Why is it brilliant? 

 

We used to get drunk idiots vandalising and trying to nick boats when I worked at a Thames passenger boat company. It's just a pain in the arse for everyone.

But then they had (one) nice boat worth nicking - perhaps that's why it was kept on the island. Takes a long time to get it started....

No doubt plan was slap on coat of grey oxide, take it up the Brentford flight, and paint the interior white. Then put it on eBay. Can’t see much wrong with the plan, only the execution.

It also says hijack. That suggests keys in and someone on board, or is it just sloppy language.

Stupid boat to nick. They'll be scraping all the bridge holes in that thing.
