Replying to How could you steal skis?

my friend and i just got back from hiking up our local mountain and sliding down it on sleds. upon reaching the base, there were four pairs of skis, no lock, nothing. they were just sitting in front of an empty lodge, on an abondoned ski hill, at 12:30AM. one of the pair of skis was brand new volkl karmas with salomon bindings on them. the thought never crossed my mind to take them even though it would have been easier than beating a homeless person at a game of LIFE. instead, i walked to the new skis and snagged the ten buck rental poles next to them.... score. so it makes me think how fucked you have to be in the head to take someone else's skis.
