Good luck on your recovery efforts. Pound the social media, that polished hull is gonna make it tough for them to keep it under the radar. If the detective assigned to your case isn't responsive, communicate only via email and always cc: their chief. It's ok to be a bit of a pest to the detective, no matter how trivial they'll try to make your case sound. Not sure how it goes in Pierce County, but I know that in Snohomish my trailer was very low on the priority list and they knew I had insurance, so they had better things to do. :twocents:
Man thats infuriating, sure hope homeowners extends to cover where you had this stored. Is there a way to search craigslist by state, or just region within the state? Makes searching tedious when you have to go through tacoma, then seattle etc
Search Tempest works pretty well - you can search a pretty wide range at once.

The boat will probably show up dumped... generally they wont waste the time cutting it up. They take the motors and electronics and call it a day. The boat and trailer are Vin verified and attached to licensing so easy to id..the motors have vin's but generally people don't keep track of those.
Sorry this happened. Hopefully she's covered and you can upgrade her.

Show the pictures to the Puyallup Police, they have likely been to the apartment complex many times in the past and will recognize it by sight...

Pic of boat at a Puyallup apartment complex. Please ID complex if you can and PM OP ASAP.

Hitch lock. I also ran a cable through my cargo trailer wheels around the frame. FiL called me paranoid. I did not have to deal with this.

No guarantee, I had two trailers stolen with a lock. A small one was cabled to the big one. They even took the cinder block the jack was on....

I keep my boat under covered storage behind a locked gate with tongue locked, motion alarms and infrared cameras
Do I still pay attention to it and stay vigilant
yes

Shimming a lock is a no-talent hack. My oldest wanted a lock pick practice set for Christmas. It turns out that not much talent is need to begin picking locks.I had a box of old combination locks I forgot the combinations for. After about 10 minutes of Youtube videos I had them open and had the numbers for each lock. Scary how easy it really was to do.

Yeah, really interested in the after action report. And I am pretty sure I found the apartments, but after I came back here to post, I saw that things were already under control.
So you found his boat on the internet for him? :dunno:

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.

No. I sought his pic. Posted it here, started searching, then came back to post my answer, and found that he posted that the boat was found and impounded.
I'll let him fill the details in if he chooses.

Like has been said, lock it up good, tongue lock to slow them down or cause them to look elsewhere, python cable through each wheel with large heavy duty pad locks, and or even remove one wheel when its parked at your house....
Lights, cameras etc

It's not your fault it was stolen but it is more common than people want to think. Glad it was recovered and man that had to be a sinking feeling. Even better it is still in working order.

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.

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.
