Blimey, you'd think a bright yellow rib would be hardly inconspicuous to find. Let alone steal...... sorry for the owner. Was it stolen from a Marina?

Been found I believe.....
Broke a mooring chain and drifted out to sea... apparently the chain then tangled around a lobster pot and held the lot fast somewhere in the Irish Sea.
This however isn't fact, only what I heard from what I'd consider a reputable source.... I dare say the full story will unfold in time

Blimey, if that was the case that's one hell of a catch for the fisherman

I own that Lobster and I am claiming salvage, my Lobster who is aptly named "Lippy" towed it in on her own.
Really! there is no accounting for taste, which self respecting lobster would steal a yellow Rib

Sadly last years colour scheme, hence the owner abandoned the Ribcraft  think he is ordering a grey Ribeye like your mate Tim of the Thames.
What colour is the X5, don't say black please
