Hi Folks.

I live in California. Some idiot left a trashed boat on a trashed
trailer in the street in front of my house today. This boat is in such
bad shape, it was obviously a piece of garbage on someone's property,
and instead of doing the responsible thing and dumping it legally, they
dragged it to my house and left it here. The trailer is so rotten
(including the tires, which are shredded and disintegrating) it's a
wonder they even got it this far. I live in a rural area.

Anyway, the only identifying marks on it are some numbers on the sides
of the boat with what looks like a registration sticker next to them
that says "California 86". Is there a way to find out from these
numbers who owns this boat? Hopefully the police will have it hauled
out of here, but I'm really sick of people dumping their trash on and
around my property and this is the worst yet. I'd like to find out who
did it. I suspect it's one of my neighbors... real neighborly thing to
do, eh?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Go to Google Earth and check out your neighbor's yards for the boat. If
it's been in one of their yards for several years, there's a chance it'll
show on Google Earth. My pickup shows up in front of my house.

Good luck!

I can only see my pool and part of my house, the trees cover the rest.
Wish they'd have taken the photos in the winter!
