Default Ever worry about your boat being stolen?

I've done it here. When I was going to restore that '68 Chris
Craft Corsair, I obtained an old Glastron with it because it
had the exact same engine. I pulled the old engine out of the
Glastron, stripped the controls and put the boat out by the
road with a big sign FREE. I left to go to the PO and do my
morning patrol - maybe an hour and when I came back, it
was gone.

Amazing.


Old saying in NY: Free is a very good price...

Want it to go faster? Leave the trailer unlocked and put a for sale sign on
it. Seems like if it's advertised as worth selling the crooks will steal it
even faster than if it's offered for free.
