(I felt that called for more than one !)

We are out on the commercial dock and are the only 2 live aboards way out here. They don't lock the gates because the fishermen need access. So this woman pretty much had it made.

When he alerted the marina and the police she went quietly. She explained her plan was to get as much booty as she could and then cross the border and disappear into northern British Columbia. Only the longer she lived there, the more comfortable she became and she never did leave.

This is the whackiest story I have ever heard. He just told me yesterday.

Any chance you are in Br*****on Marina on Sinclair Inlet???? Would explain it....

Death was not the "punishment ". It was brought on by their own circumstances!
Consider it was your boat . Feel different ? Nah lets let them have your boat lol.
Karmas a bugger aint it ?
If they'd lived they'd be in jail on your tax dollar watching cable with 3 squares .
Nothing wrong with my moral compass, i dont steal boats. But methinks your compass is a bit akilter.
If your boat was your home , go figure that, i protect whats mine , and others if need be .
If we let them have a boat , it should be yours .
Moral compass my arse!
At least my moral compass has fluid .
A matter of cleansing the gene pool perhaps.....
Have a wonderful day in the neighborhood.

Let's be clear, the original comment wasn't implying the thief would die through bad seamanship. The poster was clearly implying that if he caught someone stealing his boat, HE would kill them. It is ilegal to kill someone you catch trying to steal your property in nearly all juristictions, also an opinion held by the vast majority of humans.

Lets be clear!
Stealing is illegal!
There is no longer a vast majority held on anything.
If someone was boarding my boar/home without knocking or greeting or unwelcomed , id protect it at all costs. No moral compass required.
Grow a set.

Ya know, I'm a bleeding heart liberal, but I agree with this. I detest thieves. Think about all the things they ruin for the rest of us. Think of all the locked doors, the hidden cameras and the money spent to protect your stuff from these @ssh0les. I would like to place all thieves on a small island with a broken spreader, in the devil's triangle surrounded by fifty foot tail-slapping tiger sharks that are teaching their offspring how to hunt.

I got to this place the hard way. No, you can't normally shoot 'em. But if I found a thief on my boat you can bet that he would get wet. The water is cold up here. We don't have tiger sharks.
