The question is more why didn't all the boaters in City Marina notice
the boat being stolen. A good reason to have more live-aboards who
would be noticing such things.

That's not too tough to figure, since most boats are ridiculously easy
to break into. Wouldn't be surprised if the owners weren't known by the
rest of the dock, and it could have been done late at night.

My questions a why take it in the first place, and why take it to the
Bahamas? You're not going to be able to use a brand new 57' anything
very long. They get noticed. Can't clear in or out without papers; can't
do much more than they did and they'll likely have some explaining to do
to get out of the Bahamas.

Joy ride? Drugs? Smuggling?
