Wildfuzz Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Ladies and Gentlemen of the Forum, A large quantity of property has been recovered which may be linked to marine thefts in Norfolk, enquiries are still ongoing to establish the owners of this property but as you may appreciate some of the items are very hard to link to a particular crime, if indeed it has ever been reported to the Police. Therefor can I respectfully ask that if you or you know of someone who has been an unfortunate victim of a theft, whether reported or not please email me with a description of the stolen items in as much detail as possible. Please include any identifying marks or features, be it scratches, stickers or anything which can be used to reunite the owners to the property, please include a crime number if you have been given one. This is a mammoth task, and I will do my best to return all the property that I can, I am currently looking at the items taken in all reported crimes and cross referring this against the property list of recovered items. Your help would be appreciated. Moderators can I respectfully ask this is made a "sticky" to allow as many people as possible the chance to contact me.

Samuel Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Stuart Great news. I assume that a similar notice will be posted in hard copy in marinas and boatyards across Norfolk and Suffolk? I know it's hard to believe but some boat owners do not read this or similar forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Seriously though, If an insurance claim is made, and subsequently payed out, does the recovered property automatically become the property of the insurance company who then have the rite to dispose of it as they see fit and try to recover at least some of their losses?. The reason i ask, is if someone DOES get payed out for claim, and the property is recovered, if it is returned to who it was stolen from, and they sell it on, are they then guilty of defrauding the insurance company?.

BroadScot Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi Neil, I have always been under the impression the insurers don't pay out while the police are investigating such a crime? Glad to be corrected though. Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfuzz Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Not sure about the insurance side of things, I would suggest if a claim has been paid and property is subsequently returned it would be best practice to let them know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfuzz Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 I have a quantity of fuel tanks which have been recovered and as yet few reported crimes of similar items, no matter how small or irrelevant stolen items may see, and maybe regarded as not worth reporting please do let me know. Someone somewhere has lost these to criminals. Stuart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive, Have you got a picture by chance, so I can peruse some of the items we have, failing that a crime number please? Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi Stu, I never reported it as I assumed my kids did not tie it up properly but I think was taken as I saw the boat in a salvage yard and was told that it had been found in Wroxham without an engine.. no photo either but it did have a bit of wire attached to the throttle which was odd!

Wildfuzz Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Sorry nothing matching what you have described in our store at this time. On a better note have just identified and returned a VHF radio that was recovered, hopefully another satisfied customer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Good news on reuniting bits Stuart What happens to the bits which you can't find the owners of? Do you have an auction or similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfuzz Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 The property when up for disposal I believe goes to an independent auctioneers. I will find out the details and let you know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
