Stolen Old Judge Baseball Cards, Please Beware

[BobbyStrawberry]

I'm glad you got them back, OP. I'm curious how they were stolen and how they were found.

I also share a bit of surprise that law enforcement jumped in and solved this so quickly...in many parts of the country cops are under-resourced to where a small number of stolen baseball cards (from most people, anyway) is going to be a very low priority.

I'm glad for the happy ending, Dave!

+1 Details. Who is Melissa?

But most importantly, glad you got them back. Can't remember reading any of these theft threads whereby the owner got them back, frankly.

All but 2 of the cards stolen from Memory Lane Auctions were recovered.

I was surprised by that as well.
We had a $125k truck stolen from work early last year and it took 4 phone calls and 3 hours to even get an officer to come out and write a report. When the officer did arrive he seemed genuinely annoyed that he was even there. There was also no investigation and no follow-up from the responding officer or the department. When we tried to follow up with the department on two different occasions we were just told to file an insurance claim.
