I love that auction houses bring items to shows because there have been a few times being able to see the item in person just cemented the fact that I had to have that particular item.
The question is did ML inform anyone at BW that a package was being shipped to them? If so, did they tell them the value?
The amount of employee turn over at a cut rate hotel like BW is huge so unless the owner (if privately owned) or the General Manager was contacted and informed then ML was just playing with fire. Hotels like this aren't equipped to protect valuables like that. Does anyone expect a hotel desk clerk making $13 an hour is going to care or protect a package. Hell, I can't tell you how many hotels I have walked into and there isn't anyone at the desk and it takes someone a couple of minutes or more to actually show up.
Even if they did inform the hotel that a very valuable package was being shipped to them it just opens the door for a low wage hotel worker to set up the theft.
Is it common for auction houses to ship collectibles to a hotel like this for a show? I can't imagine that it is. I just don't understand the thought process of ML to send someone else's property like this.
