corky Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 At about 9.00 pm this evening I recieved a call from Solent Coastguard informing me that my dsc radio was transmiting an emergency signal and was everything ok ? At first I was a little confused as the boat is happily tucked away in the RNLI compound, I then realised the only way it could be transmiting was if someone was trying to steal the boat or equipment. I was down to the compound in under 20 minutes but not quite fast enough............. The following have been stolen and should anyone be offered any of the following in a suspicious way please contact me. M-TECH MT500 DSC VHF RADIO GARMIN 276C PLOTTER WITH E.CHANNEL MAP GARMIN FF140 FISH FINDER 4 CREWSAVER AUTO LIFEJACKETS 3 RODS AND REELS (1 ABU, 1 PENN, 1 MITCHEL REEL ALL WITH GREEN BRAID) What a silly sod I feel for leaving these on the boat and thinking it would be safe inside the compound. Looks like most of it wont be covered by the insurance I have. Lesson learnt the hard way. Quote

Jim Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 I understand the Arab countries have a good deterrent. Cut their fingers off ! - - - - And the people who buy it. If they could'nt sell it, there would be no need to Steal It ! Quote
Paul D Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Chris, Sorry to hear about this. Will have to keep an eye out around the boat jumbles / car boot sales. Do you know any serial numbers at all ? Quote
