Today, while coming back from skiing, a woman asked me if I could help her carry her stroller. I put my skis down and helped her. When I came back to pick my skis up, I saw two guys running away with my gear. You try chasing someone while wearing ski boots. FML

Hey, OP here. I'm finally gonna answer some of your questions: 1. Yes, i do believe it was a set up. The woman and the thiefs were definitely working together. 2. They were old skis, I bought myself a pair of awesome new ones later :) 3. I didn't go skiing alone. I live in Switzerland and was helping a friend of mine -who is an elementary school teacher- as a skiing instructor for his 9 year old school kids. He teaches and lives in a tiny village about an hour from where I live, and since I don't have a car, I went there by train. So obviously i rode the train back home alone. The only good thing about the whole story is that I didn't have to carry my skis back home. ha. ha. Feel free to message me, if you have any questions.

Most prolly a set-up. So many stories like that as station security. Next time rig your skis with C4 and blow them up. They're gone anyway and you'll help society a great deal.

Yay a good deed was done. But skis are very expensive. So the happiness of doing a good deed is ruined by the fact his skis are gone.

That's awful, you can't do anything anymore without having to worry about stuff like that, you should of grabbed a snowmobile, and chased them down secret agent style.

it's a shame, when you try to be nice and lend a helping hand, it just turns back around on you :( poor op

That is very unfortunate..especially when considering how expensive skiing gear is. I'm sorry. Let's just hope this turns against them somehow. However, I hope that you'll keep on helping other people, despite your bad experience.
