If you have the serial numbers of the gear taken, i've herd that quite often the people who steal windsurfing gear, don't actually windsurf, and they have come up on the market either privately or through shops a while after.
I would keep your eye out everywhere.

Had my gear stolen about 15 years ago and got it back through the Trading Post 3 months latter.Keep an eye on that and Ebay to see what pops up. Local Cash converters as move a lot of sail gear.Try Williams Town,s one first.Hope this helps

My girlfriend saw three guys putting it into their car but didn't realise it was mine!!!

That sucks.
I had my locks done at crystals a while back. These guys must be regular windsurfer equipment stealers.
The only way we can combat this is for everyone to always be suspicious when buying 'cheap windsurfing' equipment.
Because the kit invariably belong to some poor soul like Windy
I'm gonna etch all my kit.

you gotta wonder at some of the item descriptions you see listed on e-bay. it's bloomin obvious some people selling windsurfing stuff have never windsurfed in their lives.
