Boat stolen!!! Please keep an eye out

Most important question is - did the crack heads get caught???

If so, theyll get a slap on the wrist and be out stealing more stuff in no time.  All while spending their cash on drugs and getting their food, medical care, and housing covered by the working class.

Washington State embraces restorative justice. It means criminals get no jail time and they are considered the real victims.

The recent two shooters in Seattle had been arrested multiple times in 2019 and no prosecution.

Yea yet the prosecuter could not be found to answer questions why.

It would be nice if there was a centralized database of stolen boat engine serial numbers that a person could check before buying a used engine.  Unfortunately, some people might not care if they are getting a "deal".

in some states don't you have to register your motor as well as the boat?
I know if i bring this up as an option, people here will start complaining about more registration fees, government oversight, blah blah blah.
but if it were a 10 dollar, pay it once decal type deal i personally wouldn't be opposed.
Once motors became 'traceable' it would (should) cut down on theft.

There is. Call the serial number into your local PD or SO and have them run the number.

Reading this thread kind of fills in the blanks of why my auto insurance jumped 25% in a year without any claims or tickets.  The insurance company mentioned that they model risk by geography and all signs point to our part of the world not being on an upward trend.
