Also, if you are in any shops, please mention it to the techs to keep an eye out. Note alos the little black line by the speedlock dial, that is a distinguishing mark, also being the only pair of these around is a sure fire red flag.

Of all people I would expect Philpug to lock up his skis..or use the ski check.

Agreed. He has a lock and usually uses it. This was one of those moments I'm sure, he'd like to have back.

Good guy. Bad situation.
As epic said on Epic...........The good news about this theft is that hart has a product worth steeling.
Dumb logic, but the only bright side to this, perhaps.

It would have never happened if Phil would have skied Blue mountain this season..

Not sure of the situation but many people have pairs of skis that were former demos. I have a pair of public enemies that I snagged on ebay with demo bindings on them. The attraction to thieves is that the bindings can be adjusted for anybody and there is no remount needed for the prospective buyer.

Disclaimer: My skis bought on Ebay were bought from a shop that was unloading them for the season, not a thief. I don't ski on bad karma.

The reps have to buy all of their demo's before the demo season starts then they sell them after demo season is over. The dont pay much for them, but they pay for them all.

This is true. The Reps have to buy the gear, including bindings. Some manufacturers may have different Pricing Scales for their reps, than others, but all pay for the gear.
