You know, stealing a dinghy might seem like a great crime, but I don't think that's what Balzac had in mind.

The CEOs come and go, and you don't even realize anything is missing.

Dinghies do go missing here, but in almost all cases it is a failure of the painter not a thief. Lift your dinghy to be safe, or use two painters.

There’s a special place in cruiser hell for people who insist on locking their dinghy at the Exumas market dinghy dock in Georgetown.
