Fuck my fucking life.

Today, I went to go get my bindings adjusted for my trip to Momentum this coming Tuesday. My friend drove me to my local shop to pick them up, and two other friends were in the car. I'm going to call the driver "Rick", friend number one "Jack", and friend number two "Mo". So as I'm at the counter picking up my skis, Rick, Jack, and Moe are looking at skis in the back. When I get my skis, the guy asks me if I want to pay now or go look around. I tell him I'll go look at stuff with my friends and pay in a few minutes. He puts them up front.

As my friends are looking at skis, Rick starts thinking it would be a good idea to steal a pair. Jack gets in on the plan. Mo, a good, quiet kid who's never done anything wrong, stays quiet. I tell them they're retarded. They don't listen. So we go upstairs to look at some stuff, and then Rick and Jack go back downstairs. When Mo and I go downstairs, I pay for my skis and we leave out the front door.

Walking back to the car, I see Rick and Jack standing by the car, Rick saying, "Dude, you fucked up the plan!" I ask what plan he's talking about, as I never heard about any plan. He tells me his plan, I don't really listen. So I sit in the car with my skis, and Rick, Jack, and Mo go back inside. A few minutes later, Mo comes out the front door and sits in the car with me. Another few minutes later, Rick and Jack burst out the back door with two pairs of skis, throw them in the back, and drive off.

Fucking great, I'm thinking. Just awesome. $900 of stolen merchandise in this car. Rick is freaking out, so is Jack. We pull over in the nearby grocery store parking lot so they can look at their awesome shit they just stole, and so we can get food for the barbecue we were supposed to have.

Just then I get a call from my dad. He says, "I just got a call from the manager of the ski shop. Do you want to tell me what just happened?" I ask what he means, and he replies, "Well, he said he saw your two friends exit out the back door on video tape, and the police are out searching for Rick's car. Do you want to tell me what just happened?" So I tell him, "Yes. Rick and Jack stole two pairs of skis. I had nothing to do with it, I swear." He says, "Tell them they have ten minutes to get back to the shop and return the stuff, and they might have a chance. You stay where you are. I'm coming to get you."

So I tell Rick, and he flips out, asks me if I'm serious, and I tell him that I am and that he needs to get on the fucking road ASAP. Jack is flipping out too, as his parents aren't home. But they both go back to the shop. Mo stays with me. My dad comes, leaves Mo stranded in the parking lot, and I say, "I'm sure there are a lot of things you'd like to say to me right now, so I'll let you start." He replies, "I have nothing to say to you, other than that you've lost your opportunity to go to Whistler."

Rick and Jack were arrested. They face criminal charges as stealing more than $500 of merchandise is a class C felony. I am most likely not allowed to go to camp, something I've been begging to do for 3 years, because they decided to be retarded while I was around. I'm grounded until they decide what to do.

I stayed out of it, and tried my very hardest to make the right decisions. In hindsight, I should have called my parents and told them what was going on and asked them to come get me at the shop. But I didn't even realize that was a possibility. I was almost arrested, and would have been if the store manager hadn't been a saint and saved my future, as well as Mo's future. I am unspeakably angry at Rick and Jack. Thoughts, anyone?
 
Your "friends" are morons. butttt really you should of tipped off the manager or an employee or something
 
dude sorry, that really sucks, sounds like you didn't do anything wrong
maybe try to talk with your dad about that, let him know that you did everything in your power to keep the retards from stealing the skis (btw your friends are mentally retarded) and maybe you can go to camp
 
Oh by the way, Rick just graduated high school and was going to college. Jack is still in high school, entering Junior year. They both face jail time.
 
Thats rough man, why they gotta steal from the local shop that is still probably strugglin to make it in this economy. At least your not up against a felony though. One of those cases were you did what 99 percent of people would have done in your situation and your getting the shaft for it. Wrong place wrong time, but maybe you can have a talk with your rents and still make it to whistler.
 
ya im not sure how good of friends these are... but it sounds like you got stuck in a real shitty situation. maybe if those two friends are semi decent theyll be honest and say you had nothing to do with it. good luck man hope ya get to go
 
By the way, I talked to the manager of the store afterwards, face to face, and told him I was sorry for their behavior and that I couldn't thank him enough for saving my future.
 
No "friend" uses his friend's cars to hide and transport stolen shit without his consent. It's like hiding drugs in a friends car who doesn't know. It's bullshit. And you should tell your dad that just because they're retarded doesn't mean you should sacrifice your trip. You had nothing to do with this short of being used.
 
Just to clarify, it was Rick's car. But I'm still fuming at both of them. If not for that store manager, Rick would have fucked my entire life over. I'm an all-honors/AP student, straight A's, looking at Ivy League schools, no shit. And they could have kept me from getting into any college. They could have destroyed my life, and they almost did.
 
You really didn't do anything wrong. You probably should have told the Manager or someone, but I could see how that would slip your mind. Show your parents this thread. You don't deserve to be punished for something you didn't do.
 
wtf go make your faggot ass friends explain to your parents that you didnt do shitthem you probaly have more of a chance of going to camp
 
that really sucks. you really should have manned up and not let your friends do that...even though you didn't do it yourself, you allowed it to happen. i know, i know, easier said than done...
 
i know exactly what you mean, its hard to rat out someone even if they are being a fucking idiot.

ive been in positions like this before and its really hard to anything but stay as uninvolved as possible.

you did everything right, i hope your parents are cool about it once it clears up.
 
No way they'll get jail time.

The way I see it, your friends got fucked over by bringing you along. Otherwise they would've gotten away with it, the manager would've had no idea who they were. And to add to that, even if the manager had wanted to press charges against you, all you'd need is a lawyer and the case would be dropped due to lack of evidence (you were never on tape leaving the store with merchandise).

Still stupid as fuck on their part though.
 
ur an ass homie...first off it starts out by saying they went out to picup this kids gear in the first place, then they had that awesome idea to steal
Second of all they were on camera soooo they got the car make and license plate number fersurre.
third he was with the friends on camera is my guess even if it was just entering and leaving the car, thats some evidence right there
i think its wrong for your parents to cancel your camp cause obviously u didnt really do anything wrong and they should realize u didnt participate but u were just an accesory
 
isnt it obvious? tell your father that if he dosent let you go to momentum your gonna go over to your friends houses who stole the merchandise and you are going to beat them both to death with a logging chain
 
dude that sucks so bad i'm sorry

But, you should have just gotten out of the car as soon as your retard friends came out with the stolen skis then you could have just told the manager straight up you had nothing to do with this and you would still be going to whistler

Then again shit happens but i hope after some serious begging and explaining you can still go cause if you dont thatd be some serious money down the drain
 
shoulda not gotten in the caror gotten out
i woulda done that if they were my best friends that i have know for my whole life"fuck you guys, door slams, mo likely follows, they drive off, your left with ur skis and mo in the parking lot to tell the running manager what happened"
i love my local shop, i wouldnt want people stealing from them
 
^yeah. they must be complete idiots. what kind of a dick would steal from a local ski shop anyway.
 
i know i mean really. they obviously would have known the thiefs know and were with him and they had his name on file and everything.

its a pretty big fail of a plan.
 
To the original post, so what. A friend of mine from age 12 all the way till now (19) died today. He was the greatest person in the world, and wanted us to drink and celebrate his life tonight. We honored him, and we were busted by the police. So some of us were cited tonight, by honoring our dead friend. You not going to spoiled brat camp is nothing.
 
No offense because losing someone sucks major balls, I've had more than my fair share of that.

But why would getting trashed help celebrate his life?
 
so you've never been incredibly pissed off because you were going to miss something you were looking forward to? just because someone somewhere on our planet dies the op does not have to "not care" because you think its only a "spoiled brat camp"
 
There is always more fucked up shit going on in the world than "almost-ruining-your-life-and-not-getting-to-Whistler". Like anyone from Congo could come here and claim with their lives being fucked up because they live in shacks made of elephant shit and can't get fresh water and don't even know what snow looks like. So there is no reason to come here and be all negative and shit because you've been through worse stuff than in the topic's case.

Vibes for AreMG. Go tell your retarted friends that the least they could do is to explain the shopkeeper and your dad that you had no part in the felony and you were trying to stop them.
 
I dont want to read the whole thread, so i dont know if this has been stated.

Maybe have your friends talk to your dad to tell them that you said that it was a bad idea, and had no part in it.
 
thats really shitty but you r still lucky you didnt get in trouble just for being with them thats happened to me before
 
That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Your friends are mentally handicapped thinking they could just walk out with two sets of skis, when they came with you to pick up your skis. You're a paying, honest customer to the shop and the manager saved your shit. Your parents should understand too though, that's not a reason to keep you home from camp. Make your friends write a letter of apology to your rents or something.

Wrong place, wrong time dude. +vibes
 
That sucks soooooo bad dude i hope you get to go to whistler that would suck so bad if you couldnt. your friends are dip shits by the way
 
The kid was a happy kid, and loved having a good time. He told us when he died he didnt want people sad and depressed, but wanted a kegger going on in his name.
 
I've been pondering this a lot. It shouldn't make your dad feel better that he punished you for hanging out with tha wrong people that put you in tha wrong situation at tha wrong time. Like almost everyone in here has said, you ballsed up and told tha truth, thus doing the right thing while before having no control over the situation. Sit down with pops and tell him this outrage.
Your friends are fucking tools, that is such a dumb thing to do. Had they have gotten away it was seriously just be a dick move. This isn't dicks sporting goods we're talkin' about. This is a roots shop, i hang around one all the time. The nice things they do for people and how much they g out of there way to cut deals and help others. I have absolutely no respect for that kind of shit. Hope being arrested is a reality check.If not get them out of your life.
