skidude Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Apparently right now CB security is back rooming about 5 kids who were stealing snowboards. The cops are up there and they are unloading a bus and seeing whats in it. The cops are up there too. F* people who steal skis/boards. I would soooo beat the sh*t out of anyone who tried to take my stuff. Anyway, just wanted to give them props for attempting to stop some of the theft. Something you might want to look into would be the free ski check, because I bet a lot more people would use it... Either way, good job. Quote
stevePSSC Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 my dominant is my life... its the first board that i had to pay for.. no more snowboards for christmas so i had to save up for her.. all 400 bucks worth and when i was only getting paid 5.50 back then 400 was alot.. but i would honestly try to beat the shit out of someone who tried taking my board.. but im a smaller guy so i might have to get someone bigger to kick his ass haha Quote
skidude Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Posted January 17, 2007 I would pick up the nearest rental pole of the rack, and swing it at the lil *****. Cause those rental poles from CB are hard to break.... Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 The kids that steal are also hard to break Quote
method9455 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 80% of the theft come from 20% of the people. Last year at Mountain Creek the local cops pulled over a Jeep Wrangler for speeding. The car had 2 guys in it, and the entire backseat was full of snowboards, almost a dozen. They got arrested but I'm not sure if people got their boards back. If you look on your board - there is a serial number. It is usually between the bindings near one of the edges, about a centimeter tall. Take a picture of that number and keep it on file somewhere so you would be able to file a police report if it does get stolen. Quote

Stevo Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Stealing boards is wrong. If i caught anyone stealing anyones shit, i'd turn them in in a heartbeat. I had 2 skateboards stolen from me, i know the feeling, although slightly less expensive. Some people in this world are just fucking scumbags... Quote
johnnypowder Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 If you have homeowners insurance doesn't that cover ski or board theft?? I believe it would. If you bought top notch stuff you should let your insurance guy know and have it specifically added to your policy - just like that 4ct diamond wedding ring you gave the mrs. You should have photos of everything you own which is worth replacing - i suggest a video inventory (or photographic) of everything you own including your ski and board gear. Lay out all of your gear, take photos or video and document serial numbers and what you paid for it. Keep original receipts in a file. The more info you have, the easier it will be to get it back and or have the insurance company reimburse you. Quote
Shadows Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Stealing boards is wrong. damn stevo, youre on today. bb has the po-po up there all the time checkin things out Quote
IrishSnow686 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) If you have homeowners insurance doesn't that cover ski or board theft?? I work for an insurance company.. and yes, it is covered under the contents portion of a homeowners policy. Like Johnnypowder said, the best thing to do is take an inventory (photo or video) of all of your things. Keep a copy of it and also see if you insurer will take a copy (just in case your copy was stolen or burned in a fire!). However, I highly doubt any insurance company would let you put it on your policy like a peice of jewelry.. mainly b/c this is an item that you are using alot, and subjecting it to a lot of wear and tear amonst everything else. We have people trying to add their golf clubs, bikes, computers to their policy and we have to decline it. We just tell them it is covered under the contents portion. Though it may be listed on your policy and if it were stolen, you are still subject to the deductible... so if board and bindings were less than your deductible, you have to pay for all of it. Its a great thing those kids were caught, but all the more reason for CB to stop trying to earn a $ for every little thing and have a free ski/board check like Blue.

JFBB started with the free check this year and it is great, but still only as good as the people running it. Quote
method9455 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) If you have homeowners insurance doesn't that cover ski or board theft?? Only if you have the serial number to file a police report and then you have to pay the deductible - which means really not worth it. We've had stuff stolen from our shop but the boards are far from the door so 9 out of 10 times its small stuff. Actually the only major theft we have had was employees. Usually it was a guy who had been there a while, and when the owner sent him to the storage unit to get more stock, he would swipe a couple pairs of boots or skis and we wouldn't realize it until we inventoried later in the year long after who ever stole it had quit and sold the stuff on Ebay.

zaldon Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) yea if somone stole my stuff they better hope security or the police get them befor me. as for cb security... well their a little trigger happy about stolen boards... Edited January 17, 2007 by zaldon Quote
mtnbiker99x Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 At CB I don't let the board out of my sight and if I do its locked down. About 6 years ago my friend had a board stolen at MC then they tried to hock it at The Loft. The guys from The Loft told the kids to leave the boards and come back in an hour to pick up their money. Well when they returned the State Police were waiting for them. Luckily my friend recorded the serial number and had a good description of the board. The kids were charged and we had to stop at the police station the following week to get his board back. So where ever you go lock it down with a good cable, not the light ones you can clip with cutting pliers. Quote

Scumbag insurance companies probably won't cover it and when you add jewelry to your policy the rates go through the roof. Quote
mtnbiker99x Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Forgot to mention that I have seen Camelback's security in action and they are pretty good at getting some of the crooks. Still there are a number of boards that walk away from any mountain that you go to and you should still lock your board down with a high quality lock. I mentioned in a thread last year that I use the Kryptonite one, seems to be thicker and harder to cut than some of the chepo locks out there. Quote
JollyJake99 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 The local paper often runs reports of thefts reported at Blue, but very rarely anything re: C'back. Does this mean that there's less theft at C'back? I know C'back runs(?), or at least ran, security patrols of the parking lots. Quote
Skizilla Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Even one of those thin wire cable locks is better than nothing. I'm glad CB finally got on the ball and started a ski check. Quote
DHarrisburg Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 Protip: If you're leaving your board on a rack unsupervised you should use the toe or anklestrap on your binding to attach the board to the rack. In the event that someone does try to walk by and swoop on your board they will hopefully either; A. be confused as to why the board doesn't just come loose, or B. not want to take out time to unstrap the board from the rack.

I've done this before on the handrail at the top of the steps in blue's lodge- not fool proof, but better than nothing. Quote
Treeless Forest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 i was accused of stealing a board last ?friday? night. apparently the kid was wearing the same color jacket????????????? the kid whos board was stolen stood at the line for like half an hour. its a good idea to have ur board with you at all times [/b] Quote
steezy Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 I probily shouldn't say this. But 2 years ago I had my boards stollen at Camelback. I got them back because security recovered from an employee. This is when I found out that camelback runs sting operations. They will set like a nice flashy pair of race skis out just laying on the snow and see who tries to steal them. Usually they have a security guy watching them in plain cloths so no one will see. I think its great the CB does that Quote
LineSki Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 couple years ago my friend got his board stolen and we were in a mad scramble to find find it or the kids. but i told the security what just happened and they said they have found the guy already and was getting processed. I was like damn cb thats impressive. Quote
