A man has reported an alleged theft involving his 19-foot Bow Rider Boat, claiming that the perpetrator took his boat keys without paying for it.

The incident reportedly occurred between November 24, 2023, and January 31, 2024, after the boat owner posted the vessel for sale on Facebook on November 13, 2023.

According to reports, the boat owner was contacted by an individual interested in purchasing the boat, who then took it on a test run.

After signing a bill of sale, the buyer allegedly failed to pay for the boat, claiming he tried to wire transfer the money unsuccessfully.

Despite this, the buyer reportedly visited the boat owner’s home on November 26, took the keys, and left a message indicating he had done so.

The boat owner has since reported the incident to the police, stating that the perpetrator negotiated to purchase the boat but did not pay for it, taking the keys without permission.

The stolen boat is described as a black 19-foot Bow Rider Boat valued at 48,000USD.
