North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

sweet. glad old mate is gonna get his boat back, must have missed my calling, should join the detective squad

i called a D i know last week and gave him both links from here and the gumtree. he asked me to hold off posting here until they had a chance to have a look in case ol mate jumped ship.
well done everyone
he wont get it back if the insurance has been paid out. Just goes to show how stupid are in small place like Darwin

Guys,

This is Rob from Nautildawg83. I wanted to log in earlier but I have been unable to find my password (and my uni email that I used to log in with was deactivated). The police came around yesterday and have the boat in their custody and have asked me to go in and finalise the details on Tuesday. It looks like it may be a drawn out process but I have all of the identifying marks and serial numbers to know its my boat. It should be a foregone conclusion.

And fellas, a true thank you for putting this up on the forum, this is what lead to me (hopefully) getting my boat back. I kind of decided it was a lost cause about 3 weeks ago, and stopped checking the forum. But thank you for keeping me in mind and alerting the cops, I have a sinking suspicion that I owe someone a beer.

And I seriously can't thank you guys enough. I have to go to night shift now (actually a bit late) and will come back to give some updates on the process.

I will have to catch up with you fellas and bring a carton or two.........

And thanks again crew. Rob

good job boys ,

Still can't believe how stooooopid this thief is.

Well done everyone.

Hope you get your back soon and back out on the water .

That's an excellent result. Glad you got (soon will get) your boat back. Well done FFF team.

Yeah Jeff, most crooks are dumbarses

Someone needs to give that thief their spare anchor.
I can give you a way point to take him to
Can only hope he didn't have a chance to breed LOL

Looks like nomad and Hutchy get first dibs on the carton, well done

Doesn't get much better than finding a stolen boat, how can you beat it?

Good work fellas.......some nice detective work!.......What a dumbass trying to re-sell it in Darwin I guess he didn't realise how small Darwin really is or they are just another crack head.

Might be someone who bought it without knowing. The court case will reveal all. Perhaps a link to the court info could be provided by the owner in due course.

Great result

Yeah it looks like the person who was selling it wasn’t the person who stole it, but time will tell. Something doesn't gel to me ie. the new owner only had it for a very short time. Also looks like it wasnt insured (it will be interesting to see why they targeted this individual boat)
The bloke who stole mine was actually working on the concrete pour next door and thought it would look better in his yard than mine.

maybe Matt can get the OP to keep us updated

Talk about shitting in your own nest!!
Well done FFF Boys!!

You'd have to have a fairly plausible reason for buying and selling a boat in a matter of weeks, and be able to produce a receipt....and a reason why the stickers were removed etc
