Don't laugh too hard...but two guys and a boy waded up out of the bay and STOLE OUR BOAT OUT OF OUR YARD on Sunday. Wesley was home, saw them and thought wth to himself, but didn't confront them as he was alone. It's just a 8 to 10 foot old aluminum green jonboat, no motor, was registered 25 years ago but not renewed as the motor was sold after my dad died, slightly warped and a small hole in the bottom. Still, it was nice to piddle around on, and it belonged to my dad . I can't believe anyone might have thought it was abandoned; it was IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE.

Fuzz discovered the boat was missing yesterday (Wesley had forgotten to advise us ) and, after learning of the bay people absconding with it, walked the shoreline from our house to Cabbage Rose Lane late yesterday afternoon. No sign of it. He would search again today, but he is back at work today and since he is now off patrol and back in CID, he can't drive around and look for his boat.

If anyone goes kayaking or messing around in the bay from 331 or Bay Drive east, and sees a boat that looks like that pulled up somewhere, please PM me? or call my cell, 850-585-6471?

Meanwhile, make sure all of your stuff is locked up or tied down...and tell your teenagers that people coming up and leaving with your stuff warrants a phone call .
