The Official my gear got stolen 10/11 thread

whichever you lock you choose dont make it a masterlock combo lock.. aside from it being a pain in the arse to spin when its frozen(if your locker is outside) but also because they do make master keys for the masterlocks and can unlock any lock it wants.. all it takes is one scum bag walking through lookin for a masterlock..   

so are you guys talking like leavin ur shit out at a resort while ur eatin or some shit? ive always wondered if thats when ppls stuff gets jacked or not??

so a guy a was with dropped an iphone from a lift because he went to grab a beer out of his pocket that he put both of them in. anyways before we could get back down to the spot it fell we someone grabbed it and took off. we called it and i guess apple even has some tracking software. we chased this dude all over the mountain with this tacking software but we could never figure out exactly who it was. anyways i was on a trip to park city so i wasted an entire day of riding on some wild iphone chase. so if you loose something and you have friends who paid to go riding. force them to leave you so you can search by yourself and they can have a clear conscience and enjoy the day because they spent money. or if you are like me put up with all the bs searching and then have him pay for your stippers.

It sucks that peoples things are being stolen, it makes me think twice about leaving it unlocked. Also makes me wonder why people are so desperate that they have to steal...what a shame.

Originally posted by ippollite someone dropped a samsung smart phone (as if im literate enough to know what it is). I picked it up, rode down the mountain with it very visibly in my hands just in case they recognised it, and gave it to the lifties at the gondola station. And you know what, that person would have done the exact same thing if the situation was reversed (ive lost my wallet on several occasions, always with stacks of money in it and always got it back). Japan... :D

My brother let his friend borrow my boats because his friend needed size 11 and mine were size 11. Turns out they get stolen somehow and then I'm left without boats. The guy didn't want to but me new ones and was being a jerk about it. Thats the last time I let anyone I don't know personalty borrow anything of mine.

Dang I didn't realize how many kleptos there were at ski resorts.

Get this, the first weekend I ever went riding, my rental board with step in binding got jacked! why??? Havent had any problems once i bought my own stuff and ive never bothered to lock my stuff up.

beanies are replaceable

now the ones that are rare and pretty friggin sweet and they get stolen sucks.

facemasks are no bueno you better sanitize the crap out of it.

i dont get how anyone could steal your boots or even your board.

This has never happened to me... knock on wood... sorry it has happened to all you guys... maybe no one steals my stuff because I can NEVER afford to always have the latest and greatest stuff... either way... knock on wood... I do have to agree that a cheap lock makes more sense than losing $300 to $600 worth of gear! Damn!

However I did leave a good pair of gloves on top of my car once then drove home! YEAH, I will NOT be making that mistake again!

Originally posted by andyc5315 I wonder if any resorts have thought of using bait boards? Like a really hot expensive board and bindings with a tracking device. The could get you before you leave the resort. That would help get thief's off the mountains or help stop it.

I've had the same thought. It would be just like that show Bait Car. Where they park a nice car in a ghetto neighborhood and then wait for someone to steal it. That would def. help with the problem of stealing.

just had my beanie stolen when i when to the pisser... i mean come on. A friggen beanie?

Originally posted by LittleShooey Where would you stash a GPS on a bait board? False compartment under one of the bindings? I haven't seen GPS tech that's stealthy small. Even the ones the Feds use (I'd put the PDs using bait cars in this same category) are pretty blocky.  Maybe stash it in a leg bag strapped to the binding. *shrugs* I'd watch the crap out of Bait Boards!

They have tracking stickers you can out on stuff like your keys, remote, or phone to help you find them. They could easily put one on the bottom of the binding.

Originally posted by Techquebec Just have a security measure like in the movie Blade.. ie. person holds his sword the wrong way and gets his hands cut off. So, step in the bindings the wrong way and ...well you get the idea.

Someone jacked my facemask, as my back was turned, while I was adjusting my bindings. This was earlier on in the season. It was a cool looking facemask (half scull), but seriously, who would want someone else's facemask? Sweat, breath and snot. Why would someone risk a beating for that?
