Burgled Boat

We were sorry to hear that Narrowboat 'Grace' was broken into down at Shiplake college last week. The thieves broke in through the front doors, and trashed the inside of the boat and all of the storage cupboards in their pursuit of 'stuff'.

When Anna got back to her boat, she was understandably devastated. The police turned up and managed to lift a footprint, but they didn't seem overly concerned about fingerprints on the doorframes or interior.

There has been a spate of outboard engine thefts down there, but this is the first time that a boat has been broken into. Commiserations to you, Anna. We hope this doesn't put you off boating.
