been kiting at mullaloo beach this afternoon got back to the beach found that my kitebag had been stolen. i found it emptied out over the dunes , i guess they were looking for keys or a wallet . fortunately my car keys were in a lock safe in my bag . i've also found another kite bag with mine for a core 10m if you missing it contact me

just be careful where you place your bag !!!!!!!

all the best daz

thinks that's a top idea to be honest i'm certainly looking for a better set up now. but we really shouldn't have to do this. id love to meet the twat who stole it he wouldn't steal anything again in fact he wouldn't do anything again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happend to me twice, I think its stupid local kids, you usually find the bag dumped some where along the path once they figure its got nothing of value in it.

Actually, does anyone out there have some good practical ideas about security of keys/wallet/gear?

Must admit I'm starting to get the heebeejeebies now.

and as dazza has proclaimed I would hate to think ahat I'd do if I caught someone, rather avoid this situation at all costs.

because as you know, you'd be the one charged. Especially if they tripped over the bag they were trying to steal....(christ society and its laws are a mess, well done lawyers)

maybe we can get a plan of action and get some good out of this bad.

Like posting a picture after making them pose with a windsurfing boom in their hands? Something like that you mean?

Oooh Eppo, way to invite your red thumb buddies to the party... Maybe something like gaffa taping them naked to a light pole on West Coast Hwy with 'I'm a thief' spray painted on them in big Fluoro letters..?

What's a combo key lock? Thing is leave it unlocked they might steal the car. Then again they would break the window and do it anyhow.

Only joking on the wind surf gag, only joking.

heres an option if you catch one of them,???

Happened to me once as well a few years back, the the guys that are stealing the bags are absolute low life scum and it pisses me off.

However if people keep leaving phones, wallets, sunnies, car keys, camera's etc in their kite bags they will keep getting snatched.

Try to leave as little as possible (i.e. nothing but your pump) in your bags and they will get sick of it eventually.

How about, if someone catches these scum, we tie them to one the shark beacons or one of the buoys just off Pinnaroo to distract the sharks while we're out having a great time kiting?

Catch....break fingers....release...easy.

For Pinnaroo we just need two blokes, one hidden on the car park and the other one on the sand dunes watching the bags!

Lets catch these dogs and take them for a "walk" on the beach!

This crap is one of the reasons I left Brazil, it happens all the time and it would be really sad if here end up going into the same path!

Who is up to organize something?

Havnt you already got enough blokes in the dunes at Pinnaroo?

Extremely witty comment which really underlines your cosmopolitanism. That's full on racist, I hope you know that. Weak.

What are you on about ? It's common knowledge that Pinnaroo is hot spot for some, with not so mainstream tendencies. WTF has this got to do with racisim ? J

James and SugerQ will remember about 10 years ago the car park at Pinnas always had a few cars park up, with unusually well groomed young men in them, they were touting for business in the toilets there. While it did not go well with the image of a family beach, I always felt my car was safe parked next to them.
Then the police got involved (maybe they did not have council permits or insurance) Cops ran a couple of stings, even caught some of their own off duty.
Now the thieves have moved in, and the cops do nothing they just leave it to the ranger and he is more interested in raising revenue for the council in parking tickets.
I recon if we can catch one of these theiving bastards we tie him up, have a whip round and pay one several of the rent boys to have some bum fun with him.

oh s##t i forgot in this politically correct era that's destroying this country you cant call a spade a spade for fear of offending someone or something

The original poster implied that the Brazilian dude and his friends are thieves, that's not calling a spade a spade unless it ist scientifically proven that all Brazilians are thieves. Since this is not the case, the comment is full on racist. Sorry, no alternative interpretation possible.

Youre WEIRD ED!!!!!
