Chris Pink Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Stolen from a boat last night; a solar panel, 2 gas bottles, a gangplank a chimney and a jerry can. The boat was moored at Limpley Stoke. Sounds like a boater so keep your eyes peeled people. It is unlikely that he’s going to get away with it long term so a 24 hour amnesty is offered. Pass it on and be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Scullery Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Description of items? Especially the gang plank, it's rare 2 gang planks are exactly the same, will make it easyer to keep an eye out on the roof of passing boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money would be on the gang plank being long since chopped into pieces and on a stove on a boat somewhere...or re-painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but why nick a gang plank to burn when plenty of people have piles of nice, seasoned logs on their roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea..TBH. it just might have seemed a good idea at the time to nick it.. Edited April 10, 2011 by MJG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Pink Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Apparently an angle grinder was used to remove the panels and flue whether 18v is not known, near the road so possibly a boater, possibly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Nibble Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 A friend of mine had some items stolen which he then spotted on another boat which had just been bought. It seems to be a cheap way of making a boat look nice for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Doran Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Now is the time of year when there is an increase in users of the canal. Unfortunatly this means that there might be more un-desirables about. There were certainly lots of people at Warleigh weir this weekend, and I know that some of them got bored of walking home and borrowed bikes. Keep vigilant. Chris, I hope it was not off of your boat Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Pink Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) No not me, a boat called Bootneck ....and bikes have always been 'lock them or lose them' Edited April 11, 2011 by Chris Pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePiglet Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Also, an Avoncliff boat was broken into mid last week. Possibly for shelter as to my understanding, nothing was taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
