Excel Vanguard 435 Loch Awe

Stolen Loch Aweside forest cabins. Between Saturday and Sunday 12th/13th August.
Poor family had car troubles and when they returned the thieves had thrown all their belongings and made off with the sib.
Lucky the trailer was well secured, but a shame some real fickin ars**oles have spoilt the families holiday after them saving all year for the setup!

See below from the theft victim

“STOLEN - EXCEL VANGUARD 435 SIB
stolen from loch aweside forest cabins between 10am Saturday 12th August and 10am Sunday 13th August.

ALSO STOLEN
BISON BATTERY BOX
12V BATTERY
SEVYLOR 12V PUMP
12V CHARGER
GARMIN STRIKER 4 FISHFINDER
SUZUKI 25LTR FUEL TANK
STANDARD HORIZON VHF RADIO
FAITHFULL 1/4" SOCKET SET
FAITHFULL 9 PIECE SPANNER SET
2 X 7FT BOAT RODS/REELS
3 X FISHING REELS
1 X 10FT MATCH ROD
1 X GIRLS GUL WETSUIT 12YR
NUMEROUS RAILBLAZA ROD HOLDERS/MOUNTS ETC
LEATHERMAN MULTI TOOL
Likely taken around 11pm on Saturday 12th possibly by Peugeot 3008 or similar as they left their parcel shelf.
I believe the scum involved knew what they were doing, all items taken compliment eachother. Probably stolen to use as a package rather than sell on individually. Paddle boards etc were all left untouched so unlikely it was an opportunistic thief.”


On talking to the guy he says the outboard was under the boat but wasn’t taken a 20hp Suzuki. Perhaps if it was a Peugeot car and not a van or camper as I suspected, they just didn’t have the room. Or maybe the were disturbed.

Who knows, but us guys with the sibs would be an easy target I suppose.

You never know, it may appear this side of the boarder. I'll keep my eyes open.
