Break in at Sunset Marina

[JD5652]

We had some similar break-ins at my marina a couple years ago.... the marina crew and a few guys with badges stake out the yard from inside a few boats.... caught them red-handed.... I think a couple of the perps accidently hit their heads on a couple swim platforms on the way to the local precinct as well ....

Hubris, she is an absolute fish killing Sunny Briggs. Take the ride down from Jersey and come fish with me sometime. My rep and the boat's speak for themselves. Wasn't trying to really start anything with you, just figured that you like a good jab as much as I do! Tommy, thanks for the pics, makes me feel so much better just to see her, can't wait to get behind the wheel again. If Noah wants to make a few extra bucks painting or polishing this spring let me know, work days are approaching quickly thank god. You and Noah pick a Saturday this spring or summer and off we go. Still can't believe these guys came back. After all the money we spend to keep our boats there they should be able to afford to pay someone to protect them

Sweet looking Sunny Briggs you got there. Be carefull about inviting Hubris. He'll insist on being on the wheel and tell you to make him a Vodka with clear ice and light splash of Cran. Seriously though its a pretty rig. I like the classic Black name.

I forgot Jimmy sold the land. Sorry to hear he's not doing well. I kept my boat there years ago.


Sunset should put up a gate and close it at night to keep people from driving in and out. Its just a way to make it a little more difficult to steal things. There are other things they could do to secure that area a little more.

He can turn the wheel all he wants, as long as he doesn't know how to turn the autopilot knob............and as for the alcohol, I'll make it for him, but it will be crushed ice from the ice maker, and I can't guarantee that there will be anything left in the glass by the time I make it back up on the bridge And thank you for the compliments on the boat, she's my pride and joy.

Agreed, too much money sitting in that lot and I'm pretty sure that for what just 4 or 5 owners pay for winter storage per foot (plus being hauled in and out) they could pay someone to police the place all winter.

Yea. There's no way to make it completely secure and the breakins are not Sunset's fault, but it really is aggravation when a person's property is violated. It's just so easy to get in and out of there at night. I wonder if the thieves are coming back a 3rd time.

I AGREE!! THAT'S A FINE LOOKING BOAT!

Sometimes, go back and look at day 5 of the WMO coverage as I'm backing in..........I need guys that know how to use black streak remover and a brush No excuse for backing into a tourny with a transom looking like that. It WILL NOT happen again. Thievery sucks, sorry to all of those who had stuff stolen at Sunset. I've always had great service there and I'm sad to be sitting this far away from my baby knowing that no one is there to look after her Tommy, thanks again. Offer still stands, anytime.

I have to be able to take it if I dish it out. I didnt mean to upset anyone. Yes, I can be a jackass sometimes on here. Not all jokes are funny. But, thats a different story.
I hope you guys catch the thief, why would a grown man steal anything? By that I mean anyone over 12. Its stupid and if you get caught how can you ever show your face. I dont think its employees however. Now I dont know anything about them but, in cape may when they caught these kind of guys they had NOTHING to do with the marine business. Just a couple bums from 10 miles up the road. Why do they come back? Not because they are smart but because they are too dumb to realize people now know and its risky. I do know the marina however and they should at least have a gate and fence. Guys have millions of dollars sitting there.
And yes that is a really pretty boat. It caught my eye as soon as I saw it. Hope it works out where you catch them. Reason #1 why no one should ever be willing to buy "HOT" anything.

[Henrique38]

No I don't think it's anybody from the marina either, but I do think the thieves figured out they can walk in and out of there at will. That's what I meant about inside information. They knew when they could go in there. The marina does a good job and the guys there have always been great to me but way too many boats got hit this time. If these guys put half that energy into making a living they wouldn't have to steal.


Hubris, you sound like a decent guy this time. What happened?
