Friend of mine had his engine stolen from the marina in cambridgeshire, and went to Id it today and the rest of his stuff. Eastern Europeans he was told.

Thats not a shock for the peterboro area, not many english speakers around there now.

Of course sometimes the police just get lucky, the following is boatwatch message I just recieved from cambs. plod.

 

Afternoon all

 

Overnight 1^st June theft of outboard engines from Twentypence Marina in Wilburton

 

1 Honda 15 horsepower serial 1007852

1 Yamaha FT9 serial 400569/S

1 Honda R type serial 1002788

 

If anyone in local area saw anything suspicious please get in touch

 

Last night in Bretton Peterborough – officers stopped a vehicle driving as rear number plate hanging off and ended up arresting four males on suspicious of having stolen property in the vehicle – a search of a property they were staying at recovered a lot of stolen property including possibly 10 outboard engines

 

Police are trying to identify the engines – if you have lost one and didn’t report it or lost one and did not know the serial number but there are marks that could help identify the engine please get in touch with me so I can try and help reunite these engines with rightful owners.  My guess is that they would only have been stolen in last 6-8 weeks

 

Thanks all

As for multitasking men Wildfuzz, I can do fat,drunk,bald,and stupid all at once! Beat that!

 

 

As a result of this it has led to the recovery of several items stolen from Norfolk. I think most identifiable property has been matched to crimes and owners, it appears the majority of our major losses can be attributed to a very few individuals from out of the county. Strike one up to the good guys.

I truly applaud you all, Carol & Stuart.....  :clap

 

(And would love to see your multi-tasking, Carol!)

Hello Stuart

Are you able to say how much stuff was recovered, I did email broads beat last week but have not heard back yet. Just wondering if any of my stuff was recovered?

Thanks

John

Also is it correct that 17 outboards were taken from ranworth in one night?

[Wildfuzz]

The property is still being identified as there was a lot of marine and other items recovered. Anyone who believes they may be able to identify any recovered property please email Broadsbeat@norfolk.pnn.police.uk if possible quote a crime number on all correspondance.

 

I believe an "Open event" may be organised for losers of items to come and have a look see. this we take a while due to the logistics involved.

 

John, without double checking I believe six outboards were reported, but I am sure other items were also removed.

Great work and good to learn that items have been recovered. I believe that any items recovered that have been the subject of a insurance payout are now the property of said company?

[John]

For the few hundred pounds I lost it wasn't worth claiming for. Iam sure it will be the same for a lot of people who have been robbed.

I have a itinery of all my items in the boat, from teaspoons to serial numbers for any equipment, added to that I have security marked most items.

Once done in a table in "Word" and printed, it is an easy task to add to the print out, maybe once a season and then update the document.

I also keep a record of when the engine was serviced, what changes I have done, what parts replaced etc and which windows have been resealed and when.

Even which parts of the hull have been waxed etc.

The list also contains a list of local phone numbers, so one document suits all.

Looking back over the document really shows how time flies, a job you thought you did say a season or so ago, could reveal that it was in fact 5-6 years ago, quite shocking really.
