Men steal boats from Huizenga's property

FORT PIERCE — The three stolen boats might only be worth $300 apiece, but the person who owns the property they burglarized is worth $2.1 billion.
When Francisco Castillo learned he is accused of breaking through Miami Dolphins owner H. Wayne Huizenga's gate, he sounded shocked.
Port St. Lucie police tracked the men with a GPS device as they loaded the boats into a trailer and drove to Castillo's brake shop in Fort Pierce. Russell said when he arrived, the men were sanding and painting the stolen boats.
Nelson's criminal record includes aggravated child abuse, burglary, shoplifting and larceny, state records show. Castillo's previous charges include aggravated assault, fraud, larceny and drug possession.
Both men were arrested on charges of burglary and grand theft and were released Thursday from the St. Lucie County Jail. Huizenga could not be reached for comment.

its probably a miss-print.....i bet the boats are $300K ea.....or the GPS units were $300 each....i doubt a $300 boat would have a GPS tracking system on it unless there was a HUGE sentimental value for some odd reason....
