Stolen K2 Mindbender 108Ti 186cm--FOUND

[Big J]

In this case, the vehicle was secured. Thieves still find a way...

It also seems that they can have the best luck in not getting caught.

What lock do you have that has a thicker cable? I'd like to get something a bit heavier than the pocket lock I have but everything I've found is pretty bulky

I use the
DAKINE CAM LOCK
GEAR LOCK - 02300650
2 Year Limited Warranty
Compact sliding keyed lock
Heavy duty 50" [ 127 cm] coiled plastic coated steel cable
Cam lock feature, with removable lock head, allows multiple locking options
Includes 2 keys
Green only
I bought two of them a couple of years ago. I leave it on the ski rack for the day. Can lock at any position on the cable. I lube it once a year. Easily will lock 2 or 3 pairs of skis with poles.

I actually have one of those (the blue version) but haven't used it recently. On a really cold day at Sunday River the mechanism was so hard to turn I thought I wasn't going to be able to unlock the skis. On warmer days it works fine, though.

Use lock lube in it.

Use lock lube in it.

Or graphite, which won`t stiffen up in cold weather...

Correct. Graphite is what I do use. Was fine at 5 below.

 

[Big J]

Use lock lube in it.

The lock lube I use is graphite as it is good in cold weather.

My faith in the skiing public has been restored, my faith in myself as a detailed oriented person has gone down a few notches. The 4 pair of missing demo skis believed to have been stolen have been found! They were in the box on top of the van... I am so happy these are back, let the ball busting begin.... @k2_norcal @k2skis @livinthedreamsales #didewheresmyskis? #whatsonyouryakimabox?

At least this thread was entertaining

Can you lock it now ???

Oh...I say we let it run for a while.

Wait, what about the decline of civilization, the zombie heards roving the plains, the fireballs, Teslas mowing down old ladies, and getting the bunker ready?? Stand down?

How long before he looked in the box??? Must need a tune for those edges!

Ostensibly went missing February 15, rediscovered today. On the positive side there’s much in this thread that a ski thief could use to hone his craft. Ski reps, not so much!

 

[fatbob]

Had his weed stash in the main van run low and he had to look for his spare in the box?

 

[Joal]

So you lost your Mindbenders and found them in plain sight. Now do you know where to look if you lose your VJJs? Right where you left them last.

Parents can thank this dude for plastic Easter eggs. No way was his mom letting him hide real eggs in the house again ... after that batch got stolen one year.

Unreal . . . sounds like something I would do. In the shop we used to call this 'flatspotting'. Still do it around the house all the time.
