Early Friday morning some low life thieves slithered around and took
the Minn Kota trolling motor off my Yukon.
They tried to take the 25hp Johnson but couldn't get it off the boat
thanks to the channel bar type lock Tom supplied. I did see where
they tried to remove the motor from it's bracket but failed... simply
scraping off paing where the wrench was applied. They also got a good
sized generator out of my next door neighbours locked shed.
I've asked the border security people to keep a special lookout for a
greasy midget man with a ponytail and bad attitude. He may be
travelling in the company of 'outlaws'.
All decent boaters should take special precautions.

That was a pretty cheap shot Donnie, even for you.
