Theft at Sherman Is.

Post by Don Lester » Wed Mar 09, 2016 11:14 am

I was at Sherman a couple of weeks ago. The day started on very sour note. Left my new “ Lift “ foilboard on the beach. While going to the bathroom back at the parking lot, three young teenagers grab it and drove away with it. I quickly told Indian Bob “ shit, three kids just took my foil board “. I new it was them because they and I were the only ones around.
So I went back to look around to see if they hid it in the bushes and unknown to me Bob jumped in his truck and chased them down the levy and convinced them to give back the board.

Wow did he make my day or what !

WTF. Glad to hear you got it back!

Maybe Bob knows how to be more diplomatic than some of us would in that situation? Did he tell you what he said?

That you got your foil back. I had a similar experience at Marina Bay. Set my board at the water's edge. Went back to the grass to launch my kite, then walked to the water with my kite airborne and was like where the hell is my board? Two kids had walked off with it, but lucky for me, returned it after they realized I was the owner.
