I hope the vendor gets his cards back

What an Asshole. Should be caught plenty of pictures of him.

We said the same of the Dallas show thieves.

Unfortunate.

I'm amazed nobody noticed this. he grabbed an entire case!

Agreed but from reading the FB response posts, he appears to be a "regular" at Oklahoma shows so if you see him, get him shadowed for he'll keep doing that until caught and prosecuted

Face and features are clear enough that I can't see this not being a fairly quick solve.

2 Row....
 

Looks more like a 2 Row box full of cards but still amazing that no one saw him.

UGH!

If you can't find the bald pate, you must exonerate!!

After all the big thefts that have occurred at shows recently, why leave a box of cards on a table your not watching yourself?

I'm surprised at how empty the show was when this happened. All the shows I've been to recently have been packed.

It makes no sense, at the beginning of the clip on the left side you can see someone inside the booth looking right in that direction.

Maybe people are staying away because of all the anger.

The bright side is that there will be less wealth to show up on the pickups thread, so less people will be upset.

Trying to find a bald pate in this hobby is like trying to find a sale on Black Friday. Hopefully he has some other distinguishing characteristics...

Got to be during Friday setup. Ive been to this show multiples times in the past 1-2 ywars and it wasn't ever this quite.

I'm only seeing someone with their back turned away while the vulture stuck.

Ah right you are.

Ballsy none the less

I had recently been kicking around the idea of setting up at a show. Given the frequency with which theft occurs these days, it's just not worth it to me.

Same here. Would like to set up but dang. I had even thought about photocopying my “high value “ cards and only agreeing to an in person meeting to exchange, but not sure that would be practical.

Well...

Just a thought...

Before you photocopy your cards you might think about not setting a box full of t205 and t206 cards on your table and then turning around and walking away.

Not blaming anybody...

Maybe just a little...


Doug "did I just victim blame?" Goodman

If the cases are locked & chained to the table, you should be OK if you left the table for a few minutes during setup. But, don't leave anything on top of the cases.

Wondering if the kid was with him. Seems suspicious… both dressed the same too. Hope not for the kids sake…

I hope the next thread I read is that this jackass is caught.

The only people I really trust with my cards is my family and my buddy Walt.

You trust your family with your cards??????

My wife would sell it all in a skinny minute.

Wow,
A box that size had to have 100's of T cards in it

awful !

And for pennies on the dollar! Then she'd be off to shop at the nearest "fashion" stores.

:D

Dude, I'm sorry, but your best buddy Walt already has a plan to take you down. He's just waiting for the right moment. :D:eek::D

You mean.....
 

She'd sell them for what you told her you paid for them!!?? :D

From Facebook, A positive Update on this situation
 

Niiiiiice

Can't see it since I'm not on Facebook. What does it say?

They caught the guy and recovered the cards.

Glad to hear the perps were apprehended, and the stolen goods were returned to their owner.

Hopefully there's a stiff penalty for such crimes against cardboard.

I was hoping to read this!!!!

Note how casual he is...the way he looks, walks, how he is dressed....strolls up so casual to the point where one could think the box belongs to him.

I think it was Goethe who said, "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he wasn't a bald and pudgy senior citizen in casual wear." :rolleyes:

A true visionary

omg...

They should release his name and his mugshot, so that everybody can keep a lookout for him. A thief is not just going to steal once ...

Whatever has happened to the hobby we knew and loved; Nowadays it makes collecting rusty nails seem attractive.

I bet the kid was in on it. Watch the video closely, it looks suspicious. I hope we get the full story.

Though you may not care about TCG/Pokemon (I don't), it's adjacent to the hobby...

The amount of theft going on in the TCG/Pokemon community the past year+ is nation-wide and alarming. A seller is getting hit practically weekly in any random community...from table snatches to storefront breaking/entering smash and grabs...

You can do a web search for "Pokemon theft" and get a buffet of news articles all over the nation.

Your 100 pct correct.i have no patience for thieves and con artist.
