My condolences for the loss. My 30hp stays outside but my 15 and my siw both sit on stands in the garage because I thought they would be to easy to steal. I grew up in a fairly seedy area and dont trust anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reef Runner Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I second that I hope those jerks get caught, sent to prison amd endure at least 5 years of the Pe-anal system. sotos. I take my 9.9 off and into the garage every weekend. It would be nice not to hassle, but there are some real slimeballz still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman27 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I wish I had some Roy, but unfortunately due to past medical issues and bad times my family and I lost our house and now live in a small apt. building and don't have insurance on home belongings.I don't believe or have alot of faith in the police being able to do anything as I know they're busy with alot of things on the go but figured I'd put in a report anyway.Hopin against hope!!

Musky or Specks Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Im sure its hard earned property as well. Not that stealing from the rich should be condoned either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clampet Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 A few years ago an outfitter out of Belleville, ON (Bay of Quinte) got ripped off for 9 or ten (I cannot re-call) brand new 9.9 HP Johnson motors that were on the back of the 14' rental boats. He replaced some of them and apparently it happened a second time. He had the motors secured by some type of locking device that was somehow compromised by the savvy thieves. He never got them back.

holdfast Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Its too bad we never seem to catch them in action, I have daydreamed many times how I would traumatize the culprit. Last year someone broke into my garage and broke the window of my car but stole nothing. Didn't make sense as the door was unlocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meegs Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 That is NOT a good way to start the fishing season! Sorry to hear that! im not sure if this helps or not for future refference but i know when I used to rent an apartment i looked into house contents insurrance... it turned out that i got 10% off my auto insurance if i got the home insurance. the home insurance was pretty cheap already but with the 10% off i think my monthly payments where only within $5 of what i was paying before. worth looking into anyways! hope you find your motor!
