It’s always good to be able to post some good news, and we’ve just heard from the owners of the stolen van and kit that not only has the van been found, but all the kit was still in it!

OK, the thieves took their radio, credit cards, coat, cash and a decent watch, but it’s still a result.

Please can I inform you of the theft of a Mercedes Sprinter 313 van stolen at 4.10pm on Saturday 23rd of October from the beach car park at Coney Island Porthcawl, South Wales. It stands out because it has a K-BAY sticker above the windscreen and on front/side wings and has a tall CB ariel and little orange lights on the roof. It is an X Registered van but is unique because it has a newer model front end due to recent smash. Apart from it being my only means of transport for my small business it also had all my windurfing kit in it, most of which I have listed below. if there is anyway you could print a notice in the next issue I would be more than grateful.
