Hey everybody -
went sledding over Christmas/New Years Break with a group of family and friends at Sicamous. Collectively as a group, we have been going there at this time of year for the last 10 years and have never had an issue!!! Always been an excellent destination with great people and great snow.
Yesterday (December 31st) morning, we woke up in the morning to find a 2 place open trailer with 2 Ski-doos on it STOLEN!!
2004 Ski-doo Summit X 800 151" yellow and black with a BROKEN REAR SPRING AND SHOCK.
2007 Ski-Doo Summit X 159" grey and Black.
The Sleds belong to a family of 4 from a small town in Alberta.
The Day BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, another person in our group was loading up his skidoos in the Parking lot at Owls head after a day of Riding, when he noticed a LARGE BLACK POLICE BATON/CLUB laying beside his truck. We gave it to the RCMP when they were investigating yesterday, and they indicated right away it was definetly being used as a tool to break into vehicles.
The stolen sleds/trailer were parked RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE FRONT OFFICE of our motel and the @$$holes had the nerve to cut the lock and chains off, and manhandle the trailer around the truck so they could hook on to it.
Sicamous has always been an excellent destination with great sledding and has always been good to us. I realize our friends will probably never see their belongings again, but I still wanted to post this and make everyone aware to be carefull and realize this kind of cowardly behaviour still happens no matter where you go.
