Ha! You blue state bastards voted for what you got! You deserve it.
Burglars have been raiding yachts and houseboats in the Oakland-Alameda
Estuary in a surge one resident compared to the pirate movie "Captain Phillips."
They steal anything of value, then either sink the ships or dump the
remnants of plundered boats miles away in the Oakland Harbor or along
its shorelines, said Dan Hill, who lives on his boat like many other
families in the 800-foot waterway.
Each "attack" can cost the owner thousands to tens of thousands of
dollars, Hill said.
Some in the tight-knit boating community have talked of arming
themselves as jurisdiction question marks and eroding law enforcement
staffing levels complicate the issue.
"It's probably the most popular boating area in San Francisco Bay," Hill
told Fox News Digital of the Alameda side of the estuary. "The weather's
great. It's a lovely little place that the people love going to. It's protected. It's beautiful."
But since the summer, he and many other residents believe the homeless encampments in and around Oakland overtook the estuary and wreaked havoc
on their daily lives.
"We're in this little, lagoon area, where the water comes in. There's a
condo complex, beautiful parks," Hill said. "We started to see homeless
people camping out there. That's never happened before.
"That being said, these guys are finding old abandoned boats, stealing
them and anchoring out illegal boats. And they're taking dinghies (small recreational boats) and riding around and stealing s--- off people's
boats."
Boat owners shouldn't mind if people steal the shit off boats. It's
usually the end result of gay sex anyway.
