Ah good. Well a message to the thieves. Somerset bridge Ferry dock. For the past few months there has been an unknown persons boat illegally docked there blocking access to the side stairs. They won’t come forwards and remove it.
Anyone who would like a free boat/engine/gas tanks etc feel free to come salvage. Its unguarded and the engine may be worth something. It is leaking a bit of oil though so may need some fixing.
It was probably that lowlife thug with no job or education named bermyshotta. Broke criminal needs to be caught.
I cannot believe Thank is saying that someone should steal bits off another boat. That is shameful! If you are concerned about that boat being there simply tell Dept of Marine and Ports and Marine Police.
they don’t care. already been done.
