I am posting this for Cliff and Gerry. For their contact info, PM me and I will send it.
30 June 2008
Fellow Kiters,
We are looking for your help.
On 12 June 2008 we checked an over size bag of kites with Northwest Airlines that did not leave the terminal. Our bag of kites and miscellaneous equipment were stolen before they left Seattle. We attended the FANO festival without kites. Bummer !!
The airline determined the bag did not leave Seattle. So, out there somewhere are our kites. The bag was a black, canvas transport case for golf equipment. We are assuming the thief thought they were stealing golf clubs.
We are asking you to be on the look out for our kites and three Sam Huston line winders. Please keep a watch out on EBay, in thrift stores and on flying fields. Our last name “Pennell” and a serial number appear on the back of the kites usually at the bottom somewhere on the edge. Many of the kites will have our small logo Eddy kite which is black or white with a small ribbon tail. This logo is located on the front of the kite in the lower right hand corner. All kites which are missing were handcrafted by us (no commercial kites).
Attached you will find pictures of the missing kites, line art, and three Penguin banners. If you see any of these items out there in the world, please contact us immediately. We are keeping our fingers crossed that somewhere they will show up.
We would like to thank you in advance for any help you can give us in recovering these stolen items.
Cliff & Gerry Pennell
Thanks
Rob

Rob,
Please tell Cliff and Gerry HELLO from Patrick And Tammy Gibble.....Sorry to hear about this tragedy!
For those of you who do not know the Pennell's ... They are GREAT people and make some beautiful kites. I'm sure they are heartbroken to lose some of their beautiful work!
Good luck Cliff and Gerry......
They will probably end up on Ebay or Craigslist......MAYBE someone will spot them flying on the beach in the Northwest!

The best view of the logo is on the blue woven hata below the banner picture the little black diamond kite on the border.

| Nice to see people care. A lot of reaction on all the forums and people watching on different continents. With any luck they will find the kites! |

ROB,
Do you know if anyone has posted a notice on the local Craigslist. Probably a good idea to post on Seattle and Portland sites....
Just a thought. Also, have the Pennell's thought about a "no questions asked" return or maybe a small reward?
Just a thought...or two.
