Gloves Stolen out of Sled

[alex2929]

I keep my spare belt, gloves, tools, etc in a truck bag. Typically I levae it on the sled at gas stations, restaurants, etc. I always take it in the hotel with me when done riding for the night though.

Anybody have any good ideas for keeping the hood locked down so at least your spare belt won't walk off? I'm not talking about full security for when you're leaving the sled out overnight somewhere but just something that would deter the thief to not take a look to see if you have a spare belt while you are grabbing lunch.

Indy, I think you might have been looking into something like this for when you rode your sled to school (back when it snowed in central Wisconsin).

I butted 2 small L brackets up next to each other. bolted one on the hood the other on the console and put a lock thru the holes in the L brackets.

Please beware - I stopped at Root Cellar in Gogebic and went in for dinner. When I came out someone stole my brand new Ski-doo snowmobile gloves out of my bag on my sled. Was keeping them in there because my old ones were
getting bad. I guess I will have to be more careful not to keep anything of value in there since there is a thief out there.

Just want people to be aware.

I would have to say it was Kids or a disgruntled Local, because Snowmobliers are like a big family. In almost 30 years of Snowmobiling I've never had anything taken from my sleds, except once when they took the whole trailer and sleds from an Apartment Complex I lived in 1998.

Don't anyone ever be so gullible. You can't put everyone in any sport in the same class. Yes, the majority of snowmobilers are good folks and will take care of each other, but there are a few bad apples out there that spoil it for everyone again and again. I walked into the gas station down the street from my house the other day with my snowmobile jacket on just as three sleds were pulling up to the pumps. The attendant looked AT ME and said "You snowmobilers aren't going to get me again!" I said "Excuse me?" She just had two sleds fill up and drive off without paying and she was pissed at us all. She apologized, but you see my point. Bad guys drive snowmobiles too.

I hear stories all the time of stuff getting stolen off sleds sitting at bars. Just be smart everyone and bring your stuff in with you. If the restaurant doesn't like it, tell them you and all your sledding buddies will take your business elsewhere.

Weve had our spare belts stolen before, they got a used belt from me , I never carry a new spare on the sled, I keep one of my old ones under the hood for a spare and keep a new one back at the truck.
