Newboy Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Can't they trace it with the serial no or something? Quote
Jim Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 They grind the serial numbers off ! ! We all know that means it's stolen but you have to prove it in a court of law ! Ah it's good to know that I pay taxes to pay for legal aid for such deserving darlings ! ! gjb 1 Quote
Brian Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 They grind the serial numbers off ! ! That's why my engines, electronics etc. are all SelectaDNA marked. Did pop down and check my boat as soon as I read this. I've shared it on Facebook as well. Quote
Jim Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 Mine is and was DNA marked and had stickers on it but they still tried to nick it. I've stamped my postcode all over it as well now. Re-sale value's gone down but I don't give a s**t ! Brian 1 Quote
