Be Warned Stolen Goods

Be Warned Sprint 15 Stolen goods
The recent post on the Sprint class chat page about 2 x NEW Hyde Sprint 15 trampolines for sale on gumtree website highlights the danger of purchasing from a unknown source. These items were stolen from Windsport along with other items in the middle of the season. The police were informed and the person concerned arrested and provided the names of those who bought a number of the items.
These are stolen goods which if traced can be returned to the rightful owner Windsport. It would then be the responsibility of the online purchaser to recover their money from the seller if at all possible.
Class legal Hyde manufactured trampolines are made specifically for Windsport, along with other specialist Sprint 15 parts.
Take great care when buying online, whatever the sellers claims, especially if the item is a specialist part, Windsport does not want to see anyone out of pocket.
Remember “If it looks too good to be true, it probably is”!!

Thanks Brian, do you think it would of been a good idea to alert members that you had a been a victim of crime and potentially list items stolen so members are aware? Members are then aware and can look out for these items on your behalf.

Ditto Neil.
As the original poster with the link for the tramps,I must say it was given in good faith. Perhaps it played a part in catching the thief?
Pleased to hear the culprit has been caught.

Many thx to all, a sad affair indeed. The normal oulets for stolen goods of this type continue to be monitored and had been for some time leadng to the identification of the source.
Thankyou for your Sprint sailors support, if you come across anything Sprint 15/Dart 15 related that appears to be "to be to good to be true" a quick call to Windsport can normally confirm if it is genuine.
Thx to All
Brian
