Let's not sugar coat this - Someone STOLE $500 worth of stuff from Steve. There's a general perception that banners are freebies, but they are not. They cost a ton of money to make, and I personally burned about $5k on them the first 3 years of FG under the same circumstances. If you're the one who jacked these, return 'em ASAP. If you think they look sweet in your garage and you decide to keep 'em, know you're on the same level with a crack smokin' thief who stole $500 out of someone's wallet. Pisses me off hearing this.

Sleepy was trying to be nice....Max said it like it needed to be said.

And, if you know the person that has one of these or the Horizon stuff..do the right thing, and make sure they send them back to their rightful owners.

PLEASE!

The one thing is they will only be able to "enjoy" them ALONE as any other self respecting FG member who sees them knows where they came from and hopefully will report and or return them for the offender. I personally have zero tolerance for thieves and to think that someone can just walk up and take something like this really stinks. I wasn't able to be at Nall but the minute I saw the pics of the flags in front of the planes it really made the point that we belong to a brotherhood that inspires a camaraderie with the other people who enjoy this hobby. I really hope someones conscience get the better of them so they are returned post haste.

Well, we searched New Zealand from top to bottom and can confirm they did not blow across the Pacific Ocean

And I have been watching the sky all evening here and they dont seem too have passed by Chile yet. However it may be because the winds come from the south predominantly so that means they are still up North.

Al, what about the neighbors over the ditch. Have they spotted anything???
