Other wise that means we have some really ****ty people out on the lake with us! To do this intentionally not only, means you're a real piece of whale S--t!! They could have put people and vessels at great risk!
As for not noticing the anchors were disconnected until departure, the three boats were tied together. The first boat set his anchors (bow and stern) and the other two boats were tied up to the first and put their bow anchors out as a safety factor.

While I find it very hard to believe someone could snorkel down, and bring 2 sets of vice grips, one to hold the shackle and the other to unscrew the pin which can sometime be tough to unscrew, and then do it again all without anyone noticing the diver coming up and going down or the lines going slack.
Seems unlikely, but maybe some kid with really good lungs and who has nothing better to do than wreak havoc on boaters might be able to pull it off.
Dont see how that would be worth it to the kid, but its possible, i guess,,
As for some crusty old guy doing it, just doesnt seem possible, not without full scuba gear.
Still very odd losing 2 at once.
Sorry, I'm sure that this is frustrating and not at all how anyone wants to end a day on the lake.
