Hi, Someone stole my flexi stack last night in Liverpool, England. The kites are four 6' stackers. 1 pink 1 yellow 1 black 1 yellow top pink bottom blue wingtips. Each kite is marked with my name (oakden) in green ink two places along the trailing edge hem, and on each of the white reinforcement panels where the O-rings and dacron tapes are attached. In addition, each bag is marked with my name both on the label and halfway down the bag. The thieves also took my lines ( #200 x 150ft sleeved in pink and #300 x 150 ft sleeved in green each set wound on a round yellow plastic reel), my handles (huge heavy duty Worlds Apart handles, one pink, one green with grey rubber hand grips and my ultraflex spar. The lines and handles are bundled in a dark blue KLM airlines wash bag, inside a distinctive briefcase type soft blue bag labelled NAN-93 ... 2nd biennial workshop on neucleon-anti-nucleon interactions, although I don't expect either of those bags to be still with the gear. I don't expect I'll ever see these kites again :(, but if anybody is offered these for sale, or sees them at a flying field, could you please contact Merseyside Police on (0151) 709 6010, asking for Wavertree Road station, either Constable 7714, or constable 1028 (or if they aren't there, anybody else!) I have a horrible feeling these will end up in a skip somewhere in Toxteth when the b*stards realise they aren't fishing gear. Please keep a look out for them! Cheers, Mark.
