Thefts from Boats in Alton?

Jeanzb1 · 09-07-2010, 04:42 PM

There was also an article in this morning's paper about kayaks being stolen from Alton. YIKES!

I don't know if it is related or not but Monday morning the A.P.D. were talking to one of the vendors at the craft fair. I think they had somthing stolen out of their tent overnight. When I came to work Sunday morning it looked like someone tried to get in my back door. We have had problems in the past and I have resorted to putting construction fabric on my windows. Letting the bayrats that hangout across the street know that I will deal with them and not the police{ if I find out they did anything to my property} has been the best deterent though.

My marina is gated. You need a combination to get on the docks. It doesn't prevent folks from entering by water or air for that matter.

It was on the news somewhere that an owner of a stolen kayak found his kayak on Craigslist. Another owner found his kayak at a pawn shop in Tilton.

A couple of my friends had their boats broken into at parkers, fire extinguishes were discharged all over the boats and dumped into the river. Looks like kids vandalism, nothing taken from their boats other than the extinguishes. I heard atleast 10 boats in the river were tampered with and 2 camps on the river broken into. Marine Patrol and Alton PD were on the scene.
Since "Joe" passed there has not been a security guard that I am aware of, although I was told there is survielance cameras.

Broadhopper-
I had also heard that someone found theirs at a pawn shop in Tilton as well. Was this on the actual news station?

It was in yesterday's edition of either the Manchester Union Leader or yesterday's Laconia Daily Sun.

The only mention of a Kayak was a letter to the editor

1 stolen kayak has been recovered, we’ve got two more to go

To the editor,
Thanks to the power of print I recovered
my neighbors kayak that was
stolen from Alton at the end of July and
would like to thank the honest woman
who turned it in to the Tilton police.
I have found out that both of my
stolen kayaks were bought by one
person at Fast Cash in Tilton. One
of the kayaks was a Red Wilderness
Pungo, 9-ft with evidence of stickers
if they are not still on it. The other is
a Heritage Featherlight peach orange
color. 9-ft. If you purchased these
boats please contact the Tilton police
department or Detective McDoogle of
the Alton P.D. I appreciate your honesty
in advance, and thank-you.
