Many years back my boat was broken into at the marina. They broke the lock on the cuddy cabin but once inside they found nothing of interest because they didn't take anything. All I had was my tackle box, life jackets and mounted VHF radio. Lots of guys around me leave rods and reels in plain view, and all their electronics mounted in plain sight, but I've only heard of one fellow loosing anything to thieves.

Just up the creek from me is a huge dry-stack storage facility -- a temptation to me since the re-fit. But we like being able to go out at a moment's notice -- day or night -- so we keep her in the water.

Now let's see . . . this thread was about paint or something . . . ;D
