The theft of a 13 foot pink canoe has led a Port St Mary man to take matters into his own hands.
Paul Dunn has put posters up around the village and is offering a reward to find those who took the canoe, belonging to his children, earlier this month.
He has lived in the Isle of Man for 27 years, attracted primarily by the low crime rate compared with native Bolton.
Mr Dunn has had a number of items stolen over the past couple of years including a drill worth around ?400.
He is determined to find those responsible for the latest crime.
