Stolet tender and o/b

Well they have struck again, on Thursday or Friday last week some little oike pinched our RIB off of our davits. Out boat is moored on the River Irtchen just north of Northam Bridge. The rib is a 2.7 meter Valiant rib, it is grey with a white hull and a 15 HP Johnston outboard. The Boats name is marked on the tubes (Bacchus).

I am fairly sure they took it on Thursday night by cuttiing the davit cables and towed it away as there is a real nack to starting it so I doubt they did it at the back of the boat. To make matters worse, while out at one of my Neighbours for a BBQ last night about midnight I am fairly sure they blasted down river past us but as we were on dry land, by the time we got to the boat it would have been too late to make chase!

So if anyone see's it about the itchen or there abouts let Portswood police station know as they are handeling the matter!
