2088 – Theft in Saint Lucia – Marigot – Inner Bay
Incident Date: 2016-12-04 at 17:00
Event Type: Theft
Stolen Items: 2 fishing rods
Secured: Not Locked
Source Type: 1st Hand Report
Incident Details: After 2 nights moored in Marigot's inner bay on a Capella mooring, on the third day the crew went ashore for dinner. Between 4-7pm both fishing rods were stolen from the rod holders on either side of the cockpit. There was no evidence that the thief boarded the yacht. The marina office and police were advised. The victims and CSSN suggest removing all unsecured items of value from the deck/cockpit, and having a record of serial numbers/photos stored in a secure way/place (that cannot be stolen from the yacht) for purposes of investigation and proof of ownership should a theft occur. CSSN NOTE: This is the 2nd theft reported to CSSN within the last month at this location, and the 5th this year. Users can type "Marigot St Lucia" in the search box on any CSSN website page to get a quick summary/links, or utilize the islands reports tab (Northern Windwards) and sort on the location column for easily reviewed details.
