All of the damage to the boat was done in less than 24 hours. Crackheads work hard and never sleep. I wish part of restitution would be they would have to put it back together. These bastards could work on a NASCAR pit crew if they got off the drugs. Lol

No doubt. I knew an old boy and his brother who somehow managed to get a box car on a siding in Rome Georgia and cut the thing up with a cutting torch and sell it for scrap. Seriously. The thing was down a hill about 100 feet high and probably 75 degrees. They had to drag the torch and oxtgen/acetelyne (stole that also) down that hill, cut that big bastard up in pieces small enough that they could carry it back up the damned hill and then load it on an old truck and haul it to a junk yard. Took them about 8 weeks LOL. In summer. In Rome, Georgia. They mad about $1500 when they were all finished. This was in the late 1970s so $1500 was no small amount of money but they worked about 16 hours a day 7 days a week for nearly 2 months at some seriously hard, back breaking work, and split $1500 for their efforts LOL. A dam boxcar is built from some thick arse steel...there is no telling how much gas they had to steal to cut that thing up. I suspect the spent all day cutting and all night stealing gas LOL. I was about 10 at the time and they hired me to help...I worked about 30 minutes until I realized they wanted me to climb back up that hill toting that steel...I drug up on the spot and went back to cleaning bricks at a demo'd school for a penny a brick. They weren't crack heads but they were serious, devoted and accomplished drunks....they were convinced cutting up that boxcar beat having a job LOL...
