What about the poor old chap last month that had his outboard sawn out of his transom to get the outboard. The boat of course sunk. The chap had the boat for 30 years or more, it is doubtful that he will get on the water again without a lot of help.

If it was down to me hands would be the second thing they would cut off! and I am not joking.

It's sad' but if truth were known even if caught they would get a small fine and community service.

The expression "crime doesn't pay" actually refers to the victim not the criminal, these thieves are laughing all the way to the "Bank"
