- Dwayne, I need those skis back now :) There are a variety of locks for skis
- available in most skis stores/Sports Experts etc. They are $15-$40. Another
- method (which didn't work in my case) is to separate the skis at the racks
- when you go in. Most ski thefts are grab and run, so a thief isn't going
- to waste time with a lock or looking for another ski unless they really
- want your skis in particular. Lock 'em or lose 'em.
