Cat Burglar of La Paz

Both U.S. Coast Guard and Mexican Naval resources are searching for the Leopard 45 catamaran Tranquila, which was stolen from Marina Palmira around midnight last Wednesday.

Word around the docks is that a thief or thieves motored the boat out of the marina without nav lights, then returned a short time later to retrieve the boat’s dinghy and outboard, and headed out again. A cruiser in the marina is said to have recognized the thief as a worker on another boat in the marina. Local sources report that an American citizen named Leif William Lindstrom has been named a ‘person of interest’ in the case.

If you see this boat, which is white with a brown stripe, please contact U.S. and Mexican authorities or the marina, (011-52-612-123-7000 or toll free (1-877-217-1513).
