The man said when he went to clean the boat, he observed the seat and carpet turning different colors and they were cracking. The man said he was unsure why this was happening. He said he believes someone may have sprayed some sort of acid spray on the seat and carpet of the boat. He said he asked the storage company to review camera footage to see if someone vandalized his boat. The man is unsure of a time line of when it could have happened. Staff at the storage company explained that it could take a while to locate someone getting onto his boat. The man said his boat has been uncovered since April.
