Long Beach California Show theft
 

Hey Everyone,
I'm sending this out on behalf of Sal Dichiera. Many of you have met Sal at the National Convention. He has only missed a few in 40 years. His car was broken into on Saturday during tear down at the Long Beach Coin /Collectibles show. Some of these items are quite unique, particularly the California League & Pacific Coast League items.. A list of the identified stolen items is included along with a police report number. Sal's contact info is included. Thanks,

Mark

Oh gosh, what a nightmare! Hope they find the stuff for Sal. That is just so wrong.

Terrible.

Wow Mark, that is a world of interesting and valuable items taken. Hopefully your posting will bring some positive results for Sal..there are a lot of unusual items that will hopefully attract someone's attention here if they become available.

Mark:
This makes me sick. When you talk to Sal please tell him Andy and I are hoping for a positive police outcome.

Sick to my stomach reading this from the other side of the country. Can't even imagine how Sal must feel. :(:(

horrible hope the they catch the scum

That is a LOT of stuff! They must have worked fast.

This is terrible and makes you sick to your stomach! I remember most of these items from his display at the National.

That stinks!
Hopefully they will turn up soon & the thieves get caught

In addition to echoing what others have said, I hope Sal has adequate insurance coverage.

I hope they find the items and the thief. I used to go to the Long Beach but stopped recently. The show area has always been sketchy. Los Angeles including Long Beach and all surrounding areas have inadequate Police . My car was stolen in LA a few years ago. The guy was caught but local DA doesn't even put people in jail for stealing cars. I wish for the best here.

Awful. Hope the scoundrel(s) pay for what they have done, items recovered, irrespective of DA who lets them walk.
