***** stolen ***** pacific 22 drive leg

Stolen off the yard where our project Pacific 22 sits, a drive leg bought from Folly Ribs for £1,400 about 18 months ago.

We have a full set of photographs of this unit. If you are offered a drive leg or see one advertised, please get in touch with me and if you are the guy who came to view the rib and has come back and stolen the leg, you are a real low life. (The reason I suspect this guy is, in the recent weeks we have had the leg advertised we have only had one viewer and are off the beaten track on a farm, so, who else would know where to go to get a drive leg?)

We all need to stick together on getting crime like this stopped.

Any leads, feel free to phone me on 07799536428

Photo of it in its newly delivery state 18 months ago, all polished, which is maybe more how it will look if being sold on

A spate of recent thefts in the area - Christchurch - a 250 Suz & a 3.5 Johnson & tender - then this up the roadin Verwood . I wonder if its the same people targeting the area ?

One to watch out for.
