Tom went over to check our boat, as soon as the water levels would let us get near.
We find that some on has untied and wheeled away our BBQ and also a sack truck that we were given.
Tom then went over this week and some one has cut off one of our fenders, tom also things some one has taken our window cover but i'm not sure that we had put it on. so will have to wait untill i get over there to look unfer the bunks.

We are annoyed about the bbq as we got caught out in the floods and the weekend that we were going to take these bits away the river came up and we couldnt get near.

We think its the fishing club that uses the field in the winter, we always have trouble with them messing with the ropes, fishing from our landing stanges etc.
Why cant people leave things alone.

Sorry to hear that, we have suffered theft form our boat first hand its sickening, it was when we were on line moorings thats why we only go to secure moorings from now on, boats are very easy targets and the bits easily got rid of on places like ebay, hope you find the culprits and deal with them to a manner they deserve 8)

Went to the boat today and a couple of others came down later. It would appear that we have trouble with the local Tewks scum.

A bigish Sheltland on our moorings was broken into, smashed the door lock, let off a fire extinguisher and generally made a mess. It would appear that it happened in the early hours of the morning.

Two or three of the other boats have been tampered with as well.

This is the second time we have had trouble in the last 2-3 weeks. The first time, I was told they flattened the 6ft chain link fence to get at the boats.

So far they have not touched mine. YET....
I took the trouble today to lock the cockpit extinguisher in the cabin.

Anyone know of way of wiring up an electric zapper to the canopy zip. :lol: (I'll proberly be in trouble now)

One of the boats on our mooring has had the canopy slashed, and someone has had their tv ariel cable taken.
We think we know who it is but have no proof, so we are going to add some cctv some how.
