Event Type: Theft

Stolen Items: dinghy/outboard

Secured: Not Locked

Source Type: 2nd Hand Report

Incident Details: A dinghy was stolen from a not specified dock in Rodney Bay. It was not locked to the dock, but the engine was locked to the dinghy. It was apparently taken to the Redduit beach area and the outboard and fuel tank lock defeated, and then set adrift. A cruiser anchored in the bay noticed it drifting by his yacht at 10:30 PM and rescued it, and the next day turned the engineless dinghy in to Customs who located the owner. It is not known if a police report was made by the owner.
