This kind of "prank" makes me sick. It's not even funny, why would someone deprive kids of using Chester Bowl's ski runs by pulling something like this? I hope whoever stole it returns it and soon.

Storm said he figures that maybe some college students happened by, saw the chair on the ground, and thought it might look good in their house or dorm room.

"They probably thought they'd have some fun with it, but it got a lot of publicity," Storm said. "They got a little nervous and brought it back."

Yep. This comment brings back the shit people gave me a few years ago for assuming college students made off with my kid's skeleton stolen on Halloween. Just glad the assholes here -- whoever they might be -- brought back the ski lift chair. And maybe learned a lesson in the process.
