I also find it kind of suspicious that the place is closing in less than 15 days. First thing that pops into my head is insurance fraud. How can you put a value of $600K on those baseballs unless you had them insured for $600K. It could just be my criminal mind thinking, but $600K would be a nice Grand Closing bonus. I mean absolutely no disrespect to the owners. I don't know them and being robbed is awful. Everyone has to realize that I come from a place where people would torch their business a week before getting kicked out, just to collect the insurance money on their equipment and start over in another location. I've seen it so many times. I even had a neighbor that had a vehicle fire and after the fire was out, he started throwing broken junk equipment into his truck and restarted the fire. The next day, the insurance guy comes down to determine the loss and he ends up with a new truck and all new equipment for nothing. Scumbag.
