Italy, Sardinia, Olbia: Break-in and Burgled - July 2015

It seems the crime continues at Mole Brin (old commercial quay) in Olbia.

Our boat was broken into in broad daylight (middle of the day) in July.

The thieves seemed to be watching as they struck when we left the boat to go to the supermarket. They used a winch handle (that we foolishly left out) to bash the lock off the hatch. This was despite having boats on both sides of us. They took our computers, a camera and binoculars.

The local police were not interested, just took a report.

We were told that we were the fifth boat in 3 weeks. I have since heard about another.

Unless you have excellent locks do not leave your boat unattended alongside the quay here.
