Sounds like they're goners anyway.
Looks like you were just in time. Good move.
Better see if they actually winterized your boat.

--Vic
I'm not taking any chances. I took it to another Yamaha guy a little
further down the road, Stafford Marine. Told them what happened. Told
them to winterize it, even if it had already been done.

I hadn't given the Dumfries folks any money, so I'm not out anything.
It just takes an extra half-hour of driving to get to this place. But,
that's OK.

Read that manual and winterize it yourself.......
oh wait...you don't read manuals.


He has a big boy outboard that they don't sell at Toys R Us.

Rob
And a *new* big boy outboard. Once the warranty has expired, *then*
I'll start doing this stuff myself.

Up until then I figure I'll help out the local marina economy. When
you've got all the money I have (~snerk~), a hundred bucks once a year
isn't going to hurt anything!
When it comes time to DIY be sure to consult with Donnie and the Plum.
Donny has a little rope pull kicker and the plum once owned half interest
in a 14 ft hobie.

Glad you got your boat back without undue problems.


You're half right...which is better than usual.
I do own a 1954/55 British Seagull 40 Plus that requires a starter rope to
be wound around the flywheel.
On my Princecraft Yukon I'm all electric start...... both the 25hp Johnson
and the Minn Kota.


Pansy. That's it. You're off my team. Who ever heard of a real man with
an electric start 25 HP outboard motor. What color is it? Pink I
suppose, to match your Toyota beer hauler. And learn to drink
responsibly. One six pack of Corona should last you all year like it
does for me.

If you are flajim, herring, loogy, GC boater, johnson, topbassdog, rob,
achmed the sock
puppet, or one of a half dozen others, you're wasting your time by trying to
*communicate* with me through rec.boats, because, well, you are among
the permanent
members of my dumbfoch dumpster, and I don't read the vomit you post,
except by accident
on occasion. As always, have a nice, simple-minded day.

Okay, so here's what happened.

The DA's
have enough cases, they do not want to screw around with this crap. And
also if in Calif, they have to release people from jail to reduce numbers
and cost. You think the DA is going to spend any time or money on a case
like this?

I would say that 99% of what happens is going to happen within the first 15
minutes IF a cop came, and what the attitude was, and if the person had
their paperwork showing a right to claim the boat. Even the cops have
better things to do, and they probably wouldn't be there five minutes before
being dispatched on something more important.

You would think wrong then. Well, I'll qualify that and say the

would
for sure make an arrest if there were witnesses. The DA might drop
the
charges, but I wouldn't want to bet on it.
Let point to why I think you are wrong:

"In criminal law, theft is the illegal taking of another person's
property without that person's freely-given consent."

Note: NOT " another person's property." Therefore, Not Theft!
The boat wasn't on the street, it was in a locked, private, area.

Rob
No it wasn't. The area it was in was not fenced or locked. It was
behind the back row of a strip mall. That was one of my worries, that
the boat could be pilfered.

I wouldn't have had to break into anything to get it.

John H
Well this is a different scenario that we were led to believe.
In this case I would have gone in and recovered my property
too...assuming
it was on 'common tenant ground' behind a mall.
I'd claim they abandoned it.



So...there's no chance herring might be arrested? Too bad.


Can you imagine him locked up behind bars? All his crying & whinning would
drive the cops foolish.
Maybe they could put him to work in the galley...baking muffins for the
other prisoners.



Can you imagine what would happen if we left rec.boats? No one would
ever talk about boats. I like the way you included the word galley in
your post, but the idiots in rec.boats don't even know what a galley is.

Please. Leave and try it. Take your suck buddy Don with you, you fat
piece of ****.

hehe. Been a long-winded argument - about nothing.
Anyway, I come down on the "take the boat home side."
That de plume DA/judge/defendent dialog is dark fiction.
How it really works is all these guys start talking about boats and
all the fishing Colonel John Herring (Retired) was missing because
this place had kidnapped his new boat. Case dismissed.
All speculation of course, but you do what you gotta do.
One time I came home from work on a Friday, having got a nice raise.
Wanted to get home and give the wife the good news.
The guy in front of me was a classic slowpoke, and I finally got a
little ****ed, seeing he was going to make me miss another light.
Dropped my F-150 into first, opened that 352 up, and popped the
clutch. Fishtailed around him, tires squealing, moved into second,
and was doing 50 in a 25 by the time I hit the light on Central Park.
It turned red just as I got there, but I was through it before anybody
could move.
Let off the gas and heard that beautiful exhaust purr/growl the 352 is
famous for. Famous to me anyway. First V-8 I rebuilt myself.
As I pulled into the 7/11 a couple blocks past the light to pick up a
gallon of milk I see a police cruiser in my mirror - barreling though
the now green light.
I was parked and walking toward the store door as the cruiser squealed
into the parking lot, and the 2 cops jumped out of the car.
I know they got me for reckless driving, speeding 50 in a 25, and
running a red.
But since hope springs eternal I just pretended nothing had happened
until the young one yelled at me with a "Hey! Where you going?!"
So I stopped and walked over to them with a smile.
"Hey guys. Getting some milk for the kids. What's going on?."
The young guy was really ****ed, like he waned to cuff me, but the
older one, maybe 50 or so, was relaxed. He was in charge.
"You in a hurry?"
"Sort of. Just got a raise and I wanted to get home and tell the
wife. Sorry about that. Been following that guy for 3 missed lights
and he never got over 20. My fault."
The cop says, "Good raise?"
"Yeah, they took me on as an intern, and hired me today. 50 percent."
I was smiling ear to ear just thinking about it.
Cop says "Wow. Nice. I'm retiring myself - in 2 months."
I say "No kidding. You're a young guy. Whatcha gonna do?"
Cop says, "I bought a little dairy farm up in Wisconsin, near
Ladysmith."
That's way up there. North of Minneapolis.
"No ****!," says I. "It's beautiful there. I take the family to
Grindstone every year for our vacation. Man, it's good fishing."
So we start talking Grindstone, Hayward and Wisconsin fishing.
I think this guy bought a dairy farm just to get close to the fishing.
Probably how he sold the move to Wisconsin to his wife.
In the meantime, the young cop, who had his ticket book out, had
started fidgeting, then shaking his head, then stormed back to the
cruiser, slamming the door. Not a fisherman.
Me and Al - we got on a first name basis - continued to talk fishing
for a while, then he cut let me loose with a warning, and we all went
about our business.
Told me to be careful, and I said I would be. And I was - for a
while. Al was a nice guy. Met some good Chicago cops in my reckless
driving days. Always wondered how that dairy farm worked out for him.
Anyway, a smile and an apology often beats the rap. If you can talk
fishing, it's almost a lock. And give the Irishmen some blarney.
You a good smiler, John?

--Vic

As long as the cop isn't hispanic or black...

Okay, so here's what happened.

Explained above, although the little guy has no business commenting on
it.

He should be spending his time in a worthwhile engagement, like this:

Maybe he could get the Plum to join him.

The clue is in this phrase:

"This test will help me better understand how to **** off you...."

Reminds me of the idiot test, which is a lot shorter and more to the point.
I challenge you to try it:

The first sign is looking for hair on your knuckles.

Only so far as it is "free and clear." A less than honest mechanic can
create a very convincing labor lien based on services not performed.

If he is *really* clever he knows how to perfect a labor lien... if
not, he'll threaten and cajole. Your MilkToast position would make you
ripe for picking......... man up, dude......

again..... this isn't opinion.... I have battle scars....

I'm glad you two had this discussion. It lets me know my initial
inclination was correct - to cut the damn lock and take the boat home.

You know, I'm wondering now if the guy felt threatened by the bolt
cutter I was carrying. That damn thing had three foot handles.

I agree. It was an interesting discussion. Given that the boat was in an
open area, you would have a much better chance of not having a problem with
the police. I'd be cautious though about brandishing something that could be
construed as a weapon. Not sure what state you're in, but some states define
assault as "an attempt to menace by placing another person in fear of
imminent serious bodily injury."
