Watch your boat motors.....while traveling!

While staying at the Atlantis this weekend I parked my boat in a completely lit area. In their Semi parking lot. In the morning I awoke to a very damaged boat as they destroyed it to get Mercury outboard off. Needless to say the cameras evidently got everything and they left tools at the scene with prints on them. The reno police stated this is the 14th case in two weeks of Outboards and 1 inboard mssing from Casino lots. So i asked the police woman who called me later , " I can POSSIBLY see outboards being snatched withing a few minutes, but how in Gods name on the RENO police watch ( and Casino's Watch ) Do you allow a INBOARD to go missing, doesnt this take HOURS???" When I did not get an answer I remembered....... Ahh yes RENO 911 ......needless to say she wasn't amused. So watch your stuff as there is a really bad case of the missing Outboards going around.
