Lost my White/Black/Blue F-one Trax 137cm today (5/3) at the Torrens Mouth.

If found please message me.

Thanks,
Ashley

Yep...that's my board someone else was trying to sell.

It turns out a fisho found it at sea and was stupid enough to advertise it online straight away....After the proposition was put to him that it wasn't his board a denial was put forward and well wishes were given for finding 'my board'.

His details were obtained from the online sale he was trying to conduct and off to his local police station I went. As I did not have any unique markings or identification on the board it was suggested by the police I may not be able to get it back, however after some persuasive police communication with the dude he buckled and fessed up to finding it, (this was after his wife initially told the police his mum bought it for him!). It was therefore arranged to attend his residence with two police officers present and get my board back.

A BIG thanks must go to kiteboardingschooladelaide.com.au (sorry, dunno how to hyperlink) for their excellent detective skills in locating and securing the boards whereabouts (if you hang up your harness, you'll certainly cut it as a detctive), and to Constable Chris Emmanuel from the Salisbury police station for his persuasive communication skills (soon to be nominated for policeman of the year).

LESSON LEARNT: Have a unique marking on the board then take a photo of it to show as evidence of ownership. If you don't the police cannot legally act upon it until the person selling your property actually owns up to finding it.

congrats.. on getting it back!

i was also part of the fishing FB page and the kiting FB page.. ive contacted the owner of the page in regards to the item. both owners are mates of mine. so they have stickied a post and will react accordingly in future if anything similar comes up!


A Tom from adelaide kite boarding school comes across as a top bloke!

i was just phoned by "police" in regards to the post above. one of which refused to identify in the course of the call.

apparently i am now part of the problem.

The police have a duty of protecting the guilty. we are going through that with a separate issue.
Sadly it is called 'the law' - nothing to do with 'justice'.

i have been threatened and called a " ****ing retard" in regards to this matter. by the " police" on the phone.



good work..
