LAKE OZARK, Mo. -- Police are investigating the theft of a 1999 Donzi 33 Daytona stolen at about noon today from a local boat dealer.

The Donzi, valued at about $85,000, is white with purple racing flags and yellow trim.

It was stolen with its trailer and a purple boat cover from Midwest Boat Brokerage, located at 3401 Bagnell Dam Blvd, next to Denny's Restaurant.

According to the Lake Ozark Police, the boat towed by an unidentified vehicle proceeded westbound on Highway 54.

Anyone with information or that might have witnessed a vehicle pulling the boat in the area should contact Lt. Bill Edburg with the Lake Ozark Police Department.

Time for the boat dealers to buy some locks and chains to secure these boats. At least make it harder for them to steal.

They found the one (Donzi) that was stolen yesterday, but not mine...
