Replying to Skis = Stolen

Alright so i'm pretty frusterated here, I got my ski's stolen from Stowe yesterday and I dono what to do, im ridin on some old ones but still sucks. what can i do? stowe wont take responsibility obviously and do i contact police? i talked to some dumbass at the desk who knew nothing, does stowe have some sort of a policy or program to help find out more about my skis or what? does anyone have any idea? what do the resorts do...??? seems like it would be a good thing tohave in place so shit like this doesnt happen.... also if im buyin some used skis on here how can i guarantee theyre not stolen? probably cant but anyway to figure it out or get a clue? i dont wanna support any ski stealing bastards
