* FOUND* Summary of info re Chris and Graham's stolen boat

[stripey]

I've done my best to garner all of the relevant information, including possible sightings that have been later ratified as not being the stolen boat.

I may have missed things, so please copy and repost with any necessary amendments. I hope that doing this makes it easier to follow. I've copied it in from Word, so the formatting is a bit skewiff.

I've moved some posts that were comments to the main 'Stolen Boat' thread. It's best if we could keep this thread for definite information and/or photos only. Thanks.

This was a good effort Stripey!

I have unpinned this topic but will pin it again if there are untoward developments.

As a final post, it is widely reported the boat has been found and is in the hands of the police.

 

Reputed to be at Great Hayward Marina but no-one so far has reported actually seeing it there.

[bizzard]

It might have been taken to the police station for questioning.

[MtB]

Thanks for floating that idea...!

[RLWP]

It might have been taken to the police station for questioning.

 

Does that mean we may see it in the dock?

Chortle!

[GoodGurl]

hope they have a water tight case.

[MtB]

I doubt they have. The thief appears to have sunk without trace...

Guess it's all water under the bridge now...

I always enjoy the punfest that appears from time to time. Can't think of one myself, though.

Never mind the puns, I think we should be suggesting names for C&G to call their boat.

 

After the hunt we've just had, I nominate "Red October".
