Dang Hairball...sorry to hear about this.

Thieves suck.

Ever considered adding a motion alarm to your boat? Might not be too difficult a thing to do, and the next idiot that tries to rip you off will be staring down the barrel of your favorite baseball bat. Place the speaker just under the transom so when it goes off it's right in the dude's face..:-)

(Leave the shotgun inside with the wife, if needed).
