as for the card albums, I know of people who had entire albums stolen from their tables in the day.
As for this story it has made the national news and then some. Both my wife and mother-in-law (who lives with us) asked me separately last night about this theft. Using the standard of if someone not in theh obby knows you are or a situation this quialifies
There are really good photos of the miscreants, and for the the insurance almost all of the cards are graded which is a great help in stopping any discussion with them not wanting to pay you
And yes, I do have experience in that subject as I chatted many times back in the day with insurance companies wanting to get some background on values claimed
Some were easy to verify but others like if the person claimed ALL their 1950's cards were mint was enough for me to tell the company -- not a chance every card (and they were all raw in those days) is mint
I also had a fascinating experience with an FBI agent once about a different situation and let me tell you how good they were in getting the person they were after.
This is expensive enoiugh the feds will be involved.
