I'm selling my boat, and several of my other toys (motorcycles, RV,
and so
on). I want a bigger boat to sail in more comfort in the waters
between Bob
and Scotty.


Really? That's too bad, about selling your toys. Back in the '70s I
sold some guns and some bikes, including a 1948 Harley, to buy my
first truck. Man I wish I still had them.


But that's beside the point. Naturally I let people board her
and look around, inspect the sails, flush the toilet, check out the
gadgets,
yadda yadda. So some idiot forces open my forward hatch without
releasing
one of the locks and rips the hardware off the hatch. Then he runs
off
without owning up. Since it's molded plastic, I'll have to replace
the
hatch.
Well what do ya know, his wallet fell out and I found it in one of
the
berths. It's got close to $50 cash in it. Is it dishonest to take
the cash
to fix my hatch (and then mail him his wallet)?

Are you 100% sure he did it? I would confront him. Demand he pay.
After he paid I'd return the wallet.

I may hold onto the 1100cc, but the 600cc is going. It's all preparations
for moving in a few/several months. My wife hasn't ridden her bike since her
car accident 2 years ago. I can't see keeping it if she doesn't ride. After
we move, I plan to upgrade all to the best of my financial ability.

Right, wouldn't want the riff-raff here to know where you live.
