Heads Up For Stolen Kayaks

Interesting post from SoCal: http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/showthread.php?t=14949

Personally, I have scratched my name and drivers license number inside my hull for extra precaution.

We dont have any kayaks in front of the store so not 100% which ones you are referring to. Only time there are boats out front is when we are wrapping/shipping or they come in from factory.

These kayaks were stolen as a result of 2 cut cables and locks. They were also under flood lights. The specific boats were taken, not the 2 easiest to grab. One was buried pretty deep in the rack so they must have really wanted it. Still reviewing security footage but hopefully we can figure this out, especially interested since the guy who stoel them last time just got out on parole this last month.

Great idea. I just had an idea of posting my kayak's serial number on my avatar too.

I thin anything you can do to personalize your kayak is some form of theft deterrent as well.
I'm thinking big stickers or paint. I would certainly recognize my own kayak, covered in designs, if it were ever ripped off. It would take a lot of work to remove all that stuff.

Unfortunately when recovering your yak with law enforcement its not good enough.  You will be asked to present proof of registration / ownership.  Scratching your CA Drivers Lic will also work on your favor.

If I ended up going to prison for catching a theif stealing my kayak.... they would not be "walking".
