Please keep a look out for a white hull with blue top stebercraft boat STOLEN from Taylors Lakes, vic on 21/9/07. The motor is a 75 Mercury. Boat Rego:HW707 and Trailer Rego Q40998. The boat was taken from off our front lawn. It is our 20 yr old son's boat which he has been working hard to pay off. He has not had it to long and was looking forward to using it this summer!

Best of luck to your son in getting in back! There are some mungrels out there that is for sure! Was it insured?

Hey Muddo,

Mate, tell him to keep the chin up.

I was in his shoes about ten years ago (as a 17 year old), my first boat stolen from outside my window. It wasn't insured either and had a new motor.

I ended up getting most of my gear back, and the episode only cost me about 1k. The guys that stole it are probably in jail again.

Ten years later, and i'm onto boat number twelve and couldn't be happier.

There is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Regards

Darren

thanks darren, It's nice to know there are some good guys out there. The boat wasn't insured unfortunately. It is a pretty hard learning curve but he will keep his chin up and be out there fishing ,even if it is from the shore. thanx again, regards, maddog

Sorry to hear it wasnt insured... hind sight is a marvelous thing and at 20 with lack of funds and innocence on your side I guess you dont think some prick will rob your pride and joy. I hope they rot in hell.... and you get your son's boat back! No news yet I am guessing? Let us know if you hear anything... Good luck once again!.

should stick out like dogballs, if it comes up to Nth QLD. I'll keep an eye out

[maddogrulz]

hi there, unfortunately no news so far(still hoping) and no luck getting a photo as yet. will post one though as soon as we can. 20 year olds dont always think the worst especially when all they want to do is to enjoy fishing!. thanx everyone for your posts.
