RedactedNarrative: On 08/06/2023 at approximately 0005 hours, i received a call for service advising of an unidentified pontoon boat that struck a docked vessel in front of the pirates den bar. While en route to this location, i received information of a second caller from the ca side of the river, who advised that they witnessed the same thing. But that now the vessel that was docked, was now floating down the river.
  
  I responded to the area of the dock and observed 2 broken ropes tied off to the dock cleats, fresh water that had been splashed onto the dock, and minor damage to the dock consistent with somebody striking it. I  returned to the boating safety center and launched my department vessel to attempt to locate the suspect vessel, or the vessel floating down the river.
  
  I was unable to locate any boats being operated or underway. After further inspection, i was able to locate the damaged vessel that was floating down river. I tied off to this vessel and towed it back to the boating safety center where i secured it to our dock.
  
  The registered owner of the vessel later contacted central dispatch around 1100 hours wishing to report his vessel stolen. He was informed of what had occurred last night and that he could pick his vessel up from deputies at his leisure.
  
  The only information i have regarding the suspect vessel was that it was a white pontoon boat with blue led lights going down both sides of the vessel.
