Wow...this sucks. I'm pretty sure I know whose stuff that is...Hopefully it can be tracked down. No way is this stuff ever going to be able to be sold openly anywhere.

Absolutely horrific.

Hoping for a safe and complete return straight away. So many of these items are unique and whose value is primarily tied to their provenance. These are all unsaleable throughout the hobby. Fingers crossed that all is identified quickly.

Horrible, I really feel for the owner.

Will keep an eye out here in Seattle.

[perezfan]

Same here...

I'm local and will keep a close eye out as well. Often, idiots like this will eventually stumble, and I truly hope that's the case here. This is beyond immoral, and I feel terrible for the owner.

I'm hopeful that as a community we can recover these items and return them to their owner. Obviously, the owner was gracious enough to loan this stuff for everyone that went to Safeco to enjoy. A very generous act that should be rewarded with appreciation, not theft. Sorry this happened.

Is security that lacking that someone can break into a ballpark, empty out two cases of memorabilia and then exit said ballpark? Perp would have had to run a gauntlet of cameras I would hope. He'll never be able to move the stuff. A shitty and stupid crime.

I believe that much of this material belonged to a member of our Net54 community that many of us are familiar with. Out of respect for his privacy I will not divulge his name. Lets keep an eye out and take care of one of our own!
