Flysurfer Speed2 10m stolen

DenisLaMenace - 27-10-2007 at 08:29 AM

Hi guys

Since I was selling my Pulse10m, I got a amazing deal on a Speed2 10m (not much used) from this guy in New York.

Domdino even though getting it. I bought this kite for 850$. Yes only 850$ plus shipping. Apparently the guy needed rush money for traveling.

Anyway, jonny shipped me the kite last friday and got at the local post office yesterday at the little mall near my house.

I go there this morning to pick my new baby, and the post office owner tells me he was rubbered during the night.

They open my box and took the kite. Now I am left with a claim with the post office and no Speed2 10m.

He velives young guys doing the robbery. I posted on the local forum here to advise people watching out for my kite.

I am just sad :(:(:(:(:( please end me some cheers

How am I gonna get another deal like this. I am sure the post office will reimburse me for what I paid for, but getting another one may cost $$$

Holy crap! That is crazy. The post office got robbed.
Good luck! Keep an eye on ebay as well.

NO WAY!!!!!!!
Oh my god that's crazy! Awww that sucks so much as well no speed II!!! I'm so sorry dude, maybe their insurance'll give you the money for the cost of a new one though ;)

These are pretty rare kites and the kite community is smallish, if it shows up, someone in our world will know!

Oh see if you can get the serial number of the kite from Jon?

good idea dom !!

email sent to Jon

and maybe I get your P3 10 now, but I need to wait what insurance will do.

I am so sad today, no wind, it's raining a lot, and all I think of is this bad luck

Sorry to hear about that Buzz! It will probably show up for sale on ebay soon.

How much was it insured for??

thanks Joe

if it shows up on ebay, or on the local forum, or the local classified website, the guy is stucked. I talked with the police officer who did the report for the post office, and they will contact potential seller if I find the same for sale locally.

Not many Flusurfer kiters here. Really not many, and even less guys who have a Speed2 10m.

And I am sure local police will help, as I have a friend working as one of their investigator.

I just wish we catch the guy.

As for the insurance, the post office counter is located in a little magazine/cigar shop. Have talked with the owner, and his insurance (or mine) will reimburse.
