The feeling, for those who have had the misfortune to experience it, is very bad. You arrive at your depot, your warehouse, or in the clearing of your house in the country, where you have placed your boat for the winter months, and you find it without the outboard, or worse you can’t find it anymore. Stolen! A mix of anger and sadness. But as of today, for those whose marine engine or boat has been stolen, there is a tool that, if it does not serve to return the asset, at least prevents or limits its exploitation by thieves.
UCINA – Confindustria Nautica launches online database for stolen outboard motors and pleasure craft. Following reports received from numerous industry operators complaining about the theft of marine engines and pleasure craft from their warehouses, UCINA has activated an online database in which victims of theft can enter the identifying data of stolen goods to prevent or at least hinder their fencing. At the same time, the user who has doubts about the provenance of an engine or pleasure craft offered for sale can check whether it has been reported as stolen goods.
