Default Stash Your Valuables In The Ski Sack!

Thanks to TSHong, I have just learned that I do NOT know everything!

He said he uses the ski sack opening (from which he has removed the actual sack for subwoofer purposes) to stealthily hide valuables directly into the trunk, rather than the usual route of carrying said items out of the car in plain view of potential thieves and placing them in the trunk, thus "hiding" them there, yet advertising that fact to everyone watching.

I could imagine if the ski sack was in place and the car was broken into, even if it had a purse and a tablet in it, it would go overlooked by most thieves from inside the car (as long as the ski sack door was shut) as well as well as from inside the trunk (just looks like a disused ski sack).

Only potential problem is it's unreachable from the front seat for the average human. But still much more discreet to open the back door and deposit/remove items than the walk around the car method.

Happy motoring!

I use my ski sack to actually carry skis! Anyone else actually used it for that purpose? It's also come in handy for the odd trip to ikea too.

I take mine off for road trips so the cats can get into the trunk.

You must be better folding up the sock than I am. Barely can get the doors closed as it is.
Never used it for ski's, but a Lacrosse D-pole fits fine. Carried two yesterday, along with several shooter sticks.

I live in ATL in the SE so there is no ski resort around here worth driving to. If I go Snowboarding, I like going west, usually Steamboat Springs.

I have actually used the ski sock to carry lumber before but put it in through the truck so the sock is in the interior.

That's the way round it's supposed to be used.
