Figured this deserved it's own thread, and to me it's a feel good story where sometimes the good guys do come out ahead. The suspect allegedly stole 5 snowboards and a set of skis. One snowboard which belonged to me.
felony charges but will be plea bargained down to simple fine. Good that he got caught, wish the cadets would have pounded him a little, but best not to get the good guys in trouble.
The little prick works at broomfield Christy Sports too! I've emailed his manager already, hopefully he looses his job, pays a fine, and at least gets probation.
I fucking HATE thieves, so this is a GREAT ending to this story. It will get plea bargained down to just about nothing, especially for the juvenile, but at least now Gunnar isn't going to be able to find work anywhere they do a background check. :thumbsup:
My snowboard is my most prized possession. It's my dream car, my true pride and joy.
And if some asshole was to try to steel my baby one day... I'd go Liam Neeson on his ass!
I'd call him: "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT I WILL FIND YOU, AND I WILL..." I'd chase him down and find out who he is, where he lives, and how to get to him. At 3:00 AM I'd break into his house..."WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY DAUGHTER?! (board)". I'd find that he handed it to a bunch of rich gangsters who are trying to auction it for their own use! They'd then capture me and try to kill me, but I'd escape and take 'em out...I'd then find my board leaving on a boat. I'd jump on the boat, take down the gangster criminal running this whole operation and take back my snowboard!
And then a few years later they'd take my board again in an epic sequel, in which I would again kick their asses (hopefully for good this time) and take back my beloved board.
What would I do then? I'd go snowboarding, of course!
Some of you guys are saying he's only 18 and maybe he'll learn his lesson... I don't think he will, I'm more of a believer in if ur a piece of shit at 18... ur probably a piece of shit at 24...
Wish he took my board, would of been a nice ass beating followed by some bowl movements in his direction :thumbsup:

word. you can learn a lesson after getting caught by stealing snickers or beer from the shop or doing some other small mistake. there shouldn't be a place for douches in snowboarding world, no mercy for them
i read the previous thread about that stolen board, news that this jerk got caught made my day so much better

Exactly. Swiping a chocolate bar from a corner store is a youthful mistake. Swiping 5 boards and a pair of skis isn't a "mistake", its what happens when you don't learn from those previous mistakes.
Agreed...as piece of shit at 18 is a piece of shit at 24, and likely one at 30. Sure there are exceptions to the rule, but as my old friend Tom Lykis used to say "just because there are exceptions to the rule, doesn't mean the rule isn't true."
IMO he should be banned from the mountain permanently.
I remember back in the day when I would worry about my snowboard getting stolen. Not a concern with a battered seasoned board. I have a new one I aint rode yet, now when I mount the bindings on that one I will have to worry about dicks stealing it. With my current board, no one wants it.
I like hearing about people getting busted stealing people's equipment on the mountain. They should focus on this as a opposed to trolling the parking lot looking for stoners. Maybe they should have mountain watch guard equipment instead of that one roller at Keystone.
So how often do those bastards actually unscrew the binding off that has the lock on the get to the board?
Is that likely to happen? I might buy 2 locks for both bindings just in case, next time I go out west. :thumbsup:
