Default Mel Ott Bat Stolen at National

My Mel Ott bat was stolen from John Taube's booth yesterday at the National. I purchased this bat in the recent July Hunt Auction and it had just been delivered to John at the show for grading. A police report has been filed and I am doing everything possible, including notifying auction houses and dealers. A pic of the bat is attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I got an email about this earlier in the day. Very sorry to hear about this. I am sure that everyone will be keeping an eye out for it. If you keep at it long enough, there's a real chance that you will find it someday.

That really sucks. Sorry and hope you get it back soon. This is the stuff that makes me second guess this as my hobby.

Why? Their are thieves in every hobby where there are valuable items. I see the same unfortunate type of posts whenever there is a big comic or coin convention.

How could they let someone walk off with a $40,000 bat?

Brock, I know zero about bats. Is that really a $40,000 bat? What a heartbreaker.

With so many eyes now on the lookout, the thief (is it possible it was misplaced?) might have a difficult time selling it; and even if they do sell it, there is a chance it will surface eventually.
