sold Quintrex Hornet 435 Stolen last night

[ozlad]

Hi Guys, well i have taken a week off to go fishing before starting my new job. Woke up this morning and walked outside to pack the boat to notice it wasn't on the back of my ute. Simply my boat has been stolen, 4 weeks after being broken into and all my fishing gear being stolen. I have attached a image of my boat if you happen to see it. Boat rego is RO782Q. It is a Quintrex hornet trophey 435 red black and white with a 40hp Mercury 4 stroke. I might be grasping at straws right now but thought it was worth a shot.

cheers guys,

[taib]

I feel your pain Ozlad! Make sure to call the cops, and GET your police report for the insurance company. What area are you in? Me and mates usually fish around the pink, so will keep eye open for you. Absolute %##@$@$#$!

[Bluevien]

Ozlad, that really sucks. I will be on the water a fair bit so I will keep an eye out for anything red. I hope you get her back quick.

[Do$tylz]

man that blows massive goats

Will keep my eye out mate.

I was in Moorooka cash converters this morning and I seen a guy hocking one of those electric outboard units, same deal as what you got, it was about 12 months old by the look of its condition.

Give em a ring I guess...

The guy looked legit though, but worth a look I guess.....stranger things have happened.

[billp]

They really need to bring in National Service again to teach people some respect, or if that doesn't work chopping their thumbs off, see how much they can steal then. Shouldn't be a hard boat to spot if it is still around, will keep my eyes open.

[Enormoss]

what a spue mate. that looks like a top rig too. will keep the eyes open cause i hope you get it back. bloody scums.

[Dazzamcgee]

sorry to hear about ya boat going missing dude!!! :ohmy:

if I saw that laying around I would consider nicking it.. not that I would...

Shame Shame Shame.....

[Funfisher]

thats a bloody nightmare come true, hope it finds its way home unharmed.

[free2rome2]

Sorry to hear that and really hope you'll get it back soon...

These blokes will have bad karma...

[straddiebrad]

[ozlad]

Thanks everyone for keeping an eye out and suggestions. I'm in the process of talking with the police etc etc. Just shits me big time as i feel like someone has been wathing my movement closely. Here i was thinking red hill was an alright area obviosuly not.

Good onya racingsteve. That's definitely a good network to tap into for this stuff

[AZZA]

Mate that realy sux about your boat did you have it locked to your car I will do as the others and keep a eye out for it

[ozlad]

Hey guys it has been as i have just started working on Barrow Island WA. I recieved a phone call from the police last week. They found my boat abandoned, fully stripped missing the motor. The boat had been re-painted black (hand painted) and put near some national park or reserve just north of Brisbane.

I just wanted to say thankyou to everyone who kept an eye out for my boat and suggested ways in which i could find/locate it.

Cheers again i really appreciated all your support.

[Do$tylz]

dude.. that's some terrible news... but then again at the same time hopefully good as it will let the insurance company get to sorting it out for you sooner.

[Dano]

shame to get it back in that condition mate...

just out of interest guys in general are boats an easy thing to "rebirth?" what is stopping someone from stealing it and getting it re-registered in their name?

I am a first time boat owner my brother and I have gone halves in a 3.75m Mako with a 15hp Yammy it seems kinda like if it was stolen you wouldnt see it again

A few of my friends have had Dirt bikes stolen never to be seen again as they dont go through the same sort of control methods as cars do...

so whats the go with a boat?

[straddiebrad]

mate i have data dot dna as a few people have and if some one was to try re-register it they should pick that up when they scan the motor at main roads if they bother to do so.brad

[Master Sardines]

hard luck there matey... But a nice looking boat like that will be easy to spot. I'm on the water all the time around the pin and southern bay islands. Will keep my eyes open for ya.

Cheers Steve
