thankfully, I've got a great neighborhood. I think most of the time these things happen with people cruzin around 'looking' -not necessarily from the surrounding area. I won't leave my boat out anymore. Storage is 1 mile away and I won't take the chance for an extra 15 minutes it takes to lock it up.
Would love to catch someone trying though. Rope, tree, several ant mounds I can collect torture from, and a call to police about an hour later.
