Where do Stolen Boats go? Have you ever caught a thief? Are they usually paddlers or just opportunistic scum?

A mate in Foxford had a boat robbed from his van which was parked in a busy area about six months ago, the boat turned up one day on a local river bank in perfect condition a few months alter. The paddling community is too small in Ireland for them to be sold on.

I'd say 9 times out of 10 boat theft is by an opportunistic piss head on the way home from the pub, when they eventually do sit in the flippin thing they realise its alot harder than it looks, ditch it and mosey off to the pub....
Its a vicious circle!
