Cooler. Grey clouds and the odd shower. Sunny spells. Traffic busier. Trucker went downhill loaded early, as did Noedo mid morning, and shortly after that the first hotel boat we’d seen on the Loing went up, Fleur – a Dutch boat from Zwijndrecht. Several cruisers went up and down later. I did some more washing and did the chores while Mike took Nick with him into Nemours as he wanted to get some wood from the Brico and Mike bought some pipe to replace the water cooling pipe that had started to leak where it had rubbed against the swim. When he came back he told me someone had been in the car and had stolen his small toolbox, the small ice box, his specs (not sunglasses), a large torch and the round tin out of the glove box which had change for parking, etc. They hadn’t taken the jump leads, first aid kit, safety warning triangles or reflective jackets, nor my map light. Strange? They must have had keys as the got in through the back without breaking anything. I walked back to the car with him to check if anything else had gone. After lunch when Mike had calmed down, his nerves were all over the place after finding the car in such a mess, he went back to Nemours to Roady to replace the tools that had been stolen and spent over 60€. This is the first ever experience of thieving in France in all the time we've been here (now our 18th year of cruising sur Le Continent). Sad day.
