Hi crew, purchased from NSW is this great Windtech Cruise Missile - highjacked by a courier enroute to Perth, Western Australia.

Reward of $250 is offered for locating this board.
serial # 0095

purchased off this site from Kincumber in NSW. Seller is legit. Couriers were Load Shift via Mental Towing - who could not get the job done then as ai changed courier to Pack & Send Gosford - the board was mysteriously highjacked by an unknown courier & has not been seen since.

Bummer. I hope you find it. They aren't very common so if they try and sell it it will be obvious.

Sorry to read this and really hope it turns up or the freight company pays you out.

I have an almost new one here in Perth you can have at a very reasonable price if you've still got your heart set on one

This sounds like mental or pack n send owe you a new board
Either as the former gave the job away, or as the latter allowed it to be taken by persons unknown

Regardless of the job, somebody who has your stuff for any reason must take due care of it

I could tell you some stories of complete bumbling incompetence, where I wondered if a dog has more intelligence than their staff. Hopefully it is found in some warehouse somewhere, and a low paid staff member takes the initiative and contacts you. The Swift and Shift TV series is a handbook for some.

BTW worth mentioning too - I have modified one so if you see one that is shorter and no serial - don't go pick a fight with the owner Fangy.

Thanks for all the comments & feedback. I have pressured Load Shift to cooperate in filing a police report in the state of NSW.

G'day Azymuth,

The CM #95 is well & truly stolen. Spoke to Neil yesterday at Pelican Pt. He told me who u you ou were.

I bought 4 other boards since my CM was stolen. A Mistral Slalom which is not for me, an F2 Ride $50 - an RRDZRide 135 litre $50 & a BIC T293 - quite a fun board.

The 129 litre CM was never a perfect board for me ol mate down at Pelican reckons but in passing - how much do you want for yours?

I suddenly have 5 boards in the carport again - 4 of which are pretty useless at the moment I foolishly sold a 299 AHD which I can buy back again.

Big issue I have at the moment is 25kg of weight I am carrying from doing FIFO. There's no water out there to burn the magnificent food & 2 beers a day off. Hence the 205 litre T293 is a good gig in light winds.

If you want to relay a price through Neil that's okay.

cheers

Comical . my board was outright theft. The driver calculated the theft by rolling up at the sellers house without phoning first.

So how would they get the address and date? This can only come from the authorised party I guess. Have you tried to make them liable for your losses? Even if there wasn't any insurance, this sounds like malpractice and might qualify for a compensation.
