Who in the hell steals an entire chair? Hard core Czech dudes, that’s who…

According to the Prague Daily Monitor, an entire ski lift has been stolen in the Northern Bohemian town of Desná in the Czech Republic on May 7th, 2012. Yeah, the whole damn thing…

The steel support structures, three posts, a pulley, and a 1.0 kilometer long cable were taken.

The stolen lift must be smallerish as it was only netted to worth 200,000 crowns or $10,236.64 USD.

We’re pretty sure that the police are somewhat amused by this, but they are also investigating the theft thoroughly. They’re trying to figure out if the thieves are gonna use the lift somewhere else or if they’re gonna just dismantle it and sell the parts.

This theft carries a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.

Worth it tho. Imagine having your own, private, free ski lift. We applaud this action! …no, no we don’t.

That's so awesome. I'd imagine it took a piece of heavy machinery along with a tractor trailer at least. This is so legendary.

This has gotten me thinking...

There's an old ski area in California called "Iron Mountain" which has 4 old riblets just chillin, still standing after like 20 years, as well as a boatload of old lift parts in the parking lot that were purchased but never set up.

...hmmmmmmmmm ;)

what the fuck it's obviously a t/j-bar a full sized detachable of fixed chairlift would require a helicopter to get the towers down a mountain but still that's incredibly impressive wonder how long it too them

Off Mormon immigrant road, super close to where I live. My buddies went there one time and said they found like 20 unused fire extinguishers there and they just went crazy with them.
