More than likely, this Dood is going to need a paddle soon (we'll assume they're too dumb to buy a PFD or other equipment). Contact every paddlesports shop, every sporting goods store, every canoe rental business..everyone you can think of with an interest in paddlesports. They're more likely to notice something amiss, and more likely to recognize your boat than the police. The police have so much other stuff to worry about, and most of the general public (police probably included) can't differentiate a canoe from a kayak, so....

You are most likely to find it right away, so do as much as possible, as quick as possible. After a week, your chances will drop off exponentially as the theives may take it far from TN.

Sorry and good luck,

Shawn
