I so agree, Rick. Most of the "piracy" sites list every theft as an
act of piracy. To me, someone just stealing our dinghy and/or
outboard is not an act of piracy; it is simply a theft. An armed
person forcibly boarding our boat even if he just wants to steal
something would be piracy, IMHO. The piracy reporting websites are
more helpful when all pertinent information is provided about each
incident. That enables us to decipher which incidents are truly
piracy and which are simple theft of unattended and unsecured items.
