I hope so Spa. However, I actually feel worse for some of the others in the club. At least three of the boats taken belonged to members of our junior slalom team, kids who I know will be heartbroken by this.
I'm feeling very bad about one thing. There's been pressure on me lately to get a newer, fast competition boat, which I've resisted because I can't face selling my beloved Vadja Challenger even though it's getting old. Now my family have suggested that if we can't trace my sister's boat, would I be willing to give it to her and get a new one? Well, I would love to do so, but at the same time its like wishing that the stolen one never gets found, which I definitely don't mean.

Sorry to hear about your sister's misfortune. Hopefully, you will get them back.

I just got a call from our canoe club to say that there's been a break-in and my sister's slalom kayak has been stolen along with about eight others. Can't believe it, and whats more is apparently the police haven't even taken descriptions of the boats. Which is as stupid as it was to steal them in the first place- the UK slalom circuit is small enough that if they tried to sell the boats they would be instantly recognised (nearly all good quality ones have custom paint jobs, or at least names and tel numbers marked inside), so God knows where they'll end up. Probably in police storage under months worth of red tape if they are ever traced. I'm so mad, and upset for my sister too.
