Having owned a fishing camp in northern NY I know the feeling of having a motor stolen. I would venture a bet that the thieves never set foot on land but instead came by water, pulled the motors while still in their own boat and left without distrurbing a soul. They row in and row out. This is done so quietly that even someone close by on an adjacent dock wouldn't necessarily hear a thing. The sinking of the boat comes from hanging over the transom while pulling the outboard. This can lower the transom enough to allow water to flow into the boat.
An isolated incident? Depending on the size of the waterway, it's doubtful.
