we shuold like leave some gear somewhere that people will try to steal it, and like keep a camera on it or watch it from a distance, once you see them, confront them.

Double post:

Forgot to mention, everyone keep an eye out online for these kites. Even if they're from a different region you still need to be weary. Any of these kites on ikitesurf as of recently, Email and ask some questions. Ask what the serial # is on it, and see how they match up.

Email the companies you bought them from with the serial numbers.

Chris,
Let me know if you need help installing the lights. Be happy to do it for you as a favor. I only accept money from my boss for electrical work. It's a character flaw!

That really sucks Chris! I'm really sorry to hear about your 'loss'... You are more than welcome to use ANY of my gear. You have helped me out A LOT and I'll do whatever it takes to help you out at a time like this, just say the word.

On another note, I just want to say that I think you handled the situation as good as anyone could in your situation, not much more could be done to prevent more incidents going forward and even though I am in a relatively safe neighborhood as well, I am thinking of possibly getting some cameras for my place too.

It is just a shame that such a nice guy had to suffer from some lazy bastard(s) who were too lazy to go out and work for a few bucks to buy themselves what they need in an honest manner. It takes a real weak person to steal when they are very capable of going out and earning an honest living...

I'VE HAD IT WITH THESE LOSERS, AND THEY WILL PAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER...WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND...

Chris, give me a call, I'd like to help you out with some gear...

Chris.. don't let him sell ya' the 11m for more than a hundred :wink: (LMAO)

Here is some good news. My insurance called and said they would cover my kites. I talk to Darryl at Extreme Kites and he is giving me a nice deal on the new ION. I will get the 15 for now and see how I like it before I replace my high end kite.

NICE Chris!! Awesome news.

Now let's hope those guys get nailed and pay for their crimes. That'd be the best ending this unfortunate tale could have.

Yeah, that's GREAT news Chris, glad you are getting your kites back...what about your harness? I hope those bastards rot in jail!!!

Hey, by the way Scott, I heard you were in the market for a kite. Wanna buy a BEAUTIFUL 11M kite for ONLY $500.00??? :lol: :lol: :P :P

:shock: :P

Speak of the Ion, Chris, I just got the stock bar for the Ion today and it is nice. I am not sure what you are going to use to fly the Ion but this bar strikes me as being a winner. I'll let you know after I actually get to use it.
