They are on the road home so not sure if they’ll see this for a bit.

about a mile from that. Life preservers still in the boat! We have a few pictures, but as we were on quads we couldn't carry anything back . We
reported it to the police- 24 Baja - anything else you want me to do?

Hi Marv, I sent a message to the boat owner (Bill Vessels) about your discovery and post here.

This must have been posted by an insurance salesman. Read the policy??? I don't have little boy eyes anymore. Everything is covered - until you
have a claim. Insurance? My brother had some once.

Bad news to report. Evidently the thieves went back out to where the boat was left in the desert and torched it. Maybe to destroy evidence? Too bad.

So sad and borders on evil to take something from someone and do that. I hope some of the good people of Bahía hear who is responsible so this may
not happen again to someone else.

wasn't the owner on his way to get it? i read that 5 days ago. and why would the thieves go back to the scene to torch it? too much chance to be found
out. i'm thinking this is different people but then again, only the scorpions and lizards really know what happened.

The boat was found about 14-15 kilometers out of town on the dirt road that goes up Manila canyon as I understand what Marv posted.

I wonder if they might have done it to diminish the potential for a reward to work. The owner is less likely to post a reward for the motors if the
boat is destroyed.
Very odd that it was torched shortly after a report on Nomads that the hull had been found. Coincidence? Most everyone in BOLA has access to the
internet now, dont they? Nomads is a pretty well-known website.

Thieves are generally pretty dim. I doubt that they put much thought into it.
Could have even been kids , I grew up in a very remote area long ago in a lawless place and sorry to say kids my age set more than a few things ablaze

I would bet on the report to the police prompted the torching much more so than postings on the internet.

I doubt there is any conspiracy here, BUT I would bet the POLEECES know who dun it....Gringo or Mexican....Usual results are expected....Interesting
activity over in GN...Locals are finding these thieves and beating the chit out of em.....Maybe that will help...
