Stolen Surf Board
Someone stole a red longboard from my good friend Ellen. It was on her pickup truck parked at her house in Bradford and some low down thieving dog grabbed it last night. I'm going to try and post a photo later, but just figured I'd spread the word. I'd guess it has to be an RI lowlife surfer or a CT lowlife as it was on RT 216 and can't see why anyone from far off would be traveling that road. PM me if you have anything that will help. I'll get specific info later. Thanks.

Hey, Kevin - if you don't have time to post pix at least give us a more detailed description - like brand name, graphics etc, trifin, etc etc
Ya never know - it could show up on this side of the bridge and if there's a swell tomorrow - and it looks like there will be in the AM with offshores - I'm in it - I can scan the lot and the beach at Second with it in mind... 
It sure would be neat to see some numbnuts cuffed for stolen goods after I drop a dime on the dirtbag...  |

Just got off the phone with her.... it's a Spectrum long board... white/white rails with wide red stripes, 9' feet long. It was on her truck parked in her driveway on Rt 216 in Bradford and that's where it was grabbed. Thanks again for any info. It's a longshot, but I figured I'd post and see what comes up.

Stealing from a surfer chick makes it even worse.  |

Board found!!! It turned up in a small surf shop in Mesquamicut. The shop bought it from a skinny blond with child and her two buddies. She said it was her father's.... shop owner neglected to get her name when he bought it off her. Ellen and the cops went and got it. Thanks all. She's a happy little blond surfer chick now!!  |

I'd say the guy who owns the shop in Misquamicut is hooked up with some surfboard thieves or is one himself in his spare time.
