As the title says.

We had our old 2st stolen off the back of the boat that was in front of the house. It was of course locked. It was taken overnight during rain.

I'm feeling a bit foolish for not removing it each outing but always thought nobody would want it as it looked pretty average. Anyway now that it's gone I'm told the 2st motors are increasing in popularity due to the lack of new availability and also for parts.

So don't be like me because even though it wasn't worth much the replacement certainly is.

Sorry to hear that, slammin. Be wary of them returning - they may have knocked the old one off just to set you up to pinch the brand new replacement

I would never wish harm upon anyone, but in this case I hope the thief has a stroke. No, you know what - I hope he has two strokes.




I'll let myself out.

Thanks for the laugh Ray. Yes a 2nd visit wouldn't surprise me. I'll be keeping the new one in the garage now.

See if you can find a free broken 2st.
Put a tracker in it, or a brown snake

Wonder if it's on a Facebook page for sale?

Yeah I've been watching FB. The tracker/brown snake is an idea.
