Return of the Fucking Fucks

[Tri-Ungulate]

Smash and grab at Porcupine. My friends car got broken into in broad daylight, right in the parking lot of the restaurant at the mouth of BCC, while we were inside drinking beer and watching the game after a day skiing Alta.

They ripped off both our ski bags. My friend didn't have too much stuff in his, but he lost his iPod. Mine included all my fucking ski gear - ski pack (a vintage and no-longer-made Dana Designs Colter), Avalung, digital beacon, probe, shovel, skins, snow science/avalanche items, several pairs of gloves, helmet, goggles, sunglasses and prescription glasses, ski maintenance tools, and clothes including a Patagonia vest and a North Face shell. My irreplaceable drake*boinay wool hat was in the bag too, goddammit. And my ski pass. The most expensive item to replace will be one they probably throw away - my custom knee brace. Fuck Fuck Fuckity Fuck.

I'm putting together the list of the stuff stolen for the cops, and looks like replacement cost for everything will run over 3 grand. I don't know if insurance will cover it.

Motherfuckers.

[mavrick]

thats rough man.. especially if insurance wont help you out at all...

[William Murderface]

Thats fucking bullshit, Im really sorry dude...

Punk kids these days...

[jahoney]

yeah

that sucks... reminds me almost of when i went to whistler, the stupid ass airline lost my ski bag with alllllll my skiing shit in it. i was pissed. we got it back though

good luck getting reimbursed for all that

[P_McPoser]

Bummer. I'll dig out some spare shit and bring it to the mini.

[Phill]

that fucking sucks make sure to let people around the slc area know so that if they try to unload it you can catch them

[gramps]

Such a fucking ridiculous problem in this town. I've had second thoughts about leaving my shit in my car when I go into the porcupine so many times after skiing, but I've always thought it was probably ok. Such a bummer man, we should do a stake out sometime, I'd like to see those fuckers after a can of mace to the face. Hope your insurance takes the bite out of it.

[hemas]

Sucks...

Though atleast my homeowners insurance should cover that (and if I'm more than 30 miles from home, my travel insurance).

[Tectonically_Neglected]

Bummer man.

Hope you get your stuff back somehow.

[Mr. Altagirl]

If you do a stake out, catch them and need a place to "talk" to them, bring them over. I'll gladly help "ask" them a few questions. If you need to borrow anything, let me know (I'm working all week, no touring for me).

[JoshP]

Holy shit, in broad daylight. That sucks so bad. The worst feeling in the world when someone breaks into your car/house and takes stuff that is yours.

Here's to Kharma biting them in the ass. Good luck with the insurance etc., and I hope your stuff turns up.

[tex1230]

Homeowner's or Renter's insurance (if you have it) should cover that...auto insurance probably won't except for the cost of replacing the smashed window.
That really sucks.

[Trackhead]

Tri,

You're welcome to use my Dynafit skis and mount some tele's on them if you like. Or if you have Dyna AT boots, you can use my Dynafit skis the rest of the season.I have an extra avalung you can have, and a shovel.

Welcome to any of it. I'm not using it.

If I see anyone on your stuff, rest assured they will have two broken legs.

[Rontele]

Launce,

I have some extra avy gear including probes and shovels. PM me and let me know if you need any of it.

[BigDaddy]

Ouch! That hurts, especially the custom brace. I've been there and it totally sucks! Hope your insurance covers it! (F'n punk f's!!!) I once caught two shits trying to rip off my sterio... I happened to have a fake gun (from a "James Bond party") and I managed to get their names, etc. and scare the shit out of them... no more problems in my hood after that!

[DisArray]

Methamphetamine

[mrryde]

that fucking blows. I have no gear to offer, but I can throw in a 20 spot towards new gear.

[Rascal King]

hahah your're a fucking idiot for leaving you shit in plain view. Next time tint your windows bitch!

[kid4lyf]

That sucks so much.
Hopefully the pricks who took it end up upside down in a tree well till spring.
On another note, I'm selling some stuff.
Anyone looking for an Avalung, digital beacon, probe, shovel, skins, snow science/avalanche items, several pairs of gloves, helmet, goggles, sunglasses and prescription glasses, ski maintenance tools, and clothes including a Patagonia vest and a North Face shell?

[iceman]

Broad daylight in front of a busy restaurant on a very busy street?!? That sucks bigtime. I never would have worried I'd get broken into in that situation. Those guys had balls though.

Maybe check a few close-by dumpsters for the brace.

[ill-advised strategy]

Such a bummer man, we should do a stake out sometime, I'd like to see those fuckers after a can of mace to the face.

I can't keep up with you guys on the hill, I don't know shit enough to ski BC and my pictures suck but I will sure as shit work a stakeout with you guys. Figure it out, if y'all want to do this I'm in.

[Toadman]

Nothing like coming back to your car and seeing that BS. Check the local pawn shops to see if any of your stuff shows up there. I assume you've already filed a police report with a detailed description of your stolen items.

[lemon boy]

that sucks man! best of luck restocking your gear quiver

[mac19]

Sorry to hear that! Keep an eye on E-gay, up in canuckistan we've had a few arrests in alberta the last few months after the rightful owners spotted their items on ebay and notified police.CHEERS!!!!

[ill-advised strategy]

that fucking sucks make sure to let people around the slc area know so that if they try to unload it you can catch them

FYI, I was serious about the stakeout. Further, I've caught fucking fucks before:

for google: HEAR THAT JOE FINLEY!!?..OUT OF PRISON YET JOE? MAKE ANY FRIENDS IN THERE LITTLE BUDDY?

anyway, Joe Finley Jr. of Angel Fire New Mexico was making money by stealing gear in Taos and fencing it in Durango. So, based on this experience, I would suggest spreading the word as widely as possible including and beyond SLC.
