Not really a lost / found, more of a stolen / recovered story. In my pre-vintage collecting days back in '95, I was transporting all of my high end (read: shiny stuff) cards from one place to another. I parked in downtown Akron to run inside a florist to pick up some "just because" flowers for my (then) girlfriend. After returning to the previously locked car, my cards (which were in a piece of carry-on lugguge) were gone. Needless to say, I was none too pleased. My collection was high end enough those that all of the dealers in the area knew my collection and what it contained. I got a phone call a couple of days later when the kids tried to sell the cards to a local dealer. I got everything back except for one Michael Jordan card. For a while there, those were some expensive flowers!
