Subject: UK - Stolen Kites Alert


Kite Retailer Balloons n Things in Birmingham have had up to 40 kites
stolen this week-end and would like to alert kitefliers.
Items stolen include:-
Flexifoils - 4' and 6'
Parafoils
Brookite - top of the range (Olympus, Titon and others)
Included in the items stolen was the kite lines to go with them!

This does not seem to be a random break-in. Someone knew what to take,
leaving behind other cheap kites and lines.

Other (top of the range) kites stolen from shops have ended up at car
boot sales!

If you do hear of anything please contact either e-mail me or contact
Balloons n Things, Essex Street, Birmingham.  Tel:  0121 622 2331

Thanks
