In Response To: Announce: RECOVERED KAYAK (Roger Hunter)

: Last November I posted a message about my stolen stripper kayak that had been
: taken from my garage in the Ballard area of Seattle. I am delighted to
: report that the Seattle Police Department, with help from an honest
: citizen, have recovered my boat. I want to extend my thanks to the SPD and
: to all of you who responded to my plea for help. Sometimes the system
: works!!

: See you on the water.

Hi Roger, I'm glad you got your baby back. Now I am curious. Did your boat have a HIN (hull indentification number) or a serial number of some sort that helped to prove the boat is yours. I know HIN's and serial numbers are not obligatory (in Canada) for small watercraft but I fear the law agencies won't bother looking for a stolen boat if you can't provide them with some kind of "official" identification.
