Hey there, witness, thanks very much for stepping up to the plate and following these characters. Were it not for you, that boat probably would have disappeared for good. And you gave the police a leg up in their investigation. Sure hope someone like you is around if someone tries to steal my stuff. Well Done!

Isn’t that convenient!
They should outlaw black hoodie’s they seem to be at the center of a tonne of illegal activity….haha.
Grey hoodies OK? It is kinda cool today, ya know.
Yes, A big thankyou very much to the witness doing what was right. You are part of the real backbone of this country. Now we just have to get some politicians who have the guts to change some of our laws so that we are once again allowed to defend ourselves on our own property.
