This is from a two day old article, but I didn't see it posted anywhere on FR.

What is a little unsettling about this, is that the stolen items are very powerful speed-type boats (click on link to see a photo of one of them).

I recall reading something, a few years ago, about terrorists having a plan to launch an attack on one or more of our major ports using this type of boat.

Maybe this is nothing, but just thought I'd post it FYI.

A $1 boat?

Seriously, I don’t know how you can ‘steal’ a $1mm yacht. What, people won’t see it?

Someone is planning on sinking a lot of guns.

Or, could they be planning to use it to attack General Atomics in Torrey Pines ..?? I’ve been wondering this type of attack every since I heard they had named General Atomics. It sits upon a high cliff right at the ocean. You might be able to use a SAM or similar weapon to cause a lot of damage to the structures.

However, just east of there is Miramar (Marine Air Station) .. FA-18’s - and they could sink any boat who might be off-shore shooting at us.

A company in Torrey Pines has been named as a target of ISIS. You can reach their building on one side - by the ocean.

I presume the Coast Guard will be hot after this one.

Not sure what type of a storage yard but it seems strange that there wouldn’t be
some kind of camera facilities in use with this type equipment being stored.
