The burglar had laid out all my cards neatly on the dining room table, sofa and coffee table - but he didn't take any of them! That got me looking at them again and getting interested in them. I still wonder why he didn't take any of them. I had Mantles, all the 66 Topps high numbers, Namath, etc. Maybe he was looking for a Robin Ventura rookie card?
Dave,
No one said burglars were smart.
