And how can there be pirates in a lake? I thought the whole thing about being a pirate was that you steal and kill where there is no law enforcement and a really big area to escape and hide (the ocean). How does a person or group consistently kill and rob in an area that is small enough to be patrolled. Maybe I'm not aware of the size of this lake, but can these folks kill, rob, and then sail their boat around in an area that's large enough to hide from law enforcement? You would think that they would have to dock their boat and re-begin fresh each day.

Can there be lake pirates?

I don't know what a Jet Ski costs, but I'm guessing $4,000 or so. Seems like a stolen one might be worth a few hundred.
