I reported back in August when my uncle had about 2/3 of his gas stolen

slip in our large public marina.


There's at least 150 boats on trailers at a marina near me...I wonder if
anyone watches the place after hours.

Dunno, since there aren't that many boats kept out of the water near my
marina. Those that are (one boatel, a few acres of yards) are mostly
fenced off with 9' chain link.

The docks themselves (except for the public guest docks) are accessible
from land by key only, but it's only too easy to grab the door as
someone is leaving. Of course, access from the water is WIDE open (which
is probably what happened to my uncle). "Security" does patrol, but for
the most part I get the impression that they're looking for people
parking in the lot without a permit.

My Blue-Boat stays safely at home in a locked garage. However, on the
rare occasion when I leave her at the open guest dock unattended
overnight (for a quicker early-morning departure), everything that isn't
bolted down comes with me.

The gear box, electronics, and two 6.6 gallon tanks are just too easy to
walk off with in the middle of the night. I get it all in one cart load,
and even in broad daylight in front of tens of witnesses I've never been
questioned about stripping the boat nearly bare. Kinda scary, actually.

Ah, the proverbial back-pedal.

Tell us Krause, which marina has "150 boats on trailers" in late August?

I go to Whiskey Island marina on Lake Erie, and it is a HUGE marina, and I
only recall about 12-15 boats trailered there, and I think most of those
were in for service.

Could this be another one of your "stories"? After all, you *are* a proven
liar...

PS: I'm ready for more of your dimwitted replies, complete with immature
name-calling and lies.

Typo is slang for a typographical error, Wetsock.

I know what it is Rusty, but you didn't type wrong...you typed the word
correctly...you just used the wrong word.



So what you had was a grammatical error...not a typo.



As I correctly
pointed out, in usenet, those who have shot their wad can only respond
by pointing out such errors.



You didn't "correctly" point out anything...other than your inability to
grasp simple English.



Take care Rusty, and good luck.

IRONY ALERT! IRONY ALERT! IRONY ALERT!



[yawn] Yet again, an English lesson is due...



"Liar" is a descriptive term. One who lies, is a liar. And ample proof has
been shown that Krause does in fact lie.



If that's too deep for you, try this analogy...a person who runs, is called
a "runner". Get it now, my language challenged friend?

Yes, it is.

If I had typed the
word "zebra" in the same location it would have also been a typo.

No, it wouldn't have.

Here, try to parse it again, ****tard:

Heh heh...I believe foul and immature name calling is *above* being a
spell-cop when your "wad is shot" Rusty.

Its obvious this conversation have surpassed your ability of understanding,
and has clearly shown the lack of grasp you have.

My work is done here...take care Rusty, and good luck in life.
