I think that numbers that were off the register before the first extract for the boat listing are missing.

Our old boat was 52690 and isn't there

 

My boat number is only a few numbers along from yours, and mine's missing from the list too.

I don't need to, as it is already in English. But if you want it in French, try "Ma manque de savoir-faire technique est bien connue". Or something similar.

O.K?

It was indeed in English and I'm sure it's completely accurate as well. What I think MtB was asking you to do was reconcile that statement with your assertion "I made no such admission" in reply to my post.

Quite possibly, yes. But no such reconciliation is necessary.

Yes, exactly.

I CBA to take the trouble to compose such an explanation, as another fascetious remark would probably be the only response.

Well, I don't think Frank has made any facetious remarks, and I certainly haven't. Can you suggest who may have done so?

I changed the thread title in response to a request, but you somehow did not think that I had done so.

Back on topic.

Warwickshire Police Canalwatch have just posted brief details but interesting (or not!) "If you see the boat of have any information that could help the police with their enquiries please call 101 and refer to inc 72 of 20/3/18." Crime reference seems to differ.

So that suggests that the data export from BW was incomplete...  I will try to ensure I get a complete list from C&RT this year rather than just changes....

Located on the Shroppie and 'out of the water; - A couple of miles outside Middlewich by any chance ?

You will probably find Rog on Paneke (Dogless) moored about 59 yards away.

Good news it's been found, hope there wasn't much damage.

So it's been taken for blacking then?

Well it does seem a rather odd, and expensive, thing to do - steal a boat and then lift it and leave it on the bank with apparently no other steps taken to disguise it. Not many places on the Shroppie that have lifting and hard standing....

Quite. Could even be argued it was not stolen as there has to be an intention to permanently deprive the owner of possession or some such term. 

Setting it up on a canalside hard standing hardly seems to illustrate such an intention.

I think I'll try that with your van. Take it and park it up somewhere without telling you where. Sounds like I'd be in the clear

Isn't there a lesser offence called "Taking and driving away" which covers such situations?

Whatever the circs, it's good news that the owners have got their boat back.

There certainly used to be. It covered so called ‘Joyriders’.

Curiously that is precisely the position. Your defence would be successful. As Athy says, this was the reason ‘taking and driving away’ was introduced as an offence. Charges of theft of motor vehicles failed when the hobby called ‘joyriding’ became fashionable in the 60s. Dumping the vehicle instead of keeping it for yourself was a ‘get out of jail free’ card!

I wonder if a charge of taking and driving away of a boat would succeed...

And the test for taking and driving away was ‘have the wheels rotated at least one revolution?’
