There's a lot of ramps around but I'll be keeping my eyes open.

The boat has been in my side yard for over 5 years without incident
until now. Coincidently(?) Verizon had crews installing fiber optic
cable in the neighborhood the last few weeks and they had just moved on.
About a week ago my wife caught one of them coming around the side yard
(next to the boat) while she was in the back and he quickly asked her
for a glass of water. (I suspect they have their own water) Their trucks
had Washington plates and a neighbor across the street noticed a white
pick-up with Washington plates in front of my house the day the motor
disappeared. All circumstantial I know.

By the way, the Master padlock was worthless, they clipped it right off.


Verizon was very active around here with cable work and there were
some items stolen - no breakins, just stuff out of garages, etc.

Verizon was very pro active in attempting to retrieve the items and
cooperated with the State Police which busted a theft ring centered
around Verizon out-of-state construction crews. Of course you have to
have a police department willing to pursue the issue.

Complain to the cops first, then Verizon.

Later,

Tom
