Stolen Outboard

Smoggy · January 17, 2018

If anyone is offered a tohatsu 2 stroke 4hp outboard please check numbers as I have had one nicked from my shed, model is M4C-3F9 serial number is 78016, it is silver/grey and has integral tank and a bolt in place of the trim pin.
It was nabbed probably over the Christmas period as there was a spate of shed/garage break in around here but I have only just noticed it missing, also with a stihl MS181 chainsaw but I can't find where I wrote the serial number for that.

Good luck, I hope the lowlife scum who have taken it get their comeuppance .

Might help if you give the area from which it was taken?

Chin up, don't let the you know what grind you down.

Sounds like it's from the OP's home?

However some thefts reported from Upton

Has it been reported?

Yes there has been a small crime spike, wait till spring when people return to their boats, that's when many unfortunate victims find they have been targeted,

Getting reported today as only noticed it gone last night, nicked from st.neots in cambs. from my shed.

There was a spate of it over Christmas/new year round this way but I didn't spot anything amiss as there was no damage to anything and other power tools were still lying around, they must have carried it over a 6' high gate as it was locked and no sign of forcing.
