STOLEN C-DORY ON 7/27/18

[flatfishfool]

Hoping these will become the "before" pictures and I will be able to post the "after" pictures when she is all shined up again.

Some of the stuff they took off is just silly. Old rod holder mounts, one seat, the back door, 15 year old bilge pumps, a couple cleats. I found the anchor and line laying in the shrubbery plus my scrub brush and two five gallon portable jugs.

It honestly could have been worse. They didn't apparently damage the hull. I was really worried they would have cut the motors off in a bad way etc, but they unbolted them. And the trailer was still intact so I could tow it out of there. But we'll see what the insurance company says about the missing engines, that's a big bill.

Who is talking about prison? OK--that is a bit in jest--but some countries have for more draconian practices for thievery. They have very few thieves. There are people who do better in prison and I have met a few along the way in life. On the other hand, our prisons are like Hilton's in comparison to many other counties gulags.

They sure did strip everything off--even the seats! Glad they didn't chop up the boat!

Good luck with the insurance. Let us know what the insurance company does for you. They should make you whole, and get a good engine back on the boat, as well as replace all which is taken.

most everyone thieving here is a tweeker.

Meth is currently going thru a popular resurgence. I've asked multiple junkies why. Some stated they were tired of being "down" (it's called the heroin nod) from the heroin...so what better doper "solution" than to ingest some meth. :roll:

In the PNW all this got much worse once marijuana was legalized. People now flock here from all over the U.S. They come for the weed and the knowledge that they are immune from prosecution. They stay for all that the leftists offer: "free" everything, lots of available Mexican heroin, the freedom to "urban camp" wherever they want...heck, they even use the sidewalks as their heads.

Then of course, property crimes go thru the roof. They will steal anything/everything. Seattle is currently experiencing a huge increase in property crimes. It's so bad, most victims don't even bother to call 911, so the numbers are actually larger than officially reported. And what better way to combat all this than to decriminalize drug use, larceny etc. :roll:

Sure glad the boat was found and sound. Parts are replaceable, and as mentioned, a good opportunity for upgrades now. Sorry about the incurred expenses, and hope the insurance is helpful. And, it was recovered quickly.

A good reminder to all to be carefull about storage, and insurance.

Agree with Bob and Mark and many others. Our law, justice and prison systems ARE NOT DETERRENTS to be avoided. Our LE work with their hands tied, and the criminals get VIP treatment. Another lesson, care for your own safety.

That sucks. It is a gut shot, even if all is covered and replaced.
From my limited knowledge it looks like way too much work for the "average" tweaker.

 

[smckean (Tosca)]

Property crimes are looked upon as no big deal by prosecutors. Period. They don't give a rat's ass about victims or how hard good, honest people work for the "stuff" that gets stolen.

Just guessin'......but I imagine that if I asked a prosecutor: "What's going on?". He or she would have a different explanation.

 

[thataway]

I suspect that most of the US is like Pensacola--the prosecutors are overwhelmed, the state's attorney's are overwhelmed, the Public Defenders are overwhelmed--spend a few minutes with each case...the courts are overwhelmed, and the jails are overwhelmed--and some are literally like zoos. Solution? Certainly not more drugs!

I've learned there are probably many (people) who have less
than I do and they are probably happier than me.

Aye.
Grandpa used to say, "Whatever happens, don't play 'the victim' ".
Grandma used to say, "Unless you're dead, you still have something
to be thankful for; while you're alive, it can always be worse."

Sure. Of course. They would provide you some "liberalese" explanation...use lots and lots of words that don't mean anything. Like inclusiveness and consensus and caring and how the police are just jack-booted racist thugs who don't "care about people of color"...blah, blah, blah. I call it professional victimization. I hear it all the time. Just listen to Obama talk. Lots and lots of words that don't mean anything substantial. But when your constituents are all sheep... Luckily, the good people of Seattle have appeared to reach their breaking point. The masses are upset and the few "activists" are on the defense. The coming election will be telling. I'm hoping for a complete sweep of 7 of the 9 council members. But time will tell...

By the way, they all do it, Demo-socialists, I mean. They are experts. It must be a required class for membership.

 

[digger]

Hate to see a political smear of people who get put in the same bucket by someone making gross generalizations. Not all dems are freeloaders and rulebreakers...Thanks...but I guess I do not know it all!

.............and on and on and on. Once again we hear from Fox News and the Gestapo wing of “LE”. You fricken wear me out and I find your rants distasteful and rude. It has no place in the C-Brat community. Not the right place. It doesn’t add anything to my life and enjoyment of my boat and the people around it. It is deplorable that flatfishfools boat was stolen. That sucks and we all know that the insurance will not cover all the loss to say nothing of the feeling of violation and personal time and energy spent dealing with something that should never have happened. However, going off on a right wing rant and blaming “Obama and his liberal cohorts” for everything wrong with America is just horse shit flowing out of your mouth.
Now that I’m done insulting you why don’t we get back to discussions dealing with our boats and community.

 

[journey on]

I've been a Democrat and democrat since I could vote. I keep that view out of here, and Localboy, your political views do not belong in the C-Brats. Besides, they sound silly.

I'm really sorry that flatfishfool,s boat was stolen and stripped. Hopefully, between the police and insurance something will be done. But that's crime, not political.

I have to agree with Digger and some others here. The right wing nut jobs are no better than the left wing nut jobs. Some of us sit in the middle and try to treat all fairly. That being said, I also agree with Bob. Too many in too small of a system. I suspect drugs and mental illness is the crux of much of our problem. But at some point you also have to pay the piper! (You do the crime, you do the time!) I've never done drugs, and not big on alcohol, but I see booze just as bad as a toke of weed. If one is legalized, I have a hard time standing against legalization of another. We hand out mind altering drugs like candy to treat mental illness, and then question those addicted to heroin. I don't have answers, only questions... Back on topic, I'm glad they got the boat back. I hope the insurance makes good! And the culprits are brought to justice. Colby
