Poster: A snowHead
|
Police in the US state of Vermont are investigating a wave of stolen skis and snowboards at several resorts.
This report from Times Argus.
The police advice?
"Most of the equipment stolen if recovered will end up at state auction if the owner cannot be located because of lack of identification."
"If there is no ID number on their equipment, owners should place their own. In order to prevent identity theft, police said owners should not use social security numbers or names with dates of birth."
Maybe favourite lottery numbers would be a good idea! Any other suggestions?

David Goldsmith, Since all skis and boards have serial numbers, why don't the idiot owners write them down (apologies to idiot snowheads ) and keep them to give to the fuzz when their kit is stolen. Not much use if their stuff is shipped miles away, but surely most nicked kit stays pretty close to where it was lifted . . . opportunism and all that.

Post code is always one to start with, and a record of the serial number helps.

Your Excellency, I'm considering writing my Swiss bank account number on my skis as I keep forgetting it - would this be a good idea?

David Goldsmith, If you put that on one ski, and your online account password on the other you could easily tell your left and right skis apart.

And your PIN Number, address, burglar alarm code and location and value of personal possessions.
