Last night, wednesday the 4th, our family jet ski was stolen from Burpengary.

It was at a family friends house who is a mechanic getting repaired. The theifs cut through a wire fench and pushed the jetski and trailer out onto the road and away. It could not of been towed by a car as it had a trailer lock on it at the time so would of needed to be grinded off. the engine was in pieces at the time also, however the ski looked to be all together. Details of the ski as follows:

Or it was towed away by just crossing the chains and connecting them up.

Many people forget or don't know to put the chains through the lock as well so they can't be used to tow with.

Good tip!

Bloody thieves... Bring in Iraqi style finger guillotining for thieves I reckon. Hard to steal stuff with fingers missing!

Luv to see the look on their faces when they realize they have stolen a non runner , not complete.

Hope they get caught and the insurance company plays fair.

BaitThrower I received a series of photos from Iraq the other day of an 8 year old boy, caught stealing in a market, they held him down and ran over his arm with a truck, permanently crippling his arm. I don’t think we need that, but I do get your point!

You'd think if your mate knows what parts were needing replacing, he would put the word out to all the jetski dealers and parts people out in your area. May get a few nibbles to pass onto the police. I am sure an honest person would be happy to show them their jetski to clear themselves off the list.

Mate had his big Centre Cab stolen a few years ago, he put the word out to both the Manufacturers if his boat and motor, took 2 years but he did get it back. Bastards onsold it and the new owner had a problem, went to get it done through warranty, low and behold the cops turn up saying the boat wasn't his...

So not all is lost, put the word out there and you never know...
