Yep, believe it or not. I just got finshed with the process of replacing my prop (complete with McGuard lock) after the theft of the last one.
Jeanne, Zachary and I arrived at the boat storage facility today to find several boats broken into, including ours.
This time, it was my electronics and all of my rod/reel combos. The thieves busted all of the compartment locks. They cut a couple of the straps on my boat cover, despite the fact that it just snaps off. They couldn't seem to get the glove box open, after breaking off the knob with the pliers. Funny, I always thought that would be the easiest thing to break into. The prop lock works. The prop was still there.
Total theft somewhere in the neighborhood of $1800.
Also on the casualty list were ten rod and reel combos from a Triton, and a pop-up camper. Yes, a camper. The theives cut a hole in the fance, cut the motor chain for the electric fence, rolled the fence gate open, and trailed away the camper.
Once again, the real theft was time. They took a fishing day from my family, which can't be insured or replaced.
