ON3P Needs Newschoolers help - Stolen Skis at Squaw

I was wondering if people in the Lake Tahoe area could keep their eyes out for a pair of stolen 186cm ON3P JBS that were taken from the village at Squaw Valley last night.

Skis are 186cm long, full twin, 104 underfoot.  Pretty similar to a gotama to give you an idea of what they look like.

Mounted with older salomon s900s.

This is the [B][U]ONLY[/U][/B] pair of these skis in the tahoe area.  There are a pair of wrenegades around there with the same topsheet graphic, that do not have the big "3" in the tip, owned by powderhound100 on here. 

If anyone sees these skis, please let me know so we can get them back to their owner.  They were supposed to be competing in the Crystal freeride comp soon and it would be sweet if we could get them back in time :D.

I figure if there is ANY ski right now that would be easy to track down, this would be it.  There is only 52 pairs out there right now and I know where 51 of them are.

If you need to get ahold of me, or what my number, shoot me a PM or email at skiups9 AT gmail DOT com.

Thanks!

Before you even considered fighting, you should have considered what the skis look like.

Here's an F.Y.I. to anybody who doesn't know, but the skis that were stolen from Josh resemble a Pistol or Seth. The only skis that resemble those and are still farrrrrr off are the Wrens and the Jeronimos, and there are only three pairs of those in Canada, if I'm not mistaken. All the others are 120mm+ waists and are easily differentiable from the JBS.


Besides, how likely is it that a ski stolen in Tahoe would be ridden in Vancouver a few days later?

Dude this fall I was sitting outside a lodge by the ski rack with my Sir Francis Bacons talking on the phone to my homie. And this guy comes and dumps his shitty board down on the rack, walks inside to pee or whatever, walks back outside and proceeds to start and walk off with a really nice Lib tech Skate Banana. I was paying just enough attention to notice it was the same guy, so I walked over as he was starting to buckle up, called him out on it. He started getting all apologetic, telling me he was sorry and crap, and it wont happen again, and I told him if it was my board, he'd be dead. and then the guy who owned the board came out, and proceeded to take the guys info, got a witness statement from my friend (I was leaving town), and later called the boys in blue.

It pissed me off to see some dick anything. And of all the things to steal, skis are one of the worst, for the reason that most skiers can barely afford to ski. I promptly went and bought a lock for my skis the next day. It sucks to lock my sticks every time I go buy a Snickers, but its worth not replacing an expensive pair.

Good luck finding those skis, props for ON3P, and for God's sake, if anyone ever sees someone stealing skis/boards, kick em square in the balls, yell something along the lines of Justice Punt!!!!, and then GET THEM ARRESTED.

if it was a gaper he maybe looked em up on the intrawebz to see what they're worth... when finding out how rare they are maybe just the garbage or garage for eternity.
