Any recent Francis Bay thefts?

Post by Charlie2001 »

Has anyone reported any thefts on the beach at Francis Bay in recent months? My bride-to-be are and I returning in July and were witness to a brazen theft when we were there last year.

Last July, as we looked up the beach, we saw a theft in progress. In broad daylight a rogue gang of miscreants thought nothing of raiding through a family's unattended belongings until they found what they were after.

Once they made their way further up the beach, they took their ill-gotten gains up into the seagrape trees to escape detection

I hope that recent reports on the car break-in cannot be traced to this same bunch of thoughtless criminals.

That was really ass-inine, or is it ass -inthree? Anyway, maybe they just wanted to burrow the floatie for a while. I'm sure they wouldn't jack(ass) anything of real value....just food sometimes. :roll: :roll: :lol:

That was extremely funny! Thanks for the laughs today!

Opened this with trepidation.

We're staying at Honeymoon Cottage at Francis next month.

I'll have to keep a watchful eye for any local hoodlums!

Too funny! I would expect playful behavior from goats but not donkeys.

That is so funny! I love how none of them want to let go of their ill-gotten gains! They're like 3 kids fighting over the new toy. Wonder what they finally did with it? Thanks for the pics.
Friends, they go away then they re-appear...I believe there is Magic here.

The mongoose dem have visited us on Francis. They prefer sandwiches! They go in a zipped up cooler of knapsack now.

This was a great set of pictures. So funny. We have had brazen thieves (mongoose) steal food on Little Lameshur. You can't leave any food out!
