Disturbing & Shameful!

[Raven]

real sorry to hear that Kadir -man that sucks

and Also to hear of NILS.C stuff stolen as well...

i wasn't fortunate enough to attend either event

this year, for many reasons...

but when i do (next time)

you can rest assured that i will be watching

at any and all vendors booth's for a similar crime

and i'll have no reservation about jumping on top of them.

i would hope that everyone at S-B feels exactly the same way.

everything will have to be sealed in locked glass cases- geesch !

I volunteer my security services, ok maybe not volunteer. How about a plug an hour?

Seriously, it's bound to happen. That big of a crowd, moving in all directions. Some vendors having one person to man the table. It's hard to watch each other backs when its that crowded and still give your customers your undivided attention.

Its a shame.

Several years back I was doing an odd job for a guy in the liquidation business, this was back before you had stores like Building 19 etc...

Basically he was buying merchandise from a housewares trade show show floor in Chicago at 25 cents on the wholesale dollar, then we would truck all the crap back to Iowa where he would sell it in his shop.

My job aside from driving one of the trucks was to keep the Teamsters from stealing everything before it could get loaded!

The amount of money you had to grease those guys to do anything was incredible.
