Hi.

Had my van broken into and a lot of stuff ripped.

Inc. Cab custom board - 136 - new model

Mark Richards Fish with red and yellow flame type pattern in o&e bag with ALL my fins - some future with red spray paint.

2 mals - timber look, cant miss them all waxed up light brown with dark strip at top - three stringer

large dark wood - looks like a log - with lighter centre - all good condition

they left my old banana peels.
took heaps of random ****, invoice book water sleeping bag etc..

$100 for each board no questions asked

Sorry to hear about that. I hope you get the gear back. Did it happen during the day or overnight? Was there much damage to the van from the break-in?

those b@stards. cause they're not easy to carry, i thought boards would not be high on a thief's shopping list, but not so huh. yours are very distinctive and will be very easy to spot - suggest you ring up the local pawn shops and let them know what's happened, get em suspicious if anyone drops by with sailboarding equipment. hope you get them back dude.

this is a reminder for me to get the serials and pictures of my own stuff, just in case the worse happens.

Bummer.... hope you get some of it back...
Somtimes I think it would just be better if they would knock on your door and ask for $200 to not steel anything. It would be cheeper and easier for everyone

Is the VITO what they broke into? How did they do it?
I have the same model.

There is nothing worse than the feeling you get when your stuff has been stolen . i am very sorry for your loss.13yrs ago my house was robbed & 5 yrs ago i actually found out who it was the police werent interested as they classed me being told as hearsay & as it was not classed as proof would do nothing so exactly the same as what they did in the first place. i hope u have good luck and get your stuff back & i hope the miserable thieving bastards get whats coming to them
