Retrieved A Craypot.. illegally????

 Make of it what you will and hang me in court.

 Found this adrift on the way in from FFB at the 1st stick on the way into peron ramp. On the way out it was not there, I only went out to check my own pot and coming in this bouy was in the channel. Well to me its a very well used bit of ocean. Watched it for a few minutes and was assured it was drifting. Pulled it and has about 15mtrs rope attached and the lower baton of a timber pot attached. The float has been smashed by a prop and I can vaguely make the numbers, hence i have not called fisheries yet. I can enlighten anyone who questions this as to why i haven't bothered. 

 

Anyway what i make out is , 1st letter is R, Then D P orB, followed by 085, and the last number is chopped off.  The floats and rope are distinct and would be easily recognised by owner so if you are the owner or know the owner PM me.
