Hi Frank: Your insurance company may require you to install an alarm.
Many
of the boats in my Marina put alarms on their boats after thieves did
their
dirty work on them. The 38 Chris., in the next slip to mine, has both a
motion detector and a pressure switch under the carpet. It works!! One
boater put a silent alarm on his boat and the thieves were caught red
handed.
They were local kids looking for booze.

Did the captain call the cops, or did he do the right thing?
