Last night as I was falling asleep, my doorbell rang.
State police lady was at my door. Imagine the thoughts that went through my mind with two kids away at college..
Anyway, she asked if I was the owner of a 32 foot Searay. Ummm, yes. Miami Dade police had called about my boat, and wanted me to call the detective immediately. She asked if my boat was in miami...nope, I've owned it since 2007 and it's shrink wrapped until April, in CT.
So, I called, told the detective why, who mentioned a problem with "boat cloning " in Miami which I assume is insurance or sales fraud. He asked if my boat was named 5 o'clock somewhere, I said yes, and then he said we are sorry to bother you and you're all set. That was it!
Can anyone tell me what happened? Why did the state police have to come out? Couldn't they just call me? I'm registered by the way. Any thoughts??
