THIEF CAUGHT ON CAMERA! Narrowboat Burglar Chased NAKED Along the Towpath! - Ep. 82

We encounter a thief caught on camera breaking into our narrowboat! Our CCTV catches him as he tries nicking my bike before he gets chased by Colin in his pants along the towpath into the night! 😂 Welcome to Britain by Narrowboat!
Before the excitement of getting our thief caught on CCTV and Colin chasing burglars in his pants, we leave our mooring on the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal and head towards Barbridge Junction and the Shropshire Union Main Line, turning left towards Nantwich.
We pass Hurleston Junction and check out the work to rebuild Hurlseton Lock 4, the bottom lock on the entrance to the Llangollen Canal. We catch up with Phil from ‪@NarrowboatJourneys‬ before mooring up in Nantwich.
Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

My counsellor suggested your vlog and suggested I might want to explore living on a narrow boat, to help me cope with my own personal mental health issues (BPD), I am so glad she did. Absolutely hooked on your channel now.

[@om617yota8]

You're nicer than I, Colin. I've been destitute myself, thievery never crossed my mind. Had he knocked on your door at a reasonable hour and politely asked if he could clean your windows and polish your paintwork and take your rubbish to the bin in exchange for a gift for his child, would you have helped him? Almost certainly. If you hadn't, someone in the next ten boats would have. No excuse for thievery. Great work, gents. Hopefully that was the glitch for the upcoming year, out of the way and smooth sailing from here on out.

[@FoxesAfloat]

I definitely would have helped him 💜 Happy New Year! 🥳

[@kimcarr8382]

Commenting from the US for the first time. Enjoying your vlog. Hubby and I live in a camper with our 2 little dogs and our cat. Our space is similar in size to yours so I'm feeling a of kinship with you. We are retired and enjoying ourselves a great deal. Sail on and stay safe!

I lost my job with the electrical union here due to the coronavirus pandemic and it causing me to miss so classworks and jobs along the way while my house was being condemned. I spent for long hard years putting effort into this future career just to lose it all over a 100-year pandemic and the union not having any sympathy for me I was very upset and depressed I do not know what to do. But your videos have been helping me stay happy and realize you can get through life no matter what

[@improvesheffield4824]

Glad everyone is ok. It's a real boon having Dillon with you (or any dog for that matter). If burglars know there's a dog in a property they will tend to give it a wide berth. All the very best for the new year and I hope you all have many happy hours cruising the nation's canals.

Think I recognised the uninvited late caller, he is known locally as Robin (Robbin B.stard). Leave an old bike which can be easily taken, hopefully greed means the 'Robbin B' will take what is available and go. However make sure the brake blocks are unfastened on the bike. As a speedy get away is made, the faster the better, the first sharp bend should do the trick. All they will need for Christmas is their new front teeth. When you hear the ambulance siren, you know it's time to go and reclaim the bike, or what's left of it.

[@om617yota8]

Hey just thought of something else. We have a local community FB group around here. Alarmingly frequently there are "Do you know this person?" type photos posted of people stealing things. Also quite frequently, someone knows the thief and can help track them down and arrests have been made because of this. Sometimes the responses are amusing. "That's my boy! I wondered where he got those shoes! I'll get you your stuff back and blister his backside so bad his grandkids will have trouble sitting!" As your attempted thief damaged nothing and got away with nothing, there's not much in the way of a crime to charge them with(at least here), but it might be worth posting the video on local FB groups for some local censure and entertainment.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks, but he won't be bothering canal users again 😉 Happy New Year to you! 🥳

These guys have a beautiful narrow boat . It seems that these guys are happy doing the waterways of Great Britton . I like the episode where they added up their yearly expenditures . About £12,000 a year .

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thank you!

[@andrewschmitz9707]

Glad you ok. Nice trunk boxers BOYS!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha! 😂

What a fabulous vlog today! The morning shots were so vivid -you could win an Oscar award for canal video of 2019. Quick commentary, Dillon happy wagging dog bum just brings joy to my heart, but then you close with two rakish bums running after an intruder - well, I'm still laughing. Not at someone breaking in, but let's face it - great scene from the canal side.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha! It's lucky I had my boxers on. I usually sleep naked and that video would have required a lot of editing had it been a normal night 😛 Happy New Year! 🥳

[@13699111]

Thank you for posting this video. Hate a theif period !!!

The Mrs thinks Colin is too nice to do anything if he'd caught the tea leaf. I did relay the story about the drunk in Leeds which she said "oh yeah I can believe Shaun would do that" 😆

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha! But Shaun can't run 😂

I'm new to your channel and have subbed, if I'm having one of my bad days I now know where to come for a good old cheer up.... ty xx

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks for subbing! Welcome! 👍🏻

Loved this one, very nostalgic for me as we had a narrow boat at Venetian Marina many years ago. Would love another boat to live on but other half less keen. Keep up the good work lads

[@FoxesAfloat]

Yeah, gotta both want to do it. Hope you manage to one day 👍🏻

[@christophergraham8324]

Glad you're both ok. Please keep making these vlogs, me and my other half love them. And one day, I might even step on board a narrow boat. Have a wonderful new year.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Thanks, Christopher 👍🏻 No plans to stop, yet 😉 Happy New Year! 🥳

The would be thief must had walk passed Silver Fox during the day time, eyeing things that is of value & can be sold off easily.

Sorry I was late but the traffic was bumper to bumper all the way here then on the towpath I tripped over a cat and nearly fell in the canal. My Uncle taught me to fish when I was around 10 years old (41 yrs ago shhh) and it was on the Grand Union Canal in Aylesbury where I was born and it gave me a love of canal's and narrowboats which I have had ever since. My Christmas was lovely, we had my lovely Mother in law over for Christmas day, she is an absolute treasure. then a very quiet Boxing day 😉😊. I wish you both a happy and safe new year and I will definitely see you in 2020. 💜💝🙏🏻🥂 xx

[@FoxesAfloat]

Fantastic! (Not the bit about you almost falling in) 😂 Happy New Year! 🥳

[@1of2shoes]

I so enjoy your vlogs. The countryside is absolutely gorgeous.

[@FoxesAfloat]

It really is!

[@fulcrumspigot455]

Lovely video again lads. Cheered me up on a bad day. Thanks, Chris. x

[@FoxesAfloat]

Sorry you had a bad day mate. xxxx

[@VoklstWestie]

Another Bellisemo video! Well shot! Great weather, when the sun was shining! Good music intertwined into your vid! I'd run after that guy and shout profanities in my underware too! 'Course I usually carry a baseball bat next to my bed for easy access! But salt lamps (very heavy) art glass, old antique irons & hammers work well too! Chicago Renee luvs your vids!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Haha! I want a antique iron hammer for next time 😏 Happy New Year to you! 🥳

[@douglasfrank9323]

I understand you're being conflicted Colin but there really is no excuse for stealing. Glad no ill came of it. Best wishes for a wonderful new year.

Top notch camera work and editing. Glad the burgler got chased off....looks like your security is about is good as it can be, after all.

[@FoxesAfloat]

Dillon and Colin. All we need 👊🏻😂

[@Pixietoria]

I doubt he was a “polite” burglar. More likely just trying to not look like a thief from the towpath. ;) I hate that feeling when someone climbs on the boat uninvited. I instantly turn into the angriest woman on earth and have seen grown men run away in fear at my war cries. It’s scary what adrenaline makes you do when someone attacks your castle ;) Stay safe!

[@FoxesAfloat]

Hehe! Yes, I get the anger thing. People told me I shouldn't have chased him. I'd do the same thing every time! xx

[@Pixietoria]

Foxes Afloat That’s the thing isn’t it. Adrenaline doesn’t really give you a choice. 😬 Tbh though. I think a lot of the time burglars aren’t expecting people to be on board at all and just the mere presence of someone coming out will make THEIR adrenaline kick in and try to escape. At least there’s two of you aboard for back up. :)
