A Kalispell man requested that law enforcement help physically remove all of the family members who came to visit him on Christmas.

Why didn't I think of that

1:27 p.m. Some skis were stolen in Whitefish. 

Honestly, this not happening was my biggest surprise when I started skiing. The way skis are stored at the lodge, etc. seems like it would be incredibly easy for people to just come and snag some. It’s like the equivalent of a bike rack in a busy place where none of the bikes were locked, how long would it take for a few to go missing.

Of course maybe they do get stolen with some frequency, but I’ve never heard of it. I’m not too worried myself, I figure there are plenty of fancier looking skis to steal than mine.

Missing aircraft parts?  I feel like there’s a story there.

I know it happens but it’s very infrequent. Skis are so specific to a boot length And type (think AT bindings)  that you can’t just pop them on and ski off while leaving your old shitty skis at the rack. I’ve been skiing for 20 years and have never had any skis stollen.

Yeah, but you could just walk off with them to your car and adjust the bindings or sell them later. In any event, I was definitely surprised that it’s not a bigger concern. Some places have those lock compatible racks, but I’ve never actually seen anyone use a lock on them.

Someone (or more likely several someones) hit a local carbide tool maker last Friday and walked off with a battery-operated saw, corded power saw, Dewalt laser level and $3,500 worth of copper wire. There’s always someone willing to not look too closely at “used” electronics & tools and valuable scrap metal.

Apparently, about 7 or 8 people believe the police are either psychotherapists or personal assistants/valets.

Is he on Oppo? That might be a very smart woman.

I went to EL_ULY’s place of employment once and while I didn’t actually meet him, I left with all my organs, so I consider that a win.

For a lot of police work, either of those skill sets would probably be better for everyone.
