Thieves are dumb, bet they wouldn't even notice the missing toepiece if they're trying to be quick. Had a buddy who had his window smashed out and wallet stolen from his car, even though the doors weren't locked. Reminds me of that

People that steal in the first place aren't too intelligent in the first place. I don't think the lack of a toe piece will stop 'em from running away with skis that aren't theirs.

I once had speakers stolen out of my house. The thief cut the speaker wires with wire cutters, rather than just unplug them. Fuckin cracked me up.

This 100%

Better off just separating your skis since most folks will want a full set. No one is riding away on stolen skis (chances of BSL matching are low). Maybe thieves would rather steal a pair with bindings but they might also just want the flat skis anyway.

Majority of ski thieves don't even ski. They won't care or notice

Ok given the direction of this thread, on a serious note, do you thjnk if I used a wire lock and put it through the heelpieces of my pivots that'd be enough to not have my shit stolen? I know you can unscrew the heelpieces but I imagine that's too much work for any thief

Who goes skiing with a gun? I guess if someone stole your skis and attacked you maybe you could shoot and claim self sefense, bht J don't know what the carry laws are on resorts. I'd imagine you can't carry at all

Lol no. You cannot just shoot someone who is stealing skis off a rack at a ski area, it needs to be self defense. If someone breaks into your house to steal your skis and you live in a state where there's castle law, however, you are protected by law to use deadly force to protect your residence.

I'm worried about someone stealing my pivot toes from my setup when im at whistler NGL, but typically not trying to take them off every time I need to go in or something. I don't go in often though, but probably should pop em off and pocket em... people have been getting gear stolen from the top of whis lately which is confusing to me how someone either downloads with extra skis.... or carries them out skiing?

Thought of the same thing with my pivots, what if I put my rear binding to the side, maybe they'll think it's broken and won't take it? Not risking it tho, sticking with the ski key

they’re going for the lowest hanging fruit so the lock is a deterrent. I actually say put it in a more traffic area because people will see the thieve messing with your lock whereas they could have some time in a back alley alone to break the lock if no one is around.

But then again, most of these thieves don’t even know what they’re looking at when it comes to skis
