Intruder

[Rambling]

First nerve wracking experience for me yesterday. Got back ( middle of the day) to find a man hidden under my stern cover complete with hold all and knife (folded at least). Somehow seemed to sense someone was on the boat and didn't walk into it and join him. Got pics and Police know who it is and were great. But feeling wee bit vulnerable now.

Scary experience, where were you moored?

If you reply to the above post, just give a general location.. for your own safety.

too late

Sorry didn't want exact location, just following the posting re bandits hoped it wasn't connected.

Moored in a different place now thank goodness. Was just opportunist apparently.

Thats so scary for you, I hope the police bring him to justice. Theses creeps want locking up.

Take care

Any chance of letting people know where this was?

The River Wey

I was going to have a cratch cover put on with no windows, but won't bother now. Windows are good. Also going to look at greater security somehow. He has crow barred the back door, but was caught before the lock broke.

Bloody hell, glad you are ok. Must admit I would be crap in this situation as I know my temper would get the best of me! I scared the s*it out of the poor cart man who was only looking in my window to get the licence number. But this does seem to be the odd occurrence,hopefully.

I just confronted him, which probably isn't the best thing to do. (standing at a distance so I could run)
