Title: My Boat is missing
Post by: shanook on July 24, 2014, 23:14:56 CET
I am posting again as the other post is a privileged board and this is open:
I went to make sure that the boat was ok as I was departing to UK and it was not on the mooring. Made report to police, the ropes were still intact. So its either a prank and the boat is adrift or its been stolen.
Please have a look out.

Make: Kaptan
Reg: MFC334 Valletta
Colour white with blue rubber rail

if you see it please inform the Qawra police station as I am abroad
thanks

I shared a post on FB aswell Tony. Got many friends from SPB and Bugibba so if it is seen they shall contact.

Lets hope for the best Ton as your boat is not a tender boat which could be easily smuggled. If i have any info i will contact you.

You must be really stupid to steal a boat like a Kaptan Sway since  less than 20 where built in total and they are found only in Malta. Once you steal it, what do you do with it. I have one of these boats. You can recognize it from 5miles away. The boat builder probably knows in person all the owners. If it was a car you could sell it for scrap metal....but a boat you cannot use and sell......what do you do with it ?

If you try to sell the instrumentation you will be caught instantly in Malta. What the hell is going on. It is more plausible that some one needed the boat to escape from Malta and then sink it somewhere because sealing such a unique boat in Malta is like stealing the Mona Lisa and try to sell it on Ebay

Later I will phone the police as I am currently out and just logged in. Or else if anyone wants to call in the meantime. My friend saw your boat yesterday tony. I don't know if there is where you usually you have your but I believe it is usually bugibba right?

I hope it's not the same one the police asked me about, as it did not have any markings on it.......

Redhead, that's why I still think it is adrift...

I think in Bugibba there are CCTV cameras if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps the police can have a look at the footage!!!

No news so far, nothing.......still hoping it's going to be found in Sicily or whereabouts.......mind you if it's set adrift who knows where it will end up.
Thanks a lot for your help guys. Most ports have been checked like B'bugia, bugibba, xemxija, valletta, pieta, st Julian's,sliema m'scala etc.but a look out helps just in case.
