"lost and stolen kites"

collection of kites - 12 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, line art, and 3 Penquin Banners.   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).

 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.
