Replying to Has anyone ever had their ski's or snowboard stolen?

Ok so last year the first day I went snowboarding I was having a great time so we came in for a break at the chalet, they have awesome things to hold your ski's and snowboards. I was only inside for 5 minutes and when I came back out it was gone! I fuckin looked for 2 weeks on places like ebay and google and craigs list. It was a Burton Clash Size 146 and it had a blue underside with white writing and the top was gold and white. Now I want to know if something like this has ever happened to you and if you found it and how you did it.
