Some of them anyway. Stealing big boats is a scourge around here and I
doubt these guys are the only ones doing it. It is good to get them in
jail though.


It's very good news but I'm reasonably sure there are more. *We've had
some incidents around here recently and I've taken some increased
precautionary measures. * *

There's a problem with boat insurance that many people are unaware of.
Many policies specifically exclude "mysterious disappearance" from
coverage. * That means that you have to be able to demonstrate in some
way that the boat was taken by thieves - video evidence, broken
locks/cables, etc.


"Mysterious Disappearance?" Man, That's a blanket way to get out of
paying...
