No, wasn't saying that.

Just saying don't make shit up that you don't know is true.

Oh, the irony.

With all the attention this theft is getting, I think there is a better than zero chance that the cards are already in a dumpster or at the bottom of Lake Erie.

I see what you're saying, the thief might be scared stiff.

On the other hand, how easy is it for someone, especially a thief, to throw away $2,000,000.00?

If the FBI is knocking on their door it might be a little easier. Let's all hope the cards are returned. Some close to the investigation still think it's possible they are, but no one knows right now.

I would think a decade ago this would have been solved in a couple days as the suspect list can't really be more than a small handful of employees. However, in the current day and time, getting an arrest requires 250 pages of evidence and a signed letter from the heads of every major police department within a tri-state area...then you are released with no bail within 2 hours.

Seems like I would not need Columbo to find which minimum wage employee was searching incoming packages and had no idea of the magnitude of his lackluster effort of a heist. I doubt they are dumped or burned as this level of genius would most likely think this was a future come up when the heat blows over. I think these are well hidden at a different location for a future plan that does not currently exist.

These cases are not solved by the perp fessing up, these guys can never keep the bragging silent on something like this. You have to try to break family and friends to see who he/her told.

I don't think it would be hard to sit on the cards if you did steal them. I have an entire safe full of cards at my house and nobody knows about it. If I don't need the money today, I could wait five, ten or even fifteen years and have them regraded two or three times in between.

I'm not sure with the specific lots that we are dealing with, outside of the Cobb. But I would imagine most of the cards, would be able to be cracked and resubmitted, if the thief was smart and willing to bide their time.

The Cobb, there's no way of getting around it. It's such a rare issue, and that one looks so unique I think it would be borderline impossible to crack, reslab and sell anytime soon.
