SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- San Diego Police need help finding a man accused of burglarizing a boat and leaving behind a meth pipe and his own feces. 

The owner of the boat, Donnie Vachon, is still trying to pick up the pieces since it happened. He's out thousands of dollars due to damage and stolen property.

"Put it in perspective, it's just a boat, but it's our boat, it's our family's boat, it's my grand-babies boat," said Vachon.

The theft happened in September and since then Vachon has heard of two more boat burglaries.

He says the same off-brand soda can was left on both his boat and one of the others burglarized.

"It's kind of a heartbreaker, you wake up and go to work every day and here it sits," said Vachon, looking at the boat parked in the driveway.

Detectives have not yet confirmed whether the burglaries are connected but are looking into it.

If you have any information, contact Crime Stoppers. Tipsters can remain anonymous and will be rewarded if their information leads to an arrest.
