No, theyre not doomed. If you read the article, it says that theyre offering a $1000 reward for the safe return of the snowboard, no questions asked. I'm betting the person that stole it will just send it back and cash in on the $1000.
reminds me of this one off productions downhill bike made by honda that weqs stolen... considering the fact that you cant by or sell it the person with it is fucked like they cant even ride it without being busted all they can do is sell some parts and keep the frame........ anyways that sucks balls for the chick
