Country Name: St. Lucia
Location Detail: Marigot
EVENT: Burglary
HAND: 1
Stolen Items: all cell phones and chargers onboard.
SECURED: Not Locked
DETAILS: While ashore in the evening, a yacht on an outside mooring was entered, and thoroughly ransacked. All doors and hatches were closed, but a guest failed to properly engage a lock on one cabin hatch, which the thief discovered and used for entry/exit. The vendor who rented the mooring had warned the crew of the problems in this bay and suggested taking all cash/passports/valuables with them to dinner. The phones and chargers left behind were taken. Nearby boats were occupied, but not aware of the boarding/burglary.
