3 scroats vandalised Shikara this evening. I have it on film and they will pay.

Oh no Brendan, that is bad news. I sincerely hope that the resolution on the film is good enough for the CPS.

I am so cross. It was three lads and I have a clear picture of them on the CCTV, so they will get caught. They have smashed the windscreen using a catapult. grrrrrrrrrr

Barstewards!

I think most of us know what it's like to have as boat vandalised or stolen from, so can sympathise But that is severe!

My lovely Binliner has just had her new outdrive trim system fitted along with a few other parts thanks to these scroats Unfortunately crime is universal, and cannot be left in the UK when I go over, unlike most other things I dislike about this country.

At least I have photos. A young lad smashed the bridge lights some time ago. When he saw the CCTV he cried and was repentant - enough for me, he saw he was wrong. These lads have smashed my windscreen and it is not a trivial problem.

I will see how insurance works and get the window fixed.

I was impressed by the police last time so I will give them a few weeks to solve it

I know which school they go to if the police do not solve it. And I think they are from good families.

p.s. what makes me sad is that Geoff was on that mooring last weekend. I asked him to move to the front of the island for peace and quiet... if that had happened to him I would have been distraught. And violent. And then who would have been in the wrong, legally?
