Attempted Boat Theft

Woke up to a bang last night and then a car speeding down the street with both sounds coming next to my boat which is parked on a paved area on the verge outside of my house. Went out to investigate and couldn’t see anything but this morning the wheel clamp is moved from where I normally centre it over the wheel so obviously someone’s tested it to see if it will come off. I gave it a pull and the bang was similar to the sound I heard last night.

In addition to the clamp I also have a hitch helmet and overnight I also have a 2 tonne ute parked in front of it which pretty much hides the hitch helmet. Only thing I could think is that they were trying to remove the clamp overnight thinking it was the only form of security so they could come back and steal the boat during the day without looking a suss by trying to remove the clamp them.

Head’s up folks, they’re out there.

Haha. The trim died again and I had to replace the entire trim motor but luckily the boat yard and the ones who repaired it came to the party somewhat and I am not out of pocket as much as I first expected. Onward and upward. If it's still there when I get home...
