Arriving home from work Friday I discovered my trolling motor missing,
apparently stolen that afternoon. If any one in the Portland OR or Vancouver WA area comes across a 2000 Honda 15 serial # 1502265 and wants to do the right thing please notify the Washington County sheriff's dept. at 503-629-0111. As odds of recovery are about zero I guess I'll need to replace it. Yamaha has been frequently recommended lately so I'll check those out along with the new Honda's. Any others worth a serious look? 6-10hp 4 stroke smooth idle slow trolling good low speed adjustment resolution TR-1 auto-pilot compatible Thanks for any help, -rick- |

That why I carry a Deasert Eagle .50, and have my home armed better than Fort Knox. I also like to scare off any Usenet folks that I have severly insulted,and lied about.

Depending on where you are, it's almost certain the asshole is a local
yokel. Hang out at the launch ramps for a while, and your kicker may well show up. For protection, take either a gun or my X along.

Coincidently(?) Verizon had crews installing fiber optic cable in the neighborhood the last few weeks and they had just moved on. About a week ago my wife caught one of them coming around the side yard (next to the boat) while she was in the back and he quickly asked her for a glass of water. (I suspect they have their own water) Their trucks had Washington plates and a neighbor across the street noticed a white pick-up with Washington plates in front of my house the day the motor disappeared. All circumstantial I know. By the way, the Master padlock was worthless, they clipped it right off. thanks, -rick- |

![]() By the way, the Master padlock was worthless, they clipped it right off. Back in the late 80's when I did aerial and underground line construction, we carried large bolt cutters to cut 'support strand' wire and heavy guage ground wire. It would make sense that the Verizon crew would have tools such as these. See if you can find out who was on that crew....subcontractors, Ima guessin. |

Verizon was very active around here with cable work and there were some items stolen - no breakins, just stuff out of garages, etc. Verizon was very pro active in attempting to retrieve the items and cooperated with the State Police which busted a theft ring centered around Verizon out-of-state construction crews. Of course you have to have a police department willing to pursue the issue. Complain to the cops first, then Verizon. Later, Tom |

Fascinating thought about the fiber optic crew and theft ring.
For the future, check out the anti theft item that mounts over and covers over the clamp handles. The one I have is called "fulton outboard motor lock" which I know you can find at Iboats.com. I don't know if it's absolutely teft-proof, but it would take more than a cable cutter to remove it. |

Forget it! If the thieves want the motor they'll get it. Around here they use a Sawzall to cut a nice chunk out of the transom with the motor still attached. T hey cut the cables, wires and all. The only way to stop em is to be there with a shotgun. CN |
