Going ashore this morning I was warned by a local about a spate of outboard thefts from dinghies parked on the beach. Apparently 5 reported so far this summer.
So if you’re visiting you’re advised to use a padlock.
I expect that in Paihia but surprised to hear of it on Waiheke.

Waiheke?
Did you not see the nutters, activits and the Iwi faction at the Kennedy Pt Marina construction site?
I say Iwi faction cause the Iwi gave the marina the blessing, then some young adults from the Iwi decided they did not like it and formed their own Iwi association. Same name accept for one word.
Short story is there is a very strong anti boaties and anti anyone successful (i.e. with money) on Waiheke.
I would think outboards would be a legit target for such aggrieved people. That, and they probably view it as part of the Rahui. Can't remember which one, there are several at Waiheke. Crays, Paua, Mussles, something else (scollies probably) and Caulerpa.
