Stolen Honey Badgers 155 in Provo Utah

Hey everybody,

So last night my jeep was broken into, and someone stole a brand new pair of Line Honey Badgers size 155 out of it. It was south of BYU campus in Provo Utah. They obviously took everything else too, which amounted to a few hundred dollars. But Having your brand new skis get stolen sucks pretty bad. I am hoping to get some internet justice and track down whoever did it. So please spread the word!


Please contact me or Line Skis if you hear of anything that might help me track them down.

Thanks!

someone should put little rfid tags in skis so if you loose them when you bail hard in a lot of snow you can just pull out your phone and using the nfc thing point you to where your ski is. Then it could also work for something like this where if someone takes your skis you can post up an rfid number for your skis and if someone thinks they see your skis but doesn't want to start shit in case its not the skis they can whip out their phone and find out in a second. the chips cost at most a couple bucks each. maybe more for the high frequency ones that can passively transmit to 30 or 40 feet.

That sucks man, sorry to hear. Spread the word around to your local ski shops too if you haven't already, maybe they will try to get the bindings remounted somewhere.

I almost feel like someone should try and invent a tracking system for gear when it gets stolen or lost in powder. It could be done relatively cheap i feel like, maybe make an attachable barcode

Have faith, I have a m8 who had two snowboards stolen from his car. The police found them and returned them. And maybe the Line skis account if their is one on here may see your post, on here and may hook you up.

Yeah, and then you get buried in a slide inbounds with no beacon, and I break out the recco hoping to save your life and maybe your rfid chip interferes and then i alert on something, dig for an hour and I find your ski and not you. But, hey I found your ski dude!

Just making a point that this has been considered and rejected. For good reason.

Also, everyone skiing with a beacon: keep your phone as far away as possible from your beacon.

Well you clearly don't use the same frequency as the recco system. If this was an issue then every credit or debit card with rfid would be interfering with the system. plus I don;t think recco is rfid. they're reflectors of some sort which is different.

I'm sure it;s been thought of, but rejected for totally different reasons.

I'm sorry your car got broken into...

That's why I responded. The name on the ad was Marcus so it got me asking if that was him.

Marcus is an athlete of ours in Utah. I think he's been a little busy to follow up here but the skis were found behind a dumpster near where his car was broken into. Instead of having them sent back to Seattle, I suggested he sell the extra, smaller pair to cover the $1000 in other items that were stolen.

You do understand those skis are worth no more than $400 brand new from a shop, right? This doesn't add up.

Since Marcus goes to BYU, I'm sticking with this is just a scam. Utah is pretty favorable for white collar crime.

its not very white collar to post using your name on both...

OP should come into this thread to clear things up though.

He can't because he was just arrested by the FBI for a ski ponzi scheme.
