that's good news, going to Utah at the end of the month on SW, makes me feel better about flying with them.

Southwest just called me.
They have my skis and will be delivering them.

Poor bastard on CL. Totally innocent.

Thank you all for support and commentary
I look forward to getting my sh!t back

Wow. Did not see that coming. How did that happen? Must be someone wanted to demo them... ;)

Just wait to celebrate!
Went to Banff Canada some years ago, Unloaded my skis from the Bus,
Bus driver gets in my face and goes Bersek , rips my ski bag out of my hand , I reply loudly "These are my skiis". He grabs the bag and throws them back in the bus, my buddies and I look at each other WTF?
Next day , sure enough my skiis aren't in the storeage area. !@#$%^&*()_
I go to the Hotel Manager and rip him a new one. They paid for rental
2 days later my skiis show up ...No bag. I have to buy a new one to get my 2 pairs home!

ps That was the same trip where I watched a guy zip open his ski bag and tips fall off his mangled skiis


Hope you have a happy ending

Seems like a big waste of time to play internet detective for a pair of skis and potentially falsely accusing a legitimate seller on Craigslist.

I don't understand your post. What was the driver upset about? You're not allowed to unload your own skis? Or he thought you were trying to steal them?

As others have said, it's not a waste of time at all. It's well worth it to do a little detective work if you think (or know) your stuff has been stolen. As much as I love CL, it's a huge marketplace for goods of questionable origin.

Glad the OP got his skis back!

criminals are not the smartest folks. a buddy of mine had his vacation home robbed and found several items matching the list of missing stuff posted on ebay or cl (can't remember which). he reported it to the cops and action was taken.

sorry, didn't mean to generalize and stereotype. i'm sure there are some very intelligent criminals. i meant no offense.
