No, I haven't heard about any, but I'm sure it happens...

Bri .... do you hear much about ski theft at sundown?

I had my bag looked through at Sundown while I was out skiing..Not much was in there so they left it on a table on the other side of the room.

Any cable lock will do. Remember, if someone wants to steal your gear, they will anyway. However, when you have alock, the entire world will see them cutting it.

Thinking of starting a national ski regestry, anyone interested in helping out.

If there isn't one out there already, that's an excellent idea. I wonder what it takes to do? TB, what are the legalities? It would bring great press to the site.

it takes only a few seconds to put a cable lock around skis.

Good Heavens! Do you people lock your cars and houses too?

What is this world coming to?

Don't lock my car in the winter because the CLS (Central Locking System) on my car malfunctions in frozen weather. For some reason it thinks the car is being broken into and goes into "security mode" completely locking the car from the outside world. That means you can't even break into it without breaking a window. Leave it to cold war era BMW to think of something so absurd.

Lock my house, my dog is my baby, I can't find a strong enough lock.

Lock my skiis depending on where I am. Basically, how close am I to NYC.

Same here snowmonster, the 30" cable that's in the inexpensive lock I picked up in October just doesn't reach every rack I come across...

My neighbor lost their house key five years ago, and they still have not found it

I use the SKI KEY and love it! It fits in any pocket and IMO is pretty theft proof. A small $20 investment to protect $1000 worth of equipment!
