Hire the local P.D. to sit in your yard over night with a cop car. Its called off duty employment and every police dept does it. When the cop is there, all his other buddies will come and visit him, so then you have a bunch of P.D. cars in your lot. As a business owner, you will probably get a break on your insurance as well. The thieves will not bother you anymore.

This is very true Wardey, you could do a multitude of different things to try and keep theft from happening. The bottom line is it increases the cost to own a boat. Maybe worth it maybe not. If these thieves know damn well that they are only going to get a slap on the wrist for grand theft that sure they feel it is worth it and will continue to steel your stuff, my stuuff and everyone else's stuff, that thinks it will never happen to them. These crimes need to be puplisized. I watch the news and see crooks getting busted for stealing $100.00 from a gas station. Or shop lifting a couple of CD's. Then when someones boat gets stolen you get(from the Police)"ohh, this stuff happens every day, I hope you have insurance, I guess we'll write a report and get with you if anything shows up" If that doesn't give you a fuzzy feeling about the people payed to protect us I don't know what will 
To me it is not a matter of insurance, it is personal and one feels very violated when this happens. I would never, ever wish for something of mine to be stolen for any reason. Even if I wanted the boat gone, that is what classifieds are for. This post is not intended to offend any law enforcement people that know in their heart, they are living by the oath they took before serving the puplic.

I'm not sure you would be saying that if someone invaded your property that you work so hard to keep nice, loan or no loan. I know you were kidding but it is a shi**y feeling.

Over here local PD considers it an insurance issue.. Until they get a KITA from the higher ups.. Sad to say, sorry to the good guys, but thats the attitude here. Hell, when thieves almost got my SECOND pair of Yamaha's in 6 months, I had to get ahold of a sergeant to make them fingerprint the boat.. AND you could see bloody and greasy fingerprints all over the transom with the naked eye..
Not that it did me any good
