bad luck mate but you think people would learn not to leave gear in their cars by now
Gee Lach, you've had a bad time re stolen cars, stolen gear. We'll keep a lookout for you. Do you/Chris have the serial #'s of the Griffins, u could post them up for all to see.
That's a real downer, but we had a top day served up for us yesterday ah. I can lend u gear if you're stuck.
best of luck getting it back
cheers
Col
Lach, I remember looking at your Grand Vitara in the carpark yesterday as you went out and thinking how good it was that you got it back last time it was ripped off.
F#@king thieving bastards!!!!![}:)]
Piss me right off.
Is that the board you took out yesterday? I'll know that if I see it.
Let's find these pr!cks
Gee lach, you have had more kites stolen than I have had broken right ankles 
We can only hope the barsteds use them locally and we catch them
Check out your car insurance company. You can get cover with the NRMA up to about $10000 for items stolen from your vehicle. I've claimed a couple of kites and board that were stolen last year. Excess is only $100.
Piss me right off.
Bummer mate hope you catch the ba****ds, that escape should stick out like a sore thumb so you might get lucky.
I almost forgot to mention .i caught up with Gordo today and he was saying that there have been cars stolen from Dikko over the last few months .(surfers hiding keys and then cars just driven off .He saw a guy last week watchin the car park .Very suss ,called the cops .I saw a guy a couple of maonths back cuffed by the cops and carted off.

You've got to be kidding! It was heaps bigger than 3'
And I don't know what's going on but suddenly everyone's kiting my break?
Nobby's is certainly kiteable in a southerly. If it's out of control at Merewether then Nobbies is worth a try. If it's way East Nobbies can still be great, right up at Northn end, or try Stockton or Blacksmiths. Think we're rather off topic here.
BTW You missed a top arvo today Lach. & I'm impressed by your attitude. The offer stands. 13m Octane, 10m Rally & any number of boards.
Ric, that's funny, and yeah, we do feel for you. You've kept smilin throughout a tough time.
I think I'm still a bit euphoric, but wow, I do luv this kiting
thanks again Col .I'm gonna set up my cardboard with a tri fin at one end (it wasn't in the car I did this on an UG a few years ago ) and dust off some surfboards board wise . Don't you use that rally most of the time?
this is one of the things that gives me solace .
ta again

Lach, i have a 11m REV you can leave in your car as bait......
easy to spot as it is ripped in half, kinda flys funny.
Hey everyone some great news .Firstly i would like to thanks everyone for their support and particularly Cols kind offer and call and also Chris from Griffins kind offer to replace the kites at an awesome price and Craig's kind offer too (does it come with a tiger snake) .I really appreciate it and am so glad to be involved in a sport with such a great group of people sharing the stoke .
I called the NRMA my insurer to make the claim on the window that was smashed. The girl told me that there was $500 coverage for items damaged in the car in an accident but not for stolen items but that the window replacement was covered .then she asked if the car was parked at home which is was and she said" well thats good because you can claim it on your home contents insurance (with a small excess fee ) because it was within the perimeter of your home ".,yes yes yes .i love the girl at the other end of the phone and would kiss her if i could .i thought that this was a gonner .i am sooooo stoked ,relieved and grateful.
So lets till keep an eye out for those kites so that the mongrels can be nabbbed and don't be a goose like me and leave stuff in the car and also don't put your car keys in a hidey spot at the beach because there is a good chance that there is some theiving mongrel watching who will get them and make off with your car
hey lach thats bad luck. hope you get your gear back i know what your kites look like so will keep an eye out for you. shall i give em a board to the face if i see the theif
I have a horrible feeling that they stole bob holden as well ,who has been missing since the theft
That is **** Lach. I will keep an eye out for all your gear. I think we better look into setting up some razor wire & a full time security guard around that car of yours.
Or could it be Bob, his cranky old neighbour, who just happens to have gone up north for a few weeks to learn to kitesurf on his new kites & mutant board.
