The club has reported a number of incidents to the police including two break-ins through the toilets (padlocks destroyed), one attempted break-in through a side window (removal and damage to security grill), damage to the exterior meter box and the defacing of walls with graffiti.

A spokesperson for the club Ian Read said the most disturbing act of all happened last week when a member went sailing.

"He returned to find his car had been broken into (smashed side window) and all his personal valuables, including his expensive custom made hearing aids had been stolen," he said .

Members of the Queens Lake Sailing Club want to warn others to be vigilant of their personal property in the area.

"We want to warn other unsuspecting individuals," Mr Read said.
