UPDATE!!!! Through the power of the almighty TigerDroppings the boat has been recovered thanks to Ranger362xt's cousin (I owe him a case of beer). St Charles Parish SO has arrest to people and said they were on their way to Houma with the boat to probably never be seen again.

They apparently took it out for a joy ride while in Baton Rouge. It has a messed up ignition from where they must have started with a screw driver and where they launched must have been a steep drop because they messed up the back of the trailer and light. Also, for some odd reason I am missing two cup holders and the decking on the rear battery box / live well is detached.


STOLEN BOAT! : If you are on the road or water and see a blue Berkshire tri-toon with bright green registration numbers (LA-3738-GC) on a Hi-Ride trailer with a 115 Mercury give law enforcement a call. It was stolen from boat storage in Baton Rouge this week.

09/13/2022 The DA Investigator contacted me yesterday for an update. I was misinformed the first time he and I spoke and I learned that the first offender Stephen Horne had absconded and there was a bench warrant for his arrest.

I was again contacted this morning because trail was to begin with jury selection for the other boat thief Travis Bourque, who also decided not to appear and now has a bench warrant for his arrest.

Should I put the OT detectives on the hunt for these fugitives?

An old guy from Slidell who I knew had his boat stolen. He found it himself. He told the cops and gave the officer $50 to administer some pre-trial justice. Justice was indeed served during the arrest.

Good luck finding your boat - I hate thieves.

Your boat will be found sans engine soon enough, that is all they wanted.

Did you drive that boat on the Diversion Canal a lot? I'm pretty sure I've seen that boat a couple times.

Good for you to get it back with that little bit of damage. Like someone else posted, I thought you may have gotten the boat back, but sans motor and controls.

Nice work by an alert, honest citizen. Now pop for a nice steak dinner to go with that case of beer. That man just saved you tons of paperwork, dealing with the insurance company and the hassle of finding a new boat to your liking.

I have one of these on my trailer. It's a very good deterrent to thieves. Now if they arrive with a cutting torch then all bets are off,

Glad you got your boat back Brusly, but posting on her webpage with your real name and facebook account probably isn't the smartest thing to do.

I'd delete that if I were you.

This is frickin awesome.
Congrats to Brusly on getting your boat back with minimal damage/loss. I'm positive you're more than thankful to not have to deal with the paperwork and insurance headache.

And to Possum Jenkins, . It's folks like you who truly look out for their fellow man that gives me hope we aren't as lost as it seems sometimes in this world. Again, to you.
