How about liability if they get caught and the law decides to
impound you boat and come after you for knowingly (?) let them
use the boat.

I went to my boat today to tie up for any surge from Katrina
and found
for the second time that kids have been aboard smoking pot.
They do
not steal anything or do any damage but they do leave butts
and ashes.
This time one left a T-shirt which could be used to ID them
if I was
really interested. The first time I think they got aboard
by me
leaving the combo lock unlocked (you have to spin the
tumblers and I
forget). This time I think they actually removed the hasp
but
carefully replaced the screws when they left. Security at
the dock is
minimal and would be difficult to enforce. I do not want to
get them
in trouble for the pot smoking and do not really want to get
them in
trouble for using my boat while doing no damage. However,
they could
get hurt being stoned and stupid so I want them to never
come back. I
left two notes for them telling to leave my boat but I do
not think
they will see them because they do not turn on any lights.
I'll
replace the lock and hasp tomorrow but wonder if anyone else
has any
suggestions for a way to warn them without hurting them.
