Incident Date: 2019-11-15 at 09:00
Event Type: Theft
Stolen Items: Yamaha 8HP outboard motor
Secured: Locked
Source Type: 1st Hand Report
Incident Details: Two (2) yachts were rafted together and anchored off Livingston. Overnight, a locked and lifted dinghy had its Yamaha 8HP outboard motor stolen. The engine was locked to the dinghy and the thieves apparently used bolt cutters, as no metal shavings/shards were found in the dinghy. No police report was made, but the theft was reported on the local VHF before departing that morning for a foreign port.
