Default Stolen Boat

On Satuday night this boat was stolen from Fort Road, Dumbro, Co Down, N Ireland

It is a Cape Cutter 19 there are only 3 in Ireland and approx only 100
made in England. The people who stole it did not get the mast or sails.

It was on bricks, behind a locked gate, and taken on its trailer. If anyone wants more details, or if by any remote chance it's seen, contact me, and I can pass on the any details.

This boat was found on Thursday (26th) about 20 miles from where it was taken. As far as I know an arrest warrant has been issued, and it has been reunited with its owner, who is very pleased. Thanks for all help and suggestions.

Good to hear news that the boat was recovered. Hope the thieving scroats get what is coming to them.

So now invest in wheel clamps, tow hitch clamp, take the wheels off, motion sensor and alarm and chain it to a stake in the ground!

Good result. I hope no damage has been done.

It looks a cracking little boat.
