Man that sucks. 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.

[doubleheader]

Have you checked your homeowners insurance? It may cover. Really sorry for you loss. Hope the jerk(s) get caught.

[johnnyb]

That is garbage...sorry to hear it.

[Reef Runner]

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.

Motors under 25hp are usually covered by home policy.

[pokerdemon4]

That blows. Sorry to hear about your loss. Don't trust anyone. Lesson learned.

[Bassman27]

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!!

[BFSC Kevin]

sorry to hear that.

but when i used to have a 20hp, i used one of these locks and never had problems. what did you use? a pad lock through the holes?

^^ thats what I have on my 30.

[Spiel]

....Brutal, always said there's nothing lower than stealing another man's property.

[Musky or Specks]

Im sure its hard earned property as well. Not that stealing from the rich should be condoned either.

[limeyangler]

My blood boils to hear that...low down,

Sorry for your loss.

Talk to an insurance agent...I'm pretty sure you can have content insurance etc for living in apartments.

 

Sorry about the loss

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.

[duber]

Sorry to hear that.

 

I will keep my ears open for a cheap 9.9 Merc. in the area.

[lunkerbasshunter]

that sucks big time.

[oxcowboy]

sorry to hear this, it just blows my mind what some people will do. i would love to see them cained on national tv. now that would be a reality show i could really get into.

[Mattones]

Thats horrible mate. Hope these buggers get caught.

[Tinman]

I know you can get tennants insurance,, and if you do it through the company your car is, its only a few bucks a month extra, good luck

[Sinker]

There is nothing worse than a thief!!!!

 

That sucks man......I feel for ya!!

[holdfast]

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

[bucktail]

Sorry dude.

Same thing happened to me . Not cool

[Victor]

Sorry to hear man. I hope that you'll find the jerks one day ... if not, karma will.

[Meegs]

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!
