There was a prindle 15 washed up on a local beach sometime ago. It had a hole punched in the side but was a half decent boat. I had my eye on it and dragged it up the beach and put it tidy to see if the owner ever showed up. I think the best part of the winter passed and the day came when i was going to take a trailer down and 'store' it at my place for safe keeping.
The council just got there before me and had chain sawed it up into chunks just large enough to get on a skip! Argh!
