Robbed
Sometime lastnight, probably during heavy rain, Alien was robbed. The loss was
pretty bad. Even my flashlight was taken. We've already filed a claim and we'll do just fine, but it was the last thing we needed with a baby days or hours away. Standby to see Scotty go balistic when he sees my new electronics. I've seen this sort of theft before and I never can understand it. I'll give a full report on how my insurance co. handled this afterwards, but so far they are treating us above and beyond what I expected. New electronics or not...what a drag. RB |

Nutsy,
Sorry to hear about the robbery. A few years back, my boat was ransacked while it was on the hard. In a Yard, with supposedly security. When I was called down to give a report on what was taken, I was shocked at the condition of the boat. What a mess!!! As I started to make a list of what was taken, with the police there. I straighten the boat out and found nothing missing!!! The police said they were looking for guns.which I don't carry. It took a long time to get over the violation. There were other boats that were stripped of electronic gear, stoves, compasses, depth sounders and what have you. There was damage to hatchways for entry and damage for no reason. I never locked my boat while it is on the Hard and I think that might have been why I was spared. What a time to have that happen to you. Labor Day Week-end. Hope everything gets taken care of. Just about ends "Derelict's" season doesn't it. Sorry Pal, wish You were closer so you could use my boat. One good thing, you have a new joy coming into your life. He'll be a Virgo, like myself. I pray everyday that he'll have as good a life or better than mine. Ole Thom P/S Give Susy a kiss for me and may the "Luck of the Irish" shine down on you RIGHT NOW!! |
Insurance Co.?
Deductable? You have a pretty decent security fence and gate. How did they get in? By water? A few years ago, we had a cabin cruiser pull into our transient dock. The "crew" began removing equipment. They stripped the boat in broad daylight, in full view of the marina and no one raised an alarm. NYC Balls.

Virgo, like myself. I pray everyday that he'll have as good a life or better than mine. Thanks, Thom. I feel really enraged. I'm always amazed at this sort of thing. No damage to the boat. Suzanne was the first to notice that our dinghy was gone. Then a look inside...no radar, stereo, radio, compass and lots of other stuff gone. I just returned from the yard with a list. I recently took the autopilot off and put it below and it too is gone. I'm not sure how the insurance company will handle older items, such as the radar, but my agent says not to worry. He says I'll come out ahead with newer stuff, but ****!!! My son is almost here and I don't need this **** now. One nice bit...a guy a few boats over came over with a spare VHF and the yard says they'll loan me whatever I need to complete the season. I expect to keep sailing. At least they didn't take the grill. RB |
Insurance Co.?
Deductable? You have a pretty decent security fence and gate. How did they get in? By water? I'm very well covered and it looks to be just a ton of aggravation. I expect this happened last night during all that rain. There was water on the floor and on the table, dripped off the losers, I'd guess. I was there early, so who knows how much I missed them by. RB |
Nutsy,
Was the outboard on the dingy?? Were other boats hit? OT |
Was the outboard on the dingy??
Were other boats hit? The oatboard was on the boat, The dinghy was tied aft as I was going to clean the bottom today. Guess I won't have to. RB |
Ah...NYS...just makes you want to pack up and move there immediately....

We are replacing some gear on our boat and have put the old items on e bay. If only your list was more accurate that would be a lot more laughs. I'll be watching ebay. Some of items are strategically marked with ID #s. SHUT UP you big jerk. You want to blow our insurance scam? Suzy |

What if you did catch them red handed?
What if they had weapons? If I got them in the act I would have disabled them. If they had guns I'd be in trouble since I don't carry. RB |

No professional thief would bother taking the out of date junk that you have lost. Out of date? Do you mean the new VHF, GPS and Fujinon binocs? I bet I had more modern stuff aboard than you by a mile! Or perhaps my dinghy and outboard were also out of date? No, you can't be that stupid, so you must mean the out of date Icom Handheld that has been charged twice in it's life. Sure, I'll do well when they replace the radar and autopilot, but most stuff taken was recent. And my old radar worked great and plenty of people told me the AH 3000 Autopilot was worth hanging on to. Nice to know you can find new ways to make an idiot out of yourself, Donal. RB |

Everybody else can see that I took advantage of the fact that your missing property was ancient crap - with little resale value. Let's face it. Nobody believes that your old boat was burgled. Why would a thief break into an old, but much loved, POS when there are nice new expensive boats parked nearby? A burglar wouldn't expect to find anything of value on Alien - So why would he bother to break in? Regards Donal -- |
So who goes to benton Harbor????

A burglar wouldn't expect to find anything of value on Alien - So why would he bother to break in? Donal, without a doubt, there was more expensive and recent gear aboard Alien than on your boat. As it we found out today, we were not the only boat robbed. I'm sorry you want to make a troll out of something like this. That's more Scotty Potti's speed, but suit yourself. RB |
After all these years you should realise that you cannot "own" a thread on
Usenet. I see why you need to believe that, but you are in my thread all the same. Start your own and you can claim a catch. Until then you belong to me at my hooks, poor boy! RB |
Let's face it. Nobody believes that your old boat was burgled.
Well then that makes you another day's catch! You can't escape your own little logic cube! RB |
Ah! The cube. Great film.

"gonefishiing" wrote in message don't know the facts of it perhaps you can relay them? Nothing major, really. The NY Times or some other publication annually rates American cities in terms of murders per capita, and Benton Harbor, MI, led the way about five years ago. Disadvantaged area, empty storefronts, loss of industry, and poverty. All the ingredients for disaster. oh boy there goes the hood.........and my theory...............just came back from my boat (city island........same as bobsprit) with a girlfriend while on board i heard gunfire for a period of time. didn't think anything of it because there is a police shooting range on rodmans neck, as well as the bomb squad think someone got murdered cops everywhere restuarant roped off detectives ambulance the works. maybe bobsprit got his gear back? bob??? what happened???
