Stolen Kite on Hatteras 10/6

Postby duckman » Fri Oct 07, 2016 12:05 pm

This is posted as a warning as well as of personal interest. On 10/06 about 12 noon at Isabel Inlet Parking lot and walkover , Frisco, Cape Hatteras, NC, my inflated kite that was sitting on the beach was deflated, rolled up, and stolen. The two people who committed this crime were a dark complected, shaved headed man about 6'2' 240 and a 5'4' woman about average size with brown/blonde hair. The kite is a 2013 9 meter blue Cabrinha Drifter, with a major repair from leading edge to trailing edge. The bar attached to it was a 2015 Crazy Fly, red and white. If you hear anything about it let me know..

Have you contacted all the shops in case they try to sell it? A 6'2", 240 lb, guy with a shaved head riding a 9m Drifter would definitely stand out. REAL is having a swap meet until the 16th so they might try to sell/swap it there.

Here are a few contacts if you do not have them. Others can add more.

THanks, I'm way ahead of you. Yes, it happened oceanside. They were seen by Dimitri rolling up the kite, he didnt realize what was happening, I saw them in the parking lot and on the beach previously. Go Fly a kite why don't you go get a life?
