Stolen Items: Cell phone, $120 USD, 225 EC$, iPod Nano, LED Headlamp

Secured: Not Locked

Source Type: Unknown Hand Report

Incident Details: The crew left the boat for an island tour and were gone for 4-5 hours total. The (catamaran) saloon doors were closed but not locked. Upon returning, we did not notice anything out of place and we left Bequia the next day. One crew member could not find her cell phone. Then we realized there was money missing from a purse left in the saloon and then that the iPod & LED light were gone as well. There was a computer & tablet on board that were not touched (although these were somewhat hidden below). As we were in the Tobago Cays when we realized the theft had taken place, we had no way to report it. The boat was anchored in the NE section of Admiralty Bay .

1954 – Theft in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines – Canouan – Charlestown Bay (South House)


Incident Date: 2015-05-30 at 02:00

Event Type: Theft

Stolen Items: blue floatation jacket, flip flops, bag of clothes pegs

Secured: Locked

Source Type: Unknown Hand Report

Incident Details: The dinghy was raised and because of 2 previous boardings on the same island I also remove the dinghy bung and safety dongle so that starting of the dinghy would be difficult. I had left a floatation jacket over the lifeline for drying – totally forgot about this item. The clothes pegs are always left out because who would want to steal them?? My flip flops were left in the raised dinghy as they always are and will be. Someone came on board during the night and stole the jacket, bag of clothes pegs and flip flops without making any noticeable noise as they have done before on one of the 2 occasions in the past. First sign of boarding was that the lock saloon door was at a slight angle. No police report was made. CSSN NOTE: 2 prior incidents dated 12-30-2012 and 4-25-2015 have been added to the database.
