johnnmitchell Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Just an update. Connor and I walked for 2 hours along the canal roads looking in ditches to no avail. The longer this goes, the more I am thinking we may not see them again. Or perhaps they will show up elsewhere... out of this area. A continued ty to everyone for keeping your eyes open for them. hugs mousie Mousie, AJSKA(All Japan Sport Kite Association) also has notice of your stolen kites on there web site at: http://www.ajska.gr.jp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraserx Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 What a nightmare Amy. I've just bought a couple more kites and a Rev bag and when I'd transferred everything into my shiny new bag, suddenly realised how much that innocuous bundle was worth and nearly wet my pants! Four kites plus bag - admittedly at our ridiculous UK prices - nearly £1000 (that's TWO GRAND to you transatlantic types)!!! Given that you had something like five times the number - even ignoring their one-off and personalised nature - it's a MAJOR loss. I hope you've tried your car insurer and your home insurer (though you may have to be inventive and tell each about different kites - I can't see either policy picking up the whole tab. There's a lesson here people - NEVER leave yer stuff in the car. There's just so much pond-life out there. On a more helpful note (I hope) - I'm no expert, but isn't it possible to put watch words and key words into Ebay, which would flag up any new 'Revolution', or 'coloured design kite' type listings? If we all do it - you just never know. Fraser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepigeon Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Dear Amy We're so sorry to hear of your loss.

Steve and Sherri Pigeon Lovers of Revs Owners of Kitesville USA AKA Members Kitesville USA 1-800-445-6902 I am so so glad that you have the Scarlette Red. At least I know someone is enjoying her... Thank you for all your help. ****May it be noted to all: Steve and Sherry purchased that Scarlette Red through Revolution. The Prototype looks just like it except that it has a hibiscus flower on it whereas Sherry's does not. I just want to make certain there is no confusion. ****. I am truly thankful that the three Scarlettes sold through Rev are out there and safe.... Keep em in the air. They can take my kites, but they can't take my wings..... mousie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, nothing in the UK part (just went through all 28pages of "'kite' in all sections" ). Hardly likely to be trying to sell any of it here, but ya never know, do ya?

Stone in Shoe Bob Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I've been giving this some thought and it has just occurred to me that maybe we are missing a trick here. With all the publicity we have made sure that these kites are now too hot to handle almost anywhere in the world (there can't be a serious Rev flier on the planet that doesn't know it) but the question we have to ask is, does the toe rag that nicked them, I think he needs to be made aware that they are going to be very difficult to off load and that any one who can appreciate their true value is also going to know they will never be able to fly them, at least not in public.

Oh I wasn't helping - I just fancy a bargain! Good point Bob, and indeed in the flyer I have been passing out it does say that these kites are of very little value to anyone except myself. The radio station here has done a story on them also, so there will be people that do not fly at least aware they may run into them.. I wish I didn't feel that the longer they are gone.... the less chance we have of recovering them, but..... Fraser.... If you get a good deal, then you have to give me one too.. K? hugs... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerochic Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I wish I didn't feel that the longer they are gone.... the less chance we have of recovering them, but..... Try not to feel that way. The person responsible is probably s****ing themselves wondering what to do since there is so much exposure and word out there.
