Presume it was stripped,scuttled and set adrift while still afloat?
Can't be the easiest thing to strip quickly and remove the stolen items.

You and I clearly have a very different idea of what a newsworthy item is for a forum like this.

Four stroke, old style reliable diesels, keep 'em oiled and fueled and they run forever.

So why the hell did you open a thread to tell everyone you aren't interested, you absolute weirdo.

It's a relatively interesting and unusual story and has been reported by various news outlets.

I posted it in the Lounge, a mod - presumably- moved it to NPE.

If you are not interested, you could always ignore it. Even I would agree that it isn't earth shattering news.
