Lightning Bay here...where PerfectMix's Donzi got stolen. We have tried to do everything we can to protect our stroage customers and our inventory of boats. Since the first boat got stolen, we beefed up our locks, installed 5 cameras and sent letters to all storage customers about the original theft to make them aware of the issue and to secure there boats with some recomended locks.
We have purchased what we have been told are the best locks and chains available, but that did not work. The cameras did not stop them? To hire a guard is extremely costly and ultimately would cost the customer a lot. The St. Pete Sheriff is even considering installing there own surveillance equipment to help out, which we of course agreed too.
Watch dogs - I WISH I could...but my insurance company will not allow it. Unfortunately, even thieves have rights and if someone gets bit, we still have potential exposure to get sued! Sometime the system sucks!
Hopefully we recover the boat soon....and the boat is in good condition. I just don't want anyone to think we take this lightly and we are making every effort to protect our customers that we can.

When are you getting the dogs??? Customers boats or thiefes seems to be an easy choice, regardless of what a greedy insurance agent is telling you. I have dogs, no one will ever touch my boat without getting memories from it. Works for me and will prolly make your custyomers happy too!

I'm really getting sick of this sh*t. We had our 2005 35 Donzi ZFC Stoled last night in N. St. Pete. It was locked in a storage facility near Gandy Bridge. It had a toung lock, also a pad lock in the latch, I had cables around the rims and frame of the trailer. It is a Michigan baot, The boat had a full cover(grey) and motor covers on it when it was taken. It has(2) 275 Verados and the boat is absolutely mint. It is on a Nextrail Trailer with aluminum mags with two spares. If I had to guess this boat is going south. This is the second boat that has been stolen from me this summer 
If you guys see this boat please give me a call. 989-350-8444 Thanks

DonziFreak, if YOU can not understand that then heck yeah...go back to where you came from! My family and friends did not fight wars for your kind to come over here a F everything up!
If you and your family came here the correct way and do the right things and are tax paying hard working citizens then you will have no problem with my view point!

WTF?! You can't be for real.
One minute you're sitting there telling us that we need to respect Cubans, and then in the next breath you're calling all mexicans azzholes. What planet are you from?! You're no better than a person who doesn't like Cubans. Don't expect sympathy.
Lastly, in this particular string of thefts Cubans are responsible (as stated by lightningbay), so therefore at this moment it's the azzhole Cubans we're pissed at for these thefts.

I owned two body shops for a number of years where we serviced high priced imports. Each night we let our two Doberman's roam the yard.......we NEVER had an issue 
I would try that first and foremost......
