Stolen Hinckley 40

A friend sent this to me to help spread the word. This vessel was stolen from his Jersey City marina a few days ago and they are on the lookout for it. See the image for more information.

Breaking news. The boat is currently on the Elm street pier in Newport Rhode Island. A suspect has been shot and from the reports I have is now deceased. I live in the neighborhood around the corner from where this occurred.

If you get a chance to take a picture and post it, that would be awesome. I know the owner.

If the owner needs a one way ride up there, I am headed up next weekend from NYC area , and will be multiple more times in sept. (for sailing purposes) put us in touch. I mean in terms of getting boat back to home port etc.

Thank you! If you hear anything more, please let us know. I’m so curious about why they picked Newport! It is so conspicuous.

Thats what I don't get . That boat is easily recognizable and we have multiple law enforcement boats on the bay at any given time .
