If you know somewhere to put it take it away, locate the owner and claim

If you can get aboard and find the federal documentation number, it's
very easy to look up the owner in the USCG documentation database.


A boat which is in harbor, safely tied in its slip, removed from that slip
onto the hard, and then "salvaged" by a third or fourth party? I dunno, but
if I were the absentee owner and I had not been properly and legally
notified of losing my slip and some yahoo tried to claim "salvage rights" on
my boat, I would be more than a teensy bit peeved.
