Reply to comment by rabidpirate in Stolen vehicle by rosey0926

I'm downvoted for trying to get the actual helpful info from the OP who didn't bother responding?

Guess they don't care if their car actually is found afterall. Fair enough. Carry on.

If it's stolen, what do you plan on getting done if the vehicle is found? The thief/thieves will be long gone if not caught by police. Going to sue the vehicle owner?

You'll probably get a disorderly charge for endangering others that help you.

One guy jumped off the boat I worked on "The Becky Thatcher" and didn't make it. I wasn't working the shift at that time but the CG ruled it a suicide. The Captain was quite distraught during the mornings briefing.

I know one guy that tried it from Harbor Park and was arrested and feature in the Middletown Press as an idiot.

One of my high school buddies jumped off the Camelot Boat and was arrested.

Depends where, I’d probably only do it if you are an accomplished swimmer and with a spotter in a boat. With a floatation device might also be wise.

I kayak in it all the time between Middletown and the Sound. The river itself has a strong current that can be unpredictable and is also effected by the tides.

Lots of boat traffic, floating debris and last summer dead catfish.

If you go up to northern Vermont it’s pretty beautiful and clean.

Legal, yes. Safe, absolutly not. It's known for having brutal undertow, strong current, and submerged dead fall. Many have drowned in the river. I won't kayak it with waders because it would be over for me if I went in, even with a PFD. Frankly I wouldn't want to even let that water touch my body. It's nasty.
