One more thing to worry about.

A British insurance company,  Insurers Navigators & General (N&G) are urging
boat owners to take precautions and remain vigilant over the winter months to
avoid becoming a victim of the rising number of metal thefts.

It seems that the rising price of copper has prompted theives, equiped with a
wrench and a prop puller. to steal the props off poorly guarded boats in
winter storage yards.

I havn't heard of it here yet. Since all things British eventually find their
way into American pop culture (The Office, miniskirts, the Beatles, etc.) -
who knows what the future holds?
